THE BANISHED VILLAINESS! LIVING THE LESIURELY LIFE OF A NUN MAKING REVOLUTIONARY CHURCH FOOD

A misunderstood villainess was banished to a small town where she finds freedom, romance and other male leads all while making delicious food.

Other titles: The banished villainess!

[rantheon]

the bakarina anime is done! it’s just a drop in the ocean that is the otome isekai genre so these are some recs + what you need to know about them. i just listed most of my favs otherwise it’d be too long :p

in no particular order. includes some non-isekai ones too. needless to say most of these aren’t completed yet

my next life as a villainess: all routes lead to doom

using this to plug that there’s more bakarina content in the form of light novels, manga and 3 spin-offs

an observation record of my fiancee - a self-proclaimed villainess

told in the pov of prince cecil, whose fiancee bertia straight up tells him she’s a villainess of an otome game from her past life

if you ever wonder what jeord from bakarina might be thinking half the time, this is probably close. cecil is the same kind of prince who initially finds things bored and predictable until they met the mc

the things cecil would get up to for bertia? hoo boy

also the way the mangaka draws hair is addicting to look at

the villainess cecilia silvie doesn’t want to die so she decided to crossdress

the title speaks for itself~ after remembering an otome game she played in her past life, cecil (previously cecilia) is now the one capturing the hearts of the academy ladies instead

it’s fairly new so there’s not much of it yet :c but it’s pretty interesting

the original otome game had a whole rpg combat system going on and i’m hyped to see how it’s gonna lead the story

the Angelique vibes are strong in this one

the villainess wants to marry a commoner

isabella used to play an otome game in a past life, but she was really only interested in a side character named ursch. and then one day she finds him in her mansion garden

her past life self is such a mood - i too have 100% otome games in hopes of side characters getting hidden routes but alas

definitely deserves the ‘video game’ tag. isabella can see status screens and character stats/skills etc, and all the gacha rewards and grinding transferred over after her reincarnation. she’s the isekai female protag we’ve always wanted

seriously the main ship is too op for their own good aha

deathbound duke’s daughter

in a past life, erika only managed to finish 2.5/7 scenarios of an otome game thanks to an unlucky encounter with knife-kun. with the different flags of her impending doom approaching, she takes things into her own hands years before the game events start

very fantasy-oriented (the most on this list) and pretty action-packed, once you get past the game exposition in the first 3? chapters

the world building is brilliant, from the hafan mages to the aurelian alchemists, and there’s beasts and wands and spells and dnd stuff sprinkled in

the cast has quite interesting dynamics and interwoven plotlines, and they’re all dorky in their way :>

beware of the villainess

melissa remembers a novel from her past life and desperately tries to cut off contact with the male leads, but they still make her life hell & she rages

she’s just so done with everyone and you can’t help but relate to her

definitely the funniest on this list XD melissa and her reactions takes the cake but even the shit characters are hilarious in their own way

there’s also a lot of parodies to memes etc & best of all, there’s cussing. all the shits and fucks. a whole lot of it

it’s great

death is the only ending for the villainess

penelope wakes up as the villainess from a game she’d been playing in her past life, only right now it's on the hardest difficulty where death is literally everywhere. thus she tries, well, not dying

what’s cool about this is that penelope has access to the original game system. she can see menus, choice options etc. the male leads even have affection percentages floating above their heads :> which is always cool to see (and what i’m a sucker for)

but it’s definitely one of the darker ones on this list. iirc there’s depictions of violence, abuse, drugs and then some. just a fair warning

the daughter of albert house wishes for ruin

upon realizing that she’s the villainess from a past-life otome game, mary decides to stay as one. chaos ensues

i love this manga so much, everyone is so quirky and there’s something to laugh about on almost every page. the story almost feels self-aware of itself and just lets the characters do whatever. like ride bikes

addie is so cute ;o;

it’s definitely something everyone should experience

i’m a villainess daughter so i’m going to keep the last boss

one of the finished ones!

post-annulment, aileen pulls a Lisa Tepes and asks the demon king claude to marry her. he refuses. hijinks ensues

mostly on the fantasy side, as it builds on the world of the monsters

the cast is pretty fun! aileen’s smart, funny and pretty competent in her own right. plus she and claude are positively adorable together

milady just wants to relax

post-annulment, ronia decides to open a cafe in the countryside. it later becomes the frequent hangout of a beastmen mercenary group, who are intensely feared by the townsfolk

well... beastmen. that’s all you need to know /wink

okay, that aside, it’s just as chill as the title suggests. ronia slowly makes friends she can trust, and the beastmen find a second home in the only cafe that’s willing to accept them. it’s pretty wholesome

the banished villainess! living the leisurely life of a nun making revolutionary food

despite actively trying to change her ‘villainess from a past-life otome game’ fate since childhood, elizabeth gets annulled, her noble title stripped, and is sent to a church in a neighboring kingdom. she enjoys it more than expected, despite the appearance of the ever watchful leonid

there’s plenty of 21st-century food like sandwiches, cotton candy leonid’s muscles <3

the entire cast is lovable, and can chris get an f for all the heart attacks leonid keep giving him

seduce the villain’s father

yereninovica (or just yerenica) realizes that she’s in the world of a novel she read in her past life, but as the aunt of said novel’s mc. after thwarting a kidnapping that’s basically the mc’s origin story, she takes it upon herself to also prevent the tragic death of emperor belgoat

a bit different since it switches the roles around (side character x side character) and goes into the “parent generation” of the original work

there’s also an interesting bit where the world seems to recognize her as a hijacker, and where that takes her, we’ll see in due time :o:

plus the way yeni habitually calls him ‘father’ cracks me up every time

transferred to another world but i’m the savior of an otome game

after a ritual gone wrong, “yamada tarou” (fake name) is stuck in the world of an otome game. the only way back is with a magical ring, normally obtained after becoming the lover of one of the male leads. he of course says no i’m going adventuring but the game doesn’t like that

it’s absolutely hilarious - the leads treat our mc like a heroine, and there’s a lot of otome tropes that are called out on/parodied. like the seiyuus’ names oh my god

tarou’s reactions are great and his appraisal skill is the funniest thing alive

endo and kobayashi’s live commentary on the villainess

in modern japan, endo and kobayashi start their playthrough of an otome game, which becomes a bit glitchy and odd. they discover that siegward, a male lead in the game, can hear what they’re saying. they use this chance to finally give lisolette a happier ending

much of the story’s focus is on the characters slowly warming up to lisolette, and a bit on endo/kobayashi’s irl relationship. despite being the primary drive of the story, lisolette herself hardly moves the plot - if you know what i mean

regardless it’s undeniably adorable

tearmoon empire

no isekai, more of time travel? chronoskimming?

mia wakes up 10 years in the past after being sentenced to death. now afraid of guillotine-kun, she strives to solve the issues in her kingdom that had previously led to her doom

a bit similar to bakarina in terms of concept: avoid death flags, unknowingly recruits the people she meets into her little saintess cult. the misinterpretation is very strong, and in brilliantly funny ways

it has really fun narration ngl especially in the light novel

of course, i’ll claim palimony!

to prepare for her annulment, yulia starts scheming recording her fiance’s meetups with the heroine to use as evidence. if you’re gonna lose a suitor, might as well get some money out of it, right? along the way she gets involved with rudonik, one of the male leads

no reincarnation. rather than an otome game, the villainess story comes from a book written by a side character, and the “heroine” just decided to play it out in real life

the cast together is a riot, and it’s entertaining to watch yulia only think in profits and every connection she can make to achieve it

the villainess’ slow prison life began with her broken engagement

no isekai, just a plain old villainess

post-annulment, rachel is sentenced to imprisonment. which she enjoys and is thoroughly, hilariously prepared for

everyone’s a little afraid of rachel and for good reason. it’s better to find out yourself through the LN or manga, but let’s just say that even the king doesn’t want to deal with her XD

the holy grail of eris

now this one is interesting, putting the villainess trope into a mystery ghost story. that said, no isekai either

our innocent heroine constance attends a party and encounters scarlet, an executed villainess from ten years ago. a body possession and some public embarrassment later, they decide to team up to solve the mystery that might be behind scarlet’s death

i mean, ghost villainess? sign me up

+ some honorable mentions

i favor the villainess (the heroine goes for the villainess- girls? girls? yes)

a bellicose lady got reincarnated (a delinquent reincarnates as a heroine; what a concept :o unfortunately there’s not a lot of english content for it yet)

it seems i got reincarnated into a yandere otome game (i like that the mc actively makes it so that game can’t ever happen the way it should; plus, yanderes are always interesting to study)

inso’s law (modern isekai, and quite cute!)

the reincarnated young lady aims to be an adventurer / holy guardian tiger (similar to deathbound duke’s daughter in that there’s more of a focus on the fantasy aspect)

expecting to fall into ruin, i aim to become a blacksmith (so far the only one with a shounen tag that i like; its main charm is probably the cast and their interactions with each other eliza best girl)

since i’ve reincarnated as the villainess’ father i’ll shower my wife and daughter with love (big big wholesome vibes)

level 99 villainous daughter (severely op lady who takes no shit from the people looking down at her, and regularly thinks about blowing up the academy within the first 4 chapters? hell yeah)

may i please just ask one last thing? (post-annulment, the mc literally punches everyone in the room; it’s great)

this is getting long now oops

edit: i also made a visual-friendly personally-tagged-by-me bookshelf here!

[galazykatz]

I want to love Nadrika. I REALLY do. But like, I'm suspicious as hell because every time my OTP sails, it normally ends up like the titanic... If the titanic had also been on fire and imploding in on itself with the force of a collapsing neutron star, that is.

And I'm doubly suspicious because this reincarnation, villainess, otome genre has a theme going: The soft boi is ALWAYS bad news!

Don't believe me? Well take a look! Exhibit A!

Cute kid? Right?

Sike! He's a yandere!

Eckles is like a puppy? Dedicated, loyal, and with a desire to please?

Nope. He's a dangerous psycho.

Totally adorbs child? The picture of innocence?

Haha nah! He's a yandere (although admittedly a wholesome and loving one)

So, you see. I really wanna love Nadrika. But when I see this kind, timid, loyal soft boi:

And I see that the ship is sailing smoothly:

I get WORRIED!

Because no way would someone as perfect as Nadrika not have some dark twist. It's against the laws of this genre. And since my OTPs never work out... Well, I'm trying not to get attatched. (>T~T)>

It Looks Like I Fell Into a Reverse Harem Game

[the-scrappy-stinger]

The Banished Villainess! Living The Leisurely Life Of A Nun Making Revolutionary Church Food

(INHALE) man that’s a title...

Like I STARTED reading this one? But the plot’s so predictable it almost hurts! You want a no-challenge isekai romance story, check this one out. It still updates decently!

[seinaet]

every time i think there’s no way the “reincarnated as an otome villain” isekai genre can surprise me anymore, i end up being wrong

[z-comixart]

Otome Isekai #inktober2022 Day 10: Elizabeth from The Banished Villainess! Living the Leisurely Life of a Nun Making Revolutionary Church Food.

Man I just like the idea of a fantasy scam church that does Las Vegas Weddings.

[hikari-writes]

I haven’t seen other isekai villainess series yet, I didn’t even realize it was popular until after getting into my next life, so if you have recommendations, I’d love to try out more!

HameFura was my first Isekai villainess ever! Coincidentally, I'm also a fan of reverse harem so the series really excites me! I don't think there are other animes for isekai villainess (in fact, I think HameFura is the first of its genre to have an anime adaptation. I wish they'd adapt more in the future though) but as you'd probably guess, there are a lot of Light Novels featuring that genre! There are also many manga adaptations of them! Some of the popular and the ones that I'm currently reading are these, though i must tell you that some of these recs are just isekai in general/reborn/reincarnated/transferred to isekai. So these are a variation of isekai genre rather than just a "reincarnated as isekai/otome game villainess" (ho boi,,,, this is a long ass one forgive me)

The Villainess' Slow Prison Life Began With Her Broken Engagement (completed, pretty short but there are the continuation in the LN, which I'll def check in the future!)

Middle-Aged Man's Noble Daughter Reincarnation (haven't read it yet, but it seemed interesting, so I'll just add this too!)

The Vengeful White Cat Lounging On The Dragon King's Lap (this is a transferred into isekai but i thought it's pretty cute! Ongoing)

The Mage With Special Circumstances Wants To Live Peacefully (MC originally lives in the this fantasy world, so i wouldn't say this is an isekai, but it's cute and interesting, so i totally recommend it! Ongoing)

Since I Became A Saint, I'll Do Whatever I Want With My Second Life ~The Prince Was My Lover Who Threw Me Away In My Previous Life~ (reborn in the same world, really interesting and I love the MC. Ongoing)

I'm Thinking Of Quitting The Villainess' Entourage (This is cute 🥺🥺 still ongoing though)

This Time I Will Definitely Be Happy! (I LOVE THIS SO FREAKING MUCH IT'S REALLY INTERESTING AND THE MC IS JUST 👌👌👌 Completed 😢)

Tensei Saki Ga Shoujo Manga No Shiro Buta Reijou Datta (similar to HameFura where the villainess recovers her memories and changed for the greater good, but the setting for this one is shoujo manga rather than otome game. I think the MC is really cute and love how hardworking she is. Ongoing)

I’M A Villainous Daughter, So I’M Going To Keep The Last Boss (WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO END SMH 😢 Like, I love LOVE this manga so freaking much! Totally recommend it 10/10! Just a heads up, original otome game heroine who's kind like HameFura Maria in isekai manga/LN is considered rare. Original otome game heroine like this manga are considered to be more common. So,,, prepare yourself 💀)

Mahoutsukai No Konyakusha (the world the MC is reincarnated in doesn't have any relation to something from her past life, so this is a general fantasy setting. BUT IT'S CUTE SO WHATEVER 🤗 I believe this one is completed 🤔)

For Certain Reasons, The Villainess Noble Lady Will Live Her Post-Engagement Annulment Life Freely (interesting MC, story has main subject, which is medical stuff cause mc was a nurse in her past life, ongoing)

Of Course, I'll Claim Palimony! (This is just so interesting, and i love how straightforward the MC is, not a reincarnated MC or anything, she is originally from the world :) ongoing)

I Was Reincarnated, And Now I'm A Maid! (Reincarnated as the villainess maid instead! This is pretty heartwarming but there aren't many chapters currently, still ongoing)

Endo And Kobayashi’S Live Commentary On The Villainess (This is just so amazing and interesting! Not reborn/reincarnated, but instead, the ones from the normal world is playing the game and gave commentary on the game, one of the character (the prince) can hear them, even though he's in the game. Ongoing)

Milady Just Wants To Relax (reincarnated in a novel world as the villainess! Tells the story of the after life of MC opening up a cafe after she was exiled. So fluffy and the Love interests are beastmen)

Fiancée’S Observation Log Of The Self-Proclaimed Villainess (One of the most popular isekai manga after HameFura! Instead of the female MC's point of view, this is told in the villainess' (aka MC's) fiance's point of view! Also, the villainess in this one wants to confront her bad end rather than avoid it like in HameFura 😂 and she's as dumb as Katarina so 😔😔👌👌👌 ongoing)

When I Woke Up, Twenty Years Passed! ~The Villainous Daughter’S Afterlife~ (cute as shit and hot male LI 😌😌😌 ongoing)

Seijo No Maryoku Wa Bannou Desu (this one is transferred into isekai, i stan the MC so much, she was treated like shit at first, but it gets better dw,,, and the lead male is just so 😍😍😍)

The Villainess Want To Marry A Commoner (this is honestly just so cute and relatable! The reincarnated MC loves one of the supporting cast rather than the main LI in the otome game, so she gets engaged with him and decides to stay away from the heroine and the LI, ongoing)

The Result Of Being Reincarnated Is Having A Master-Servant Relationship With The Yandere Love Interest (reincarnated into yandere otome game! Male lead is a lowkey yandere for his master aka the villainess (MC), ongoing.)

Isekai De "kuro No Iyashi Te" Tte Yobarete Imasu (similar to seijo no maryoku, but still quite different! This is enjoyable too! Completed)

Inso's Law (the only manhwa I'll list here. I just love the relationship the MC and all the LI and original heroine. This one is set in a world of romance novel, but not one that the MC already read or knew. The MC just knew she got transferred and is forced to live in a romance novel world because of how all the laws that applied to a common romance novel is shown when she was living her life there. She was assumed to be the heroine's (normal looking) best friend. Ongoing)

The Banished Villainess! Living The Leisurely Life Of A Nun Making Revolutionary Church Food (ONE OF MY FAV! This is just so cute! (Heads up, shit may or may not go down 👀) but this is still the cutest shit ever, male lead is a scary looking guy that's actually really soft and dense and he loves the villainess (MC) but again, MC is too dumb to realize that 😔 BUT IT'S CUTE SO IT'S ALRIGHT! Ongoing)

May I Ask For One Final Thing? (BADASS MC! YES!! MC is originally from the world and she kicks ass at the people who wronged her, ongoing)

The Villainess Is Adored By The Crown Prince Of The Neighboring Kingdom (again, one of the most popular isekai villaines after HameFura. And again, the original otome game heroine is the exact opposite of Maria, so prepare yourself! This thing is cute as heck! It shows how the Villainess (MC) was treated like shit by one of the male lead (a prince)but then a hotter guy (the neighboring prince) came and proposed to her,, lmao serves the prince right, ongoing)

Isekai De Mofumofu Nadenade Suru Tame Ni Ganbattemasu. (Reincarnated to a fantasy setting world, and the smol MC is adored by all animals, SUPER FLUFFY, just like the title)

I Swear I Won't Bother You Again! (Reborn again in the same world,MC decided to stay away from the Heroine and won't bully her.....which backfired horribly 😜ongoing)

Marielle Clarac's Engagement (MC originally from the world, just shows the life of her as a romance novel writer in the noble world. This one is super cute too, ongoing)

I’M Not A Villainess!! Just Because I Can Control Darkness Doesn’T Mean I’M A Bad Person! (Set in shoujo manga world, and the MC was a misunderstood girl 😢😢😢😢 i love her sm 😔 ongoing)

The Reborn Witch Foretells Destruction (reborn to a fantasy world, and the artstyle is my personal fav! I just love the relationship the MC has with the love interests)

I Am Troubled That My Fiance Is A Villain (just sum cute shit, MC born as a side character, but somehow caught the attention of the otome game Villain and was proposed by him. Also the original otome game heroine is....i think you already get it by now)

The Villainess Will Crush Her Destruction End Through Modern Firepower (BIG BAD BITCH ENERGYYYYYY even though she's a freaking loli, lol remind me of Youjo Senki...villainess MC was reincarnated to an otome game and one interesting trait of her from past life, she loves guns and revolver,,, and all those stuff, ongoing)

It Seems Like I Got Reincarnated Into The World Of A Yandere Otome Game (again, yandere otome game, but the yandere flags are all taken down, so it's safe, (still have some of those yandere tendencies tho) ongoing)

Fake Cinderella (just a patisserie reincarnated to a fantasy world, and she was engaged to a prince that is really fond of her (i say fond because their age gap is a little....questionable) ongoing)

Koushaku Reijou No Tashinami (i barely understand what's going on half of the time but i love the romance the MC villainess has with her LI. (And the LI isn't one of the capture targets from the og otome game) focuses on the subject of politic so.....RIP. but i still love the romance 🥳)

Lady Rose Wants To Be A Commoner (I 👏 LOVE 👏 THIS 👏 It's just freaking amazing and cute! MC is reincarnated as the otome game heroine, but she lets the event flowed to her bad ending, so she got to be exiled and live her life as a commoner. Interesting MC and amazing artstyle! Ongoing)

I Reincarnated Into An Otome Game As A Villainess With Only Destruction Flags... In A Dire Situation!? Verge Of Destruction Arc (HameFura spinoff! This one is set in the world where Katarina is already bullying Maria because her past life memories came like, 5/7(?) years after the incident with the scar with the prince unlike in the OG. I actually just need more HameFura content so,,, 🥺😔👉👈 Katarina's still the same ol dumb so dw,,,also more side characters are introduced! Ongoing)

The Villainess, Cecilia Silvie, Doesn't Want To Die, So She Decided To Cross-Dress! (Haven't read it yet, but i LOVE the genderbend idea!)

The Earl's Daughter Was Suddenly Employed As The Crown Prince's Fiancée (MC is already originally living in fantasy setting world, and her interactions with the crown prince is just so freaking cute i can't,,, ongoing....i think?)

The Daughter Of The Albert House Wishes For Ruin (This is so much fun to read! Same as fiancee observation log, the villainess MC wishes to confront her dead end for some reason, ongoing i think?)

AND THAT'S ALL I CAN GIVE! This post is long as heck, and i haven't even talk about ALL of them, plus there's also the manhwa. 😂😂😂 but i hope you'll like these!

A list of Villainess Manga

Having already provided a list of various manga to my sister, I figured that it’d be unfair to leave the rest of the world out of it.

(I also added even more, though this is admittedly still not the full list of ones I’m keeping an eye on.)

I'm An Opportunistic Princess In-Charge of Solving Things

A princess who's given up on men, because everyone around her are gay, and who supports her gay brother but who'd appreciate it if he'd at least produce an heir:

https://mangakakalot.com/read-bh3oa158504941133

The Villainess Want to Marry a Commoner

A dumbass who fell in love with a side-character in an Otome-game and spent all of her lives savings on micro-transactions in order to have him smile at her, leaving her reincarnated self with some... peculiarities:

https://mangakakalot.com/read-kg2at158504938224

Of course, I'll claim Palimony!

A money-obsessed young woman who supports the author of an in-game prophetic romance novel, and has no issues playing the villainess, but is willing to pressure the author to maybe leave out the prince as a “capture target”, seeing as the prince is willing to pay her money to have the heroine stop pursuing him:

https://mangakakalot.com/read-hb4je158504884971

May I Ask For One Final Thing?

A perfectly proper young woman who's absolutely not violent in the least, and would never react to having her betrothal discarded by gleefully beating the crap out of everyone involved:

https://mangakakalot.com/read-ox0zd158504894259

Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami

A very serious look into a villainess who tries to get her life back together in the aftermath of being tossed out of polite society by the heroine and the prince, only to discover that her country might be  in dire straits:

The Banished Villainess! Living the Leisurely Life of a Nun Making Revolutionary Church Food (Manga)

Created by: Tsumuji Yoshimura

Genre: Shoujo/Isekai

This manga was something I found after I saw some screenshot of it floating around on tumblr. It's actually pretty cute, especially for the main pair of the nun and the knight and much of it is actually rather of slice of life, which is cool. The yandere in this one doesn't appear until halfway through the story, though he doesn't stay (or two, I suppose, depending on what your take is on the other one) and so far this manga has 22 chapters as of writing this review.

The story mostly revolves around Elizabeth living her life as a nun, making friends with nobles, helping to cook and plan in festivals and bazars and of course, getting close to Leo. The first yandere of this story appears when she is chaperoning someone to the ball and ends up meeting Prince Michel. Elizabeth had attempted to break off his route with him when she was younger since she didn't want to end up in the yandere route, though it doesn't have seemed to work considering that Michel is still pining after her. The next we see of him is when his family comes over to hunt. Michel runs into the woods after finding a scent of a young deer (something that Elizabeth wants to use for food) only to have Leo run after him too (as he wants Elizabeth's favor). Upon reaching there, Michel attempts to shoot Leo, but instead succeeds in pushing him off the cliff. Thinking he's dead, Michel goes back to Elizabeth and chases after her until they're both trapped in a cabin in the woods. There Michel attempts to make the two "official" (well, you can guess what that means), while Leo runs towards the cabin after climbing up the cliff and following Elizabeth's scent. Elizabeth is able to stop the two from destroying each other by yelling out a really cheesy romance line ("Stop fighting for my sake!"), which somehow is able to resolve Michel's feelings (as of now, this is the last chapter he's in, but it's possible he still might come back to chase Elizabeth).

The next yandere (?) that comes is when Elizabeth is selling food at a city with her nun family before bumping into him while holding apples. This causes a intro scene to play, leading Elizabeth to wonder who the character is. She donates for a raffle that ends up leading to a raffle for a date with this character. She wins a date with this knight, Alphonse, before Leo attempts to butt in again. We learn about Alphonse's route, where his happy ending ends with killing everyone in the capital of Moise (where Elizabeth goes to) so that the two can be together. She ends up dressing up and goes to the date with Alphonse, though she doesn't seem at all interested in him and the entire time is looking for Leo to see if he has followed her. This causes Alphonse to become jealous and forces Elizabeth to look at him. After that, there's some things about declaration of war and taking a hot spring bath.

This is what I call "technically there's a yandere" where there is a yandere character in the story, but they're either not a huge part of the story, or more one-off and it's more of an excuse for me to talk about a manga I like. There are probably a few more of these types of recommendations in the future because I do what I want on this blog.

For this one, I actually didn't know that Michel wouldn't be a reoccurring character (though, he might come back, who knows) until I started writing the recommendation itself. As a yandere character, he's pretty plain, basically just being a rival towards Leo and hinting towards Elizabeth that she won't be able to avoid the events in the game regardless of what she does. His general yandere actions are basic though, being obsessed with Elizabeth, getting jealous when Leo goes near, trying to off Leo by shooting/pushing him off of a cliff and (I guess) attempting to force Elizabeth in the woods. He does have some good panels, but overall his character is very obviously used to just build comedy and Leo's relationship towards Elizabeth. I do like that we got to see the bad ending for Michel's route via Elizabeth's dreams where she gets captured in a cage since that was interesting. Unfortunately, Michel's route seems suddenly resolved or at least put on hold until the future, though we do see that he did feel lonely without Elizabeth there with him and that he regrets that she was banished.

In terms of Alphonse, his ending honestly seems to me pretty yandere-like, especially since he kills the entirety of a capital just so he can be with Elizabeth and comes off much more like a possessive yandere, considering he always states that "she is his" rather than confess love like how Michel usually did. He also embodies the prince/playboy archetype, though I honestly found most of his lines annoying since Elizabeth shows very little interest towards him. The only real yandere actions we've seen from him so far is that he gets jealous and forces Elizabeth to look at him when she's looking around for Leo. Other than that, we don't see much of him as of yet, since it pushes off with more of a Leo plot.

Leo himself could be considered a light protective yandere since he also does exhibit some traits that yanderes have. First off, he's already stalking Elizabeth throughout the story, generally to protect her, but nevertheless still stalking. We don't really know why he's doing this (other than he loves her) and the only real backstory on why he likes her is when they were younger, Elizabeth gave him a flower. He always attempts to get things for her, like the young deer during the hunting arc and he even is able to sniff out where Elizabeth was trapped in after Michel hunted him down. He gets jealous over all of the love interests that go after her including his own childhood friend, the count. Still though, most of his actions (with the exception that he was somehow able to sniff out where Elizabeth was hiding, which I guess you can attribute to his hunting/knight skills if you squint) are the result of poor communication skills and his straightforward nature. He is very blunt and literal when he talks and when he listens to people, and his face is often very stoic, which leads to people being scared off. While much of his actions is due to his love for Elizabeth, he is still pretty tame for a yandere, if he even is one. That being said, he's really cute when he's near or trying to impress Elizabeth (one of my favorite kinds of male leads are ones who are more stoic but get really flustered around the person that they like) , so it's nice to see how their relationship will continue in the future.

The story itself, as I've said, is very slice of life, which I quite like. Elizabeth herself isn't too bad of a protagonist either because while she is completely ignorant of Leo's feelings towards her (literally everyone else is aware of it), she does have a lot of strengths namely her cooking, as well as planning and entrepreneur skills in terms of getting money for the church. The aura of the series can sometimes get a bit darker, but for the most part, the story is very light hearted and comedic and nothing stays too serious to for too long.

Overall, a fun series to read through. Leo especially is really cute with his feelings towards Elizabeth and I had fun screen capping a bunch of them to barrage Cherry with.

top recs for shoujo isekai

destruction flag otome (the baseline, this is what practically all other shoujo isekai build off of. anime currently airing)

bakarina alter (au manga based off the main story)

inso’s law/law of insomnia (korean comic, modern day isekai where the protag transmigrates into a web novel. its a metaphor for depression)

observation diary from a self-proclaimed villainess’ fiance (this is so fucking funny, its probably one of my favorites)

why raeliana had to go to the duke (my favorite characters, plus its generally just lovely. very sweet and fluffy, fake engagement)

they say i was born a king’s daughter (somewhat of a satire on misogynistic society. stop reading after season 2. trust me. season 3 is not worth it.)

Lady Rose Heimin ni Naritai (probably the strongest characterization, can be pretty heavy at points)

the banished villainess! living the leisurely life of a nun making revolutionary church food! (VERY cute, slow life style manga. mostly about the protag just living her best life and a very stony-faced knight who has a hardcore crush)

What is a Role Isekai?

 So a while ago I made this post:

https://wonderingwhereileftreality.tumblr.com/post/181794156578/what-i-love-and-we-need-more-of-reincarnation

and given the amazing response from it, and the suggestions I read through, I think I finally managed to coin the term for something in the ballpark of what these manga/webcomics are. The term I came up with was “Role Isekai”

So what defines a Role Isekai? Here are the traits I’ve found so far:

- Main Character (MC) reincarnates somewhere; usually some medieval and/or fantasy world, though it can deviate.

- MC finds their self in a particular role in a story they’ve seen before; sometimes it’s a novel/game they came into contact with in their past life, sometimes they’ve time-traveled before a certain tragic event

- If the MC finds their self before/during the event, they usually set up with 1 of 2 goals: either they try to deviate from fate (normally because it results in their death/exile), or they try to stick close to it and end up deviating it anyway.

- If the MC finds their self after the event, they have to face 1 of 2 slightly different goals: either they find some way to escape their punishment, or they embrace that punishment and end up with characters coming after them anyway

- There’s usually some kind of romance/harem involved, though it’s not ultimately required

and these are the elements of a Role Isekai. Some of the entries I made on my previous post fit these criteria, some don’t and are just typical Reincarnation Isekai (which I should make a post about later). Here are the examples of Role Isekai I’ve taken from my list:

- Akuyaku Reijou Nano de Last Boss wo Katte Mimashita/I'm a Villainous Daughter, So I'm Going to Keep the Last Boss

-  Akuyaku Reijou no Torimaki Yameyou to Omoimasu/I'm Thinking of Quitting the Villainess' Entourage

- Akuyaku Reijou no Tsuihougo! Kyoukai Kaikaku Gohan de Yuuyuu Sister Kurashi/The Banished Villainess! Living the Leisurely Life of a Nun Making Revolutionary Church Food

- Akuyaku Reijou wa, Shomin ni Totsugitai!!/The Villainess Wants to Marry a Commoner!!

- Akuyaku Reijou wa Ringoku no Outaishi ni Dekiai Sareru/The Villiainess Is Adored by the Crown Prince of the Neighboring Kingdom

- Albert-ke no Reijou wa Botsuraku wo Goshomou desu/The Daughter of the Albert House Wishes for Ruin

- Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami/Accomplishments of a Duke’s Daughter 

and many more.
