I've been obsessed with villainess manga lately, so I wanted to review the ones I've read so far. It's a fun new-ish genre so it's interesting to compare the ones that are out so far. See under the cut for the reviews.

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (ongoing)

Read 9 Volumes  ||  Rating: 5/5

Review: The OG. Extremely cute and charming, all the characters are really loveable. I really like that the protagonist isn’t the typical shy, blushing flower that a lot of historical/fantasy romance manga use. She’s a weird, brash tomboy and her friends love her anyway.

Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter (ongoing)

Read 8 Volumes  ||  Rating: 5/5

Review: If you’re weirdly nerdy about taxation systems and politics, this is the manga for you. Competence porn at its finest. The love interest is boring but he’s not heavily featured so far, and the protagonist makes up for it by being really good at her job.

The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior (discontinued)

Read 3 Volumes  ||  Rating: 5/5

Review: I’m so sad this one got discontinued. I think it might be getting another manga adaptation, but if it doesn’t, I still highly recommend reading this one. Really lovely found family. The protagonist is really insecure, but she loves her friends and family and just wants to take care of them <3<3<3

The Villainess Stans the Heroes: Playing the Antagonist to Support Her Faves! (ongoing)

Read 3 Volumes  ||  Rating: 4.5/5

Review: This one is surprisingly fun. The protagonist is a huge fan of the heroes, and it’s fun seeing her reactions to the new characters as the hero party grows. Also, the love interest is pure 14-year-old wish fulfillment is the best way.

7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! (ongoing)

Read 4 Volumes  ||  Rating: 4.5/5

Review: Protagonist has lived multiple lives and uses her experience to problem solve. The love interest has become evil in her previous lives, but she doesn’t know why. I’m really interested to see where it goes. The love interest is a little weird, not sure how I feel about him yet.

I Swear I Won't Bother You Again! (ongoing)

Read 4 Volumes  ||  Rating: 4.5/5

Review: Protagonist tried to murder her half-sister and was put in jail, and was sent back in time to before she started bullying her sister. There’s two love interests, the prince and the childhood best friend. The prince is boring, but the best friend is cute and charming, and the protagonist is dealing with her guilt over her past actions.

I'm in Love with the Villainess (ongoing)

Read 5 Volumes  ||  Rating: 4/5

Review: Fun lesbian version of the typical villainess narrative. I like seeing the villainess warm up to the protagonist. The protag does rub me the wrong way a little bit, but overall quite enjoyable.

Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss But I'm Not the Demon Lord (ongoing)

Read 2 Volumes  ||  Rating: 4/5

Review: The villainess is really nerdy about levelling up and training in a really funny way. This one isn’t very long yet, but it’s charming so far.

Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Body Swap in the Maiden Court (ongoing)

Read 4 Volumes  ||  Rating: 4/5

Review: Villainess body-swap. The protagonist is a little bit boringly perfect, but the outfits and the court drama are really fun.

Tearmoon Empire (ongoing)

Read 3 Volumes  ||  Rating: 4/5

Review: Villainess gets reincarnated as her younger self after she gets guillotined. She’s charmingly self-serving, although everyone around her thinks she’s a genius and totally selfless.

I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness: I'll Spoil Her with Delicacies and Style to Make Her the Happiest Woman in the World! (ongoing)

Read 3 Volumes  ||  Rating: 4/5

Review: Some good hurt/comfort in this one. The villainess is rescued by a wizard. The wizard protagonist is a little obnoxious, but it’s nice to see the villainess get some comfort and love.

The Do-Over Damsel Conquers the Dragon Emperor (ongoing)

Read 4 Volumes  ||  Rating: 4/5

Review: The protagonist has gone back in time into her child body, but she’s a total badass. I find the character really charming and the plot compelling. The only weirdness is the age difference between the grown adult love interest and the (ostensibly) child protagonist, but the romance is still really cute to me. I feel weird about this one but I do like it so idk

The Holy Grail of Eris (ongoing)

Read 6 Volumes  ||  Rating: 4/5

Review: The protagonist is haunted by the spirit of a dead villainess. The protagonist’s personality is very passive, and it’s fun to see how the two play off of each other. There’s also an interesting mystery to solve regarding the villaness’s death. The love interest is also charming.

Formerly, the Fallen Daughter of the Duke (ongoing)

Read 5 Volumes  ||  Rating: 3/5

Review: Protagonist has been replaced by her half-sister and runs away. Protagonist and love interest are both pretty boring. There’s some interesting side characters that never get flesh out. Very strange plot. Overall somehow both weird and mediocre.

I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss (complete)

Read 3 Volumes  ||  Rating 3/5

Review: Protagonist gets dumped by prince, goes and asks the demon king to marry her. Art is cute, and it had potential, but ultimately it was pretty mediocre.

Also, the last three below only have 1 volume out in English so far, so I don't have reviews for them. But if you want to get in on the ground floor, these are just starting.
