The Villainess Wants to Marry a Commoner!!

MyAnimeList Rating: 6.92/10

As a fan of the game ‘Love Magical,’ the would-be villainess always had her eyes set on the supporting character named Ursch, even forgoing the game’s main leads. After being reincarnated as villainess Isabella Ali Rottenstein in the same game, she no longer has to fawn over Ursch through her screen.

Isabella may be the villainess, but a fickle title like that won’t stop her from winning Ursch over. The Villainess Wants to Marry a Commoner!! stays true to its namesake, with the transmigrated villainess denouncing her evil origins simply to be with her favorite commoner.

4

The Fed Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess

MyAnimeList Rating: 7.66/10

After losing her job for an absurd reason, Midori Natori finds herself siphoned into her favorite novel RPG game. Instead of transmigrating into the game as either the villainess or the heroine, Midori maintains her own identity within the game, without being bound by the game’s storyline.

The One Within the Villainess

MyAnimeList: 8.25/10

Isekai villainess manga usually center around the protagonist transmigrating into the villainess’ body, but The One Within the Villainess flips the script by reawakening the original villainess after the protagonist succumbs to her doom-laden fate. Once the original Remilia reawakens, she vows to inflict vengeance on those who wronged the transmigrated girl in her body.

Isekai villainess narratives tend to erase the original villainess after the protagonist takes over their body, making The One Within the Villainess’ premise a first within this trope. With a well-established plot and intriguing characters, this isekai manga does the trope justice through its creative novelties.
