The New Adaptation: “I Got My Wish and Reincarnated as the Villainess (Last Boss)!”
The manga adaptation of Nengan no Akuyaku Reijō (Last Boss) no Karada o Te ni Ireta zo! began serialization on Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket app. Rei Nakajima is handling the artwork for the series, with Hitoha Ushio credited for the original character designs and Maruboro Akai for storyboard drafts.
Story Synopsis
The narrative centers on a 16-year-old girl who, after a battle with illness, passes away. She finds herself reincarnated into the body of her favorite fictional villainess, a character destined for a tragic end. Despite the perilous circumstances—being the dark lord’s daughter, despised by her academy peers, and fated for execution by the protagonist—the girl is overjoyed to possess a healthy, functional body once more. Her new objective is to cultivate strength to overcome all impending threats. Hata originally began serializing this story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in November 2022, where it continues to be ongoing.
