As mentioned earlier, Hakunesha revealed that Toka’s manga has been green-lit for a TV anime adaptation. There was also a message from the author on the series’ Twitter page to celebrate the exciting announcement. However, no release date or details concerning the anime’s cast and staff have been announced. It is still unclear which studio will be responsible for producing the fantasy romance series.
Since its initial release in August 2018, the series has gained a large following, with over 1.7 million copies in circulation. The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess has been published by Hakunesha since 2018. Yen Press has been responsible for releasing the manga in English.
While describing the plot, Yen Press wrote, “Konoha Satou has a dark history. After all, she spent her teen years writing self-indulgent fantasy romance fiction, like her Dark History. But since she’s become its most despicable villainess, remembering every last detail is now a matter of life and death.
The synopsis continues, “Having avoided the first couple of death flags. Satou’s suddenly left in the dark when a mysterious stranger returns from the Lily Kingdom- a character she doesn’t recall writing in the original script. Although Yomi claims to be her ally, can Satou trust a character she knows nothing about in such a dangerous world?”
Akiharu Toka released the manga in Hakusensha’s Lala magazine in 2018, with twelve volumes completed. The third volume will be released on March 5, 2024.
