My Next Life as a Villainess Side Story: Girls Patch (Manga) (My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (Manga))

[Quirky Cat]

Summary:

You know how the story goes. A high school girl wakes up to a new life – quite literally, for she's been reborn as Catarina Claes, a villainess and spoiled daughter of a duke. In other words, a big pain in the butt.

Catarina Claes has changed many people's lives over the years – not that she's realized it. First, there's Mary. She taught her to be bold and confident. Meanwhile, Sophia found the best friend she dearly craved. As for Maria, she found somebody that believed in her. All her girlfriends have reason to cherish the time spent with Catarina and intend to make the most of that time.

Review:

My Next Life as a Villainess Side Story: Girls Patch is a fun anthology focused on the girls within this series. Primarily, Mary, Marie, and Sophia take the lead – all thinking/talking about Catarina, of course.

Honestly, it's endearing seeing how each of the girls looks at Catarina. It's a strong reminder of her positive role in their lives. There are nine stories in this collection, swapping perspectives and overall just having fun.

While I enjoyed this anthology, I will say that some of the stories felt very similar. This is likely because of the same primary focus (Catarina). I'm unsure that all the authors/artists communicated their plans. But honestly, I didn't mind the slight feeling of repetition, as their stories did feel on point with their characters and the primary plot of the series.
