My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (Manga) Vol. 5 (My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!, #5)

by Satoru Yamaguchi

[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.

Somehow, Katarina Claes has managed to avoid countless Doom moments, successfully surviving to the graduation party. Unfortunately, it seems that there's a sequel to this dating sim, and now she's stuck in it! (Again)

Review:

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: don't ever change Katarina. She's just as clueless in My Next Life as a Villainess Vol. 5, but it is still highly endearing. Okay, and it's pretty funny too. This time her cluelessness felt a little more front and center as she dreamed up all these potential romances between the side characters. Too funny.

There's a real tongue-in-cheek moment in this volume that I know readers will like. That said, I think the anime had a bit more fun playing around with this scene, so make sure you watch the show so you don't miss out!

Finally, My Next Life as a Villainess Vol. 5 concludes with another surprising twist. Isn't that always her luck? At least this time none of her friends got kidnapped, so that's something, right?
