My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (Manga) Vol. 9 (My Next Life as a Villainess Side Story: On the Verge of Doom! (Manga), #9)

BACK AT THE BUREAU

Finally, graduation day is here for Katarina and her friends, and no doom flags have been triggered! But to Katarina’s surprise, the story keeps going as she takes a position in the Bureau of Magic, working alongside faces both old and new. Could it be…she’s living through the sequel to Fortune Lover? How will she avoid doom flags for a game she’s never played—especially when Prince Jeord still has no intention of breaking off their engagement?

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.

With graduation on the horizon, Catarina finally feels safe. She successfully avoided all her doom flags, and since she lived beyond the timeline of the game, that means she's safe...right? Oh wait, there's something else going on here.

Review:

Eee! I'm so happy to finally have My Next Life as a Villainess Vol. 9! I feel like I've been waiting forever for the next volume in this series (in reality, it hasn't been all that long – a year at most). I love that this series is continuing. Does this mean we'll (eventually) get a new season for the anime?

So, I was wondering how My Next Life as a Villainess would continue post-graduation, and now I have my answer! The reason is not that dissimilar to how the spin-off game did things. It works—though I can see fans loving or hating it.

Since this volume is essentially kicking off a spin-off without using that terminology, there's a whole new cast of characters to learn (in addition to our favorites). I don't have a good feel for them yet, so I'll have to wait a bit before commenting on them. I hope the following volumes will focus on each of them individually.

I can't wait to see where My Next Life as a Villainess goes! (And yes, I know I need to continue reading the light novels, as that will probably get me beyond this point. I'm working on it).
