My Next Life as a Villainess Season 2 Synopsis
Crunchyroll’s synopsis for the first season describes the anime as the following:
Wealthy heiress Catarina Claes is hit in the head with a rock and recovers the memories of her past life. It turns out the world she lives in is the world of the game Fortune Lover, an otome game she was obsessed with in her past life… but she’s been cast as the villain character who tries to foil the protagonist’s romances! The best ending the game has for Catarina is exile, and the worst, death! She’ll have to find a way to avoid triggering the flags of doom, and make her own happy future! The misunderstanding-based screwball love comedy now begins!
Season 1 began airing in April
The first season of My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! began airing on April 4, 2020. Crunchyroll also began streaming the anime as it was airing in Japan. The English dub premiered in May and new dubbed episodes are airing every Saturday via Crunchyroll. The dub cast was able to record remotely due to COVID-19.
Light novels and manga behind the anime
J-Novel Club is digitally publishing the original light novels by Hidaka and Yamaguchi. Yamaguchi started the series by posting it on Shōsetsuka ni Narō in 2014 before a publishing company picked it up.
In August 2015, Ichijinsha, a Japanese publishing company that focuses on manga-related publications, started publishing the novels with Nami Hidaka’s illustrations. Since then, Hidaka has been providing art for the manga that is currently ongoing.
