Manga follows otome gamer reborn into game as villain

Seven Seas Entertainment announced on Friday that it has licensed Satoru Yamaguchi and Nami Hidaka's My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! ( Otome Game no Hametsu Flag Shika Nai Akuyaku Reijō ni Tensei Shiteshimatta... ) manga. The first volume is slated for print and digital release on July 30, 2019.

Seven Seas describes the story:

At the age of eight, Katarina, a girl of noble birth in another world, has an accident that unlocks her memories–of playing an otome game that's exactly like the life she's living now. There's one problem: she realizes that she's playing the role of the villainess, and only bad endings await her! What will it take for her to “break the game” and live a happy life?

Satoru Yamaguchi began the original novel series on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō! website in July 2014, and Ichijinsha began publishing the novels with illustrations by Hidaka in August 2015. The sixth volume shipped on March 20 and the seventh volume is slated for October 20.

Hidaka also provides the art for the ongoing manga, which began in Ichijinsha's Comic Zero Sum magazine in August 2017. The first volume shipped on March 34 and the second volume is slated for October 25.

Update: J-Novel Club announced its license for the original light novels under the title All Routes Lead to Doom! My Next Life as a Villainess at Otakuthon in August. The company also announced Akira's novelization of the Vocaloid song Echo and Eri Shiduki's Danna-sama no Atama ga Kemono na no wa Dōmo Watashi no Sei Rashii ( Apparently It's My Fault That My Husband's Head Turned Into That of a Beast ) at the same event.
