Oddbean new post about login | logout @ae1a0ada Taking your recommendation. I'm in Love with the Villainess seems like a different take on the concept in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom, but it is indeed fun. I hope the F/F match-up is real, not frivolous. Thanks! The only problem is that it just started on Crunchyroll, which means I have to wait a week between episodes. 😢
@6e9427cf The F/F is not frivolous. That was a worry all the fans had. They have set a very clear course that the out lesbian themes of the book are going to be honored. If they change course, their fans WILL tar and feather them. Inori-sensei is the darling of the queer yuri fandom. This is one LN/Manga/Anima that was not driven by Shonen demographics. You will not be disappointed.
@ae1a0ada Yay! It's definitely in the watchlist now. I recently finished watching /Ayakashi Triangle/, which also had interesting gender themes and innuendo satire (you'll see if you watch it). In the end what could have been delightful F/F acceptance, where the love of person inside mattered far more than the out, it copped out. The story was so compelling and humorous and so strongly spoke about friendship despite what's outside, that I still recommend it.
