I am the Villainess, So I am Taming the Final Boss launches in October 2022

Publisher Kadokawa has opened the official website for the anime "I am the Villainess, So I am Taming the Final Boss" (Akuyaku Reijou nanode Last Boss wo Kattemimashita). The first trailer is already available on the website, and the main character Seiu as well as the creative team working on the adaptation have been revealed. The series is being produced to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Beans Bunko and is set to air starting in October.



Based on the novel of the same name by Sarasa Nagase, it follows Irene Lauren Dortlisch, a villainous daughter who has been reborn in the world of an otome game.

The protagonist Irene is voiced by Takahashi Riyo. Yuichiro Umehara plays Claude Jeanne Elmair, the first prince of the Elmair Empire and the Demon King, while Toshiki Masuda plays Cedric Jeanne Elmair, Irene's former fiancé.

Yen Press has licensed both the novels and the manga adaptation, describing the story as follows:

When her engagement to the prince is abruptly called off, details from the former life of the young noblewoman Aileen come flooding back, helping her realize she's living in the world of one of her favorite otome games—as the heroine's greatest rival! However, her memories have more holes than bad fan-fiction... and the only certainty is that her death is all but guaranteed if she doesn't act fast. With no hope in the hero/main love interest, why not see what the final boss has to say?
