I'm in Love with the Villainess - Ch. 55 - True Feelings

[Kaldrak]

Gaaah! So...damn...close!!!

 

[Osha]

God DAMNIT, so close !

No kiss but I'll take the impossible to misinterpret confession from Clair and call it a win. Thanks for translating.

I can understand Rae’s hesitance in taking that last step, given what that last secret is. It’s difficult to feel worthy of someone‘s feelings when you keep something like that from them.

 

[tranhere]

Nooooo so close

 

[serialsly]

Ok, I understand frustration regarding kiss but she confessed to her - dere mode now officially active. Let's celebrate🎊

Yeah and she's keeping major secrets, not small little things. Having her crush press her like that also likely flustered her too. She's a bit of a glass cannon.

C'mon Rae. Embrace the gay.

With the lies and with just being in an actual relationship

It’s been said before that her goofy flirty behavior is a self-defense mechanism. She can’t be rejected if her feelings aren’t viewed as serious. But now they are serious and they are being treated as such. This is an actual relationship that she is being invited into and The thought of that is terrifying.

It's also, you know, she's an adult (technically) and smashing a teenager is still a bit weird

 

[Xelda]

Oh no, she's a dumbass MC O_O

lol. that never seems to bother isekai protagonists

What a blessed morning!! I see the manga adds nice things the LN doesn't have...go Claire! kudos for Rae for slowing down though, I hope the manga will continue all the way through the novel, I'm reading volume 4 now and it's super gay and interesting!!

THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD

It did belatedly bother Yvonne in Please Bully Me. Was a tonal hiccup for me, she hadn't cared before, and Yvonne's "past life" is a lot less prominent than Rae's. It's not obvious Yvonne even got past high school. (Conversely, I don't recall Rae ever caring about the mental age gap.)

Skipped chapter 54?

 

[SierraComix132]

Where in the LN are we? I want to start from here

Sort of a complicated question. You'd best start further back. Aonoshimo has changed a lot- None of the past few chapters were in LN2. Most notably, LN2 had:

Spoiler: Late LN2

a culminating first kiss. Claire finally opened up for the first time and gave Rae her first and final kiss right before surrendering herself for execution.

As you might've guessed, this chapter was absolutely not in the LNs. Aono knows the superfans read the books and she's just messing with us at this point

To answer your question though, you can probably start either at the end of LN2's "Yu's Secret" or of "The Palace" and either way you'll be alright. I would recommend the former though because a bit was changed in the latter.

Ah I didn't catch that! Will fix, tysm.

Claire is the more mature one

Skipped chapter 54?

Yes. Our translator (I call them T-san) decided to do 55 first, so I took that golden opportunity and knocked out the chapter day-of. I'll be working on 54 as my main focus for the next half-month.

Ohh?? Way to go Claire! I'm enjoying these little changes the manga makes from the novels

 

[TetraSky]

Got denied our long awaited Yuri... and for what ? Gosh this girl...

argh, last panel is painful
