Reiko is such a loveable dork.

 

[RolandMayfield]

Thanks for the chapter!

It still funny to me that of all the external students, Reiko that lived in poverty, is the one that people think is snobish.

 

[pandatime]

She was quickl to understand which already makes her better than most other other reincarnated in these villians stories.

Taking part of Yuria's delusions was rlly nice of her and I especially enjoy how she admitted that she wouldn't have done it if the circumstances were different. Empathetic but still smart!! Rlly good character.

Also really enjoy how she could take on the insults freely bc she's used to verbal mistreatment but wouldn't permit it towards others. God. She's so real.

It probably has to do with how she appears in the manga and novel covers, she's a perfect description of a yamato nadeshiko, aka the perfect ideal japanese woman physically, a physical attribute commonly associated with highborn or noble japanese women, while reiko actually is the perfect aspiration of what the term is supposed to mean (kind, caring, not selfish), it was also used alot for nemesis's in otome games in the past if i remember right, especially yandere type villainesses or "childhood friend" archetypes.

To put it another way, reiko has a world class beauty by the japanese standards with a noble air about her, typically associated with both loving females characters, to haughty female characters, to rich b***h characters in manga, basically reiko fits the classical "villainess mold" commonly associated with certain types of shoujo stories especially older ones. a "miss perfect" if you will, for anyone who doesn't know her at least.

I'm kind of lost here. Did the WN have this development?

While I’m glad Reiko finally managed to get her off her back, I don’t think she should continue playing into her delusions indefinitely.

Her grandmother was elderly and suffering from a condition that could’t be cured, so she wanted to help ease the remainder of her life and burden of caring for her until her death. Yuria on the other hand is a young girl who’s been living in her own fantasy world about school since childhood. People may tolerate it so now or laugh it off as quirky, but that won’t be the case after she graduates. Her delusions likely don’t extend that far because of the structure of otome games, and they don’t teach her how to act in society. Her delusions at that point are a hindrance, therefore they need to seriously consider how to help her move past it all.

I'm really curious what happened in the past

This manga follows the WN very closely. So yes.

The only thing I remember getting removed in the last couple chapters was that in the WN it mentions that Fukis plan was to prostitute herself to the occupying American forces, but yeah, it's one of the most faithful adaptions I've seen

That's... actually a pretty healthy attitude to have about people suffering from delusions, if imperfect. The general best advice is not to deny someones reality- mind, in the case of someone who doesn't have dementia, re-enforcing it isn't great either. In a case like that, not just telling them "um thats not true" is good, mind. But you don't go "yes you're right about X". Usually what's emphasized is finding steps to help someone feel safe. If someone feels/sees bugs crawling on themselves, ask if borrowing your jacket to wrap their bare skin up could help. That kinda thing.

That being said, for a teen girl w/o any particular training, who isn't directly responsible for the well being of our "isekai" gal, I think she handled it very well! Using her experience with her grandmas dementia is very smart and kind of her, imo.

Also for why everyone else thinks she's rude... I feel like her desire Not to Cause Trouble combines really badly with the way it's indicated she speaks in japanese. Probably comes off as 'putting on airs'.

tbh even in america I think if your group partner said "My Good Fellow Student, I mind not what we procure for our ardent Task" you might wind up not super popular.

The idea that most villainess stories are just about people with delusions is lowkey hilarious

 

[Saon]

Thank you for translations! Really enjoy the many topics the manga manages to touch in such a short span of chapters.

 

[saifors]

I'm still not sure if Yuria's delusions are really delusions, like is the story just being meta as a nod to it loosely fitting in the extended/greater extension of the Otome Villainess WN template or is it actually really the case and will lead into future story development?

The Grandmother was the original villainess from that Otome game (the one the FMC is supposed to be), wasn't she.
