Though I May Be a Villainess, I'll Show You I Can Obtain Happiness! - Vol. 9 Ch. 4 - The Villainous Noblewoman's Homeroom Teacher

[yoshiii]

This is one of my favorite chapters. Wish it can get serialized! I would love to see their adventure together

And also, reincarnated heroine isn't evil for once!

 

[Lucky]

If this ever got serialized I would hope the ending of high school is the first arc, and the second arc is the teacher teaching the villainess not to want to fuck him and find her own happiness.

 

[Cynic]

I'd be interested in the exact reasons people are icky about the potential relationships. People I know are massive fans of Flowery Path of Evil and at least the age gap there is much bigger so... Surely it can't be that, right?

 

[TheGodEmperor]

This premise needs to be fleshed out in a full story with better pacing and character interactions. So great.

 

[Psychronia]

This was a really good one. "What if the adults weren't useless?"
Give me an Otome game where I can run around ensuring a good ending for everyone.

The teacher is lovable in that romcom protagonist kind of way. He's very clumsy, but earnest and pushes through for the sake of his precious students.
The romance was kinda obligatory, but no better way to force it through than by making her a yandere.

In an expanded series, I'd also definitely want the reincarnated Heroine and him to team up and work together as we go through an arc for every character while the villainess is the slow burn star focus the entire way through.

I'd be interested in the exact reasons people are icky about the potential relationships. People I know are massive fans of Flowery Path of Evil and at least the age gap there is much bigger so... Surely it can't be that, right?

For me, what it boils down to is:

In Flowery Path of Evil, the whole point of the story is that this beautiful young woman is unapologetically attracted to a fat, bald old man. That in itself is the "twist" that story takes on the villainess formula. The story cannot exist without this premise and the reader goes into it with their expectations set accordingly.

Meanwhile, in this story, the romance is just shoehorned in so the story can  have a romance. It's totally erroneous, and taking it out wouldn't change the fundamental idea the story is based on, and I would even argue it contradicts the premise this one-shot is built around, which is "what if there was actually a responsible adult around" by tacking this on at the last second and ruining the healthy bond the teacher had actually built with his students.

TLR The difference is in expectation.

 

[Angelnickl]

This one has a lot going for it, even though rushed I can see full arcs being for saving everyone. Or just continuing from this point with two isekaied people trying to stop future installment problems like a certain other villainess manga.

 

[Kynnath]

The heroine seems shocked at this, but that might either be acting or her not intending the dodgeball to hit him, just pass between them.

Not sure what you mean. She couldn't have planned for that dodgeball. Sensei was between her and Rose, and the dodgeball came from the side. I think that was just a gag, the teacher being "accident prone". Even when he's standing still, accidents find him.

Not a big fan of the teacher-student romance being sprung on us outta nowhere at the end

Meanwhile, in this story, the romance is just shoehorned in so the story can  have a romance.

Not really a surprise development. Obsessive characters never "give up" their obsessions, they just redirect them. It is a common trope (and not that uncommon in reality) for students to have crushes on their teachers. So if you put an obsessive student with a caring teacher that is reaching out to them when no one else is, it is basically telegraphing that the student is going to have a crush on the teacher by the end.

It's not really "romance" because the teacher is not falling for her in return, it's played more as a joke. The teacher solved one problem only to be saddled with an even bigger one at the end.

How did they only find out they were both isekai'd at the end?

They were both working towards the same goal, but from different angles. They would have chalked up changes in the behavior of other characters to their own efforts, not to a second reincarnator. We only see Roine and Sensei interact a couple of times, so maybe that's why they didn't notice until they bring up modern game slang at the end, which makes it all click.

 

[kaorihikari]

This one is probably the best one in the volume. Played the usual tropes straight and had good execution. Only weird thing is why, at the end, the prince went ahead with the "condemnation event" despite Rose giving up on him already. He even accused her of mistreating Roine, even though the teacher prevented the bullying from ever starting and they were friends by the end.

Because as the MC said, "if left alone, the prince will become a tyrant king."

From what we read so far, the prince have a very harsh view of people and couldn't trust anyone of them. He only grown to trust people when the Heroine choose his route.

While it's not really shown, the heroine in this chap/ver seems to lean toward friendship/reverse harem ending than just the prince route (since Sensei also help the other Love Interest, so the romance thay should happen with heroine might not have taken place).

The prince hoped his fiancee could be an equal to him, someone he can trust, but the Villainess broke that trust by being obssessive of him. After that, he have unchanging view that she's an obssessive woman with foul personality and doesn't trust what anyone says when she changed. They also "doesn't communicate at all". So the prince never have a chance nor want to know her.

That's why on the last page, everyone is berating him and talk him out of his preconception of the villainess.

 

[Scrabbleman]

It's good that the Prince isn't evil but rather, just flawed. He broke up with the Villainess but there's no exile or anything; just a normal break-up. And although he overreacted with the way she responded, it makes sense with what he knew of her. The problem is that they didn't communicate, so he had this frozen-in-time view of her as an obsessive yandere (which is accurate but she's also more that that).

Had they talked, maybe she could've turned out better. But he gave up before he even tried.

good stuff good stuff keep em comin

The reincarnated heroine is a nice twists too, finally a reincarnated heroine who's not a bully or a harem-router

It's a shame you don't see it more; feel like tinkering with the heroine's settings is a super easy way to come up with a novel concept for a villainess story.

Especially if you make it like this chapter where bad things happen in the OG game if the heroine doesn't conquer this or that character.

I know! at this point the whole "white lotus OG female lead who was pretending to be kind/is an malevolent spirit all along" trope is so over done. Show me something new! Have her be a nice reincarnator, have her be kind, have her be tomboyish hell, HAVE HER BE SCARED SHITLESS OF A OTOME WORLD SHE'D NEVER PLAYED BEFORE?!
I'm not saying she can't be a villain or antagonist, people with conflict of interest fight all the time, sometimes with good and bad resolution. But when the villain is constantly petty and gets undermined because they're too stupid to pose as a real challenge, it lowers the stakes and interest.
I crave a day where there's a proper protag/antag dynamic that is as good as something like L-era Death Note

 

[BobTheSkrull]

A bit rushed like most of the chapters in this volume, but the art was humorous and the concept was different enough to make it fun.

 

[xXPenisXx]

Wow, this story was truly pissed away on a one shot in an anthology. I've seen so many long, serialized villainess manga with thinner plots and less rounded characters.

 

[DlolFace]

Oh wow, i feel like i just sipped a strong and refreshing alcohol. This one is good

 

[IrregularPerson]

HE speedrun! I love the premise and need a longer version. I also need to see the sewer adventure!
I also also love the lobotomy scars(?) on his head, reminds me of my trauma with JJK, but it truly expresses his touch-in-the-head concern for others. I wonder if in this life, reservation on his intrusive thoughts are being suppressed because I'd describe him as impulsive.
I will say, this is a unique addition to the series where while through direct intervention, the villainess's happiness is a byproduct. if it ever gets serialized, I wonder how they'll portray Rose. the amount of reincarnated people and her obsession is the right ratio I hope they'll preserve, or transform henceforth to something magnificent.
Thank you for your continued work on this series~

 

[zokoi19]

the art is good, the premise is fun, the characters are unique and seems interesting enough (from the art), and having both the MC and the teacher being reincarnated and being DENSE as hell is great. This would definitely sell if it gets serialized!

thanks for the chapter guys!!
