So far, I absolutely love this series! I know that some people might find it a tad cliché or mushy, but what is there to expect? It is literally classified as Shoujo.
Personally, I think that all the characters are super lovable and relatable, with an engaging storyline and an interesting spin on the whole "good" and "bad" that most Shoujo-themed platforms tend to overlook. That's not to mention the amazing art style and the general amusement I get each time I read these!

Like I said, the way that 《Akuyaku Reijou no Tsuihougo!: Kyoukai Kaikaku Gohan de Yuuyuu Sister-gurashi》 subverts my expectations, and yet ... sticks to basic anime tropes gives it an original feel, while still retaining an air of familiarity. I like how the main character is forced to take the role of "villain," although she does everything in her power to change her fate; never losing her sweet personality along the way, though.
However, watching the misunderstandings play out can be exasperating at times, but they are usually pretty humorous, at least. Also, the way that Palace life is fairly accurately portrayed, as strict and tiresome, and therefore making being banished a hidden mercy, is a refreshing idea.
Can I also just mention how cute/funny it is when Elizabeth and Leonid are interacting with each other? Like, I'm pretty sure I'm biased towards that kind of personality set, but still! :)

I'm pretty surprised that this manga's rating is only 6.82, given how good it is. Works that fall under the "reincarnated as the villainess" trope tend to have pretty good stories, and this is no exception. The story is pretty original, with a lot of twists, and interestinig characters. Even the original protagonist of the otome game, that usually ends up being the actual villainess, remains a good character here.

Contrary to the impression the synopsis can give, it's not even that much about food. Well, food is obviously an important component of the story, but it doesn't involve about that. And it doesn't involve the ... "avoid the red flags" path either, as many other works in this trope include, since the story takes place after the punishment. It follows the cute romance story between the protagonist, the banished villainess that became a nun in another kingdom, and the head knight of her former kingdom, while also focusing on just the overall life of the nun and her growth, making friends and cooking delicious food for he church (and not only). It also shows how the original story of the otome game doesn't go as it should have, and lots of different things happen.

Overall, it's a manga that lives up to the expectations, with good characters and story. Definitely worth a try!
