Sadly it gets axed as soon as the plot starts. Apparently the LN is still going if you care to read that.

Now for the short and sweet review for a short and sweet manga.

Its a fluffy comedy/reincarnation/isekai/villainess manga that follows a overpowered young girl(6). That is all you need to know if you want to read it or not. There are dozens of manga in the specific combination of genres that do essentially the same thing and just like them it lives and dies on whether or not you enjoy the characters. In this case both Isabella and Ursch, our two main leads, ... are quite novel. Isabella, being the one we follow, there isn't anything "new" but her blunt way of dealing with things is refreshing. Often when you have OP MC there inaction is what moves the plot. Either due to some convoluted set of events that leads them to not being there or intentionally choosing to not use their abilities due to some plot contrivances. Isabella more or less acts regardless of consequences because she knows she can. As for Ursch, he's a bit darker of a character than you would expect for a six-year-old. I won't say much but he is probably the most refreshing part of the manga.

Now, just like the manga ending abruptly, go read it.

This one is awesome. An isekai'ed person is reborn as a villainess in a dating sim. But instead of wanting to build her harem or superficially going after whoever she was paired off with in the game or even just using her knowledge of events to come she decides to stay out of that whole sordid affair and is uninterested in it. In her previous life she was obsessed over the merchant mascot guy who was a non datable side character. Now she meets him in real life and proposes because she liked what she saw of him in the game (not much). Both as ... a way to finally get to know more about her favourite character and to avoid the whole villainess route. This would imply it should be a shallow romance story based on love at first sight or something dumb like that but it's actually far from that. What I love is that they are both honest in that they don't know each other well yet and that love is something that should be worked on and cherished and that relationships are a two-sided effort. They act as an actual couple should. Respect each other, listen to each other, trust each other. They show each other their bad sides and accept what they have been shown. Help each other even if they don't particularly agree with what the other is doing and let each other make personal choices without trying to influence them. They don't try to change each other and instead just enjoy learning more about each other. Healthy relationship (so far) and I am here for it. She is also smart in that she didn't just selfishly demand a relationship without thinking of consequences. Instead she laid out all the reasons why it could be good to her parents, his parents, and to him. Customizing her dealings with people depending on who she is talking to instead of treating everyone with same, making her feel a lot more like real person rather then a 2 dimensional character. And after it was allowed that he would be her fiance, she started thinking in long term. How can she develop and become someone who would be a good match for the kind of lifestyle he will live. What would she herself be good at and like to do? And he started thinking in similar terms. They didn't hesitate to start planning a life together rather than pursuing things just because they feel like it at the moment, and are thinking long term about their lives. I love it.

I have a soft spot for manga about being reincarnated as a villainess and this manga is definitely unique among them. This manga stars our young nobel who in her past life loved the background character in an otome game. So of course when she is reincarnated into that world she makes sure to find him and propose.
The story here is definitely the best part. It is unique, fresh and most importantly, executed well. The characters also become fall in love and become engaged and act in ways befitting that. For instance, our two leads trust and believe in one another enough that it ... is believable that they could be in love and marry. This sort of character building and writing caries this manga and is what makes it truly enjoyable.
This manga is only brought down by it's art, which is not a huge obstacle in this type of manga. there is nothing blatantly wrong with it and that is enough for a manga where it is not the focus. The focus here is on the story and it does that well enough.
This manga is enjoyable and is worth reading if you have the time. It is not the best out there but it is unique enough and has good enough writing that I think you will find it enjoyable. I recommend this but not strongly. The main issue here is that although it is fairly good and enjoyable, it is not great or fantastic. There is nothing here give it more thought and I think that is fine. It is a light read that I think you will get enough enjoyment out of it that it would be worth your time to pick it up.
