In the middle of a ball, Scarlet's fiancé, Kyle, suddenly calls off their engagement. She's falsely accused of being a bully and people unfairly call her a "Villainess." The aristocrats and noble families all denounce her. For years, she had to put up with his abuse and idiocy, but she can't take anymore of it! At her wit's end, she asks for one last favor; to give him a good fist in the face. So begins Scarlet's story of revenge against Kyle and his cronies! A fantasy about an elegant yet rebellious fighter, who doesn't let anyone take advantage of her!! (Source: Alpha Manga)

Probably my favorite announcement from the AOF livestream. 👀👍

(The livestream was POORLY done, btw, but this almost made sitting through 4 hours of yapping worth it. 😔)

I understand that most of these works comment on one or another tropes of the female fantasy market. But are themes of abandoned engagements and ruined aristocratic reputations really that common there?

@EcchiGodMamster https://saihito-anime.com/ In such cases, you can always look at the volume covers to explore which characters are particularly emphasized in promoting the title.

I'm looking forward to this, in particular because it will probably be a complete adaptation. We need more of those. Sounds fun!

@Piromysl

yea but the synopsis talks about wanting revenge on a guy and his cronies or w/e... that implies a bunch of dudes :/

So, finally a Villainess Anime, in which MC is an actual villain?

@EcchiGodMamster Her titular wish is quite literally

I read the manga and it was a nice reading.
Simple "Villainess plot" with a badass main character who just punch when she have some problem ^^ (no time loop or isekai)
