私の推しは悪役令嬢。01 [Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou., Vol. 01] by いのり。, 青乃下

3.0

3.5/5

I love lgbt+, especially girls love manga. And I also really like Isekai, so this was kind of a no brainer.

The artwork is truly beautiful, and the story is pretty funny. The main character gets reborn into her favourite dating game, but instead of wanting to date the male options the game offers, she is interested in the antagonist of the game - the romantic rival.

My problem with this manga is that it's fairly problematic at times. The main character behaves pretty predatory towards the romantic rival girl and it's honestly disappointing. There's lots of manga series that suffer from this, and i find it really disturbing a lot of times, especially since it's pretty common for male main characters to behave like that. I wished that this girls love manga wouldn't suffer from this, especially since there is this "predatory lesbian" stereotype that this manga entertains, sadly.

I personally liked the story, I thought many of the jokes and references to gaming were pretty funny and I think that if you're aware of the problematic traits of this manga you can still enjoy it, but you should be mindful about it.

I will continue reading the series, especially since it's not that long, and I hope that it gets better as the story progresses.
