After Being hit by a car our protagonist wakes up as Katarina Claes, a young noble girl. She soon realizes that she is in the world of her favorite Otome game, Fortune Lover. However, rather than being reborn as the hero she is born as the villainess who in almost every scenario either dies or is cast out. So with her previous knowledge of Fortune Lover, Katarina does everything she can to make sure that her bad ending is prevented.
I really liked this one. Most people don't like a main character who is super dense in harem anime. However, I think it works pretty well in My Next Life as a Villainess. There are a lot of reasons for this. first despite being in an Otome Game Katarina isn't trying to pursue anyone. She plays the best friend role better. The kind of friend you would feel confident saying anything to. Also while it is obvious that everyone has feelings for her, nobody tries to do anything physical to her, like holding hands or kissing. Also while there is some arguing, all the characters seem to get along. This point in particular has always made harem anime enjoyable for me. When the characters in a harem fight the genre loses its charm. Also My Next Life as a Villainess has a mixed harem. Having both boys and girls in a harem makes it feel more like a friend group than a romance. The strange thing is rather than ending up with one of the boys, I kind of want Katarina to end up with Mary or Sophia. The main reason being is because they hold common interests and you can tell they would be best friends forever. In other words their love seems more pure than if she ended up with Geordo or Keith. The dress is appropriate for the most part, however Mary does wear a dress that exposes the top of her chest. The language is also clean for the most part. I think that I only heard swearing two or three times.
