Reirin Kou is the most popular maiden in the Inner Court. She is so graceful that people have started calling her the Butterfly. On the flip side, Keigetsu Shu is the most hated maiden in the Inner Court. People have even compared her to a sewer rat. One night, as a comet passes by, Keigetsu’s jealousy reaches its peak, causing her to push Reirin over the edge of a tower. When Reirin wakes up, she finds herself inside a jail cell. Her head court lady, Tousetsu, comes to meet her and is unbelievably angry. She begins talking about how wrong it was to push Reirin. That’s when Reirin looks into a puddle and realizes that she is now in Keigetsu’s body.
Tousetsu then hands her a ball of poison and tells her that it is a gift from Reirin, giving her the option to commit suicide. If she refuses, she will have to participate in the Lion’s Judgment. If the lion eats her when she enters the cage, she is guilty. If the lion doesn’t eat her, then she is innocent. Will Reirin be able to convince everyone of what really happened before it’s too late?
Though I Am an Inept Villainess was really good. I had read part of the manga before the anime was released, but I was still surprised by how well they adapted it. There aren’t many anime that have a similar feel to The Apothecary Diaries, so it was exciting to see a story take place in a similar setting. All of the characters are fun to watch, the story flows really well, and the music supports it perfectly. The entire anime is wholesome. There are no lewd scenes and no swearing. I would definitely suggest giving it a try.
