The time has come for determining our first piece of media that we’ll be checking out together!
After reviewing the two polls I posted, It looks like we’ll be starting off with 💙I’m In Love with the Villainess 💜
I was very excited to see the interest as I genuinely think it’s a fantastic start for anyone to take a look at— whether you’re completely new to the Japanese side of the yuri genre, or if you’re already familiar with perhaps the manga or anime that exists for this story!
Yes, It’s actually something I enjoyed first as an anime and it was so refreshing given the fact that genuine LGBT+ identities are acknowledged with the main protagonist being a canonical lesbian.
Here’s the summary!
In this hilarious romantic comedy, a reincarnated gamer pursues her villainous lady love at a fantasy girl's academy!
Ordinary office worker Oohashi Rei wakes up in the body of the protagonist of her favorite otome game, Revolution. To her delight, the first person to greet her is also her favorite character, Claire Francois–the main antagonist of the story! Now, Rei is determined to romance Claire instead of the game’s male leads. But how will her villainous lady love react to this new courtship?!
This light novel is 280 pages at present there’s a total of 5 volumes! Of course, we’ll only be looking at the first one.
How we’re reading together
Our official start time is between now and the next big club meeting which will occur November 15th at 9am here!
Some things to keep in mind
-
Take things at your own pace! You can start when you’re able to and spread out your sessions however you’d like.
-
We will have our group chat available for the lead up to our next meeting as well as for discussion prior to it as well. If you cannot catch stream, then sharing your thoughts after the fact would be lovely 💜
Bonus Raffle!
On these stream days, I will be doing an art raffle for those of you who participated with our current shared media! The requirements is at least one post with your thoughts over in the substack group chat for I’m In Love with the Villainess.
My focus will be for sapphic OCs and potentially fanart for a yuri ship! The art is likely to appear within a Youtube video as well for the times I yap about the genre.
There’s something else too
I have a PROMPT for the artists out there who’d like to have their art featured on stream & in a future post! I’ll be making a singular art badge for anyone who completes it!
Favorite Flowers
The art in question should feature your sapphic OCs, ships, or fanart of media you like! As usual, keep it SFW with a heads up for any content warnings for when I share on stream.
What comes After?
After this month concludes there will be another poll for the next thing we’ll be checking out in December! This will extend to anime, manga, light novels, and other books that seem like a good fit! To get a jump start, go ahead and suggest your own recommendations here that I’ll check out in addition to a list I’ve been building as well too.
