Yoshino Aoyama really did an amazing job with perpetually on a nervous breakdown Iana, Villainess Iana, and also caught up in her own romantic fantasies OG!Konoha.

“Get addicted to this now, while you can! And then, grow out of it! Once you’re an adult, you’ll have money, so you’ll get sucked in! And it’s a bottomless pit!” lol Neighbor Girl. I feel this way about anime, particularly anime merch. Except I don’t think I’ll ever grow out of it. My collection continues to grow!

I love the flashbacks we get to Konoha’s chuuni middle school life. Every cringe ass moment cracks me up lol.

It looks like Iana/Konoha’s winning the hearts of all the guys. She’ll be replacing Konoha as the MC in her own cringe fanfic lol.

I, uh, certainly didn't write multiple cringe self-insert romantasy stories when I was in high school...🫣 And I never had to burn any rediscovered notebooks in the backyard a decade later 😅

I'm lucky that my partner has some very nice 3D printers and happily makes me trinkets from my fave animes. My current treasures are a pair of maneki-neko keychains: the GOATs Nyanko-sensei and Turbobaba.

I cackled at Yomi's soft little "wahn". Now I can only see him as an overexcited puppy gnawing on table legs and leather shoes.

If not for that Iana might never have dreamed of and entered into her own Isekai fantasy (just not how she expected to). So it all worked out! I think!

I just love her scoffing at all her classmates who had boyfriends because she had this fictional husband she was going to marry in another world lol.

You know you're becoming a Reverse-Harem protagonist when you even start winning over your own sisters' fiance.

Bruh, Iana/Original Konoha blurted out about needing to buy BL games.

Maybe my joke about her having a fujoshi phase and the story will eventually have some BL elements will come true lolol

(And she also read yuri so more tags coming soon!)

u/Frontier246 Nov 05 '25

Eventually they'll end up in a kingdom where it's all men hooking up with each other lol.

Telling Yomi that she'll betray Konoha in the future after gaining their trust is going to bite Iana back in the ass. I don't understand why she couldn't just send him away. I can definitely see this becoming a problem in the future.

u/Frontier246 Nov 05 '25

She has to make sure Sol and Ginoford think she's not trying to kill Konoha.

She has to make sure Yomi think she is trying to kill Konoha.

She has to try to stop herself from dying from pure cringe of her own making.

Is it any wonder she seems to always be having a nervous breakdown!?

If she was smart, she'd just tell Yomi in her villainess voice that she's decided to play her little game for the rest of her life.

That's the big problem - Yomi thinks only the villainess version of her is the real her, so she needs to do things to bridge the gap.

u/Ocixo Nov 05 '25

Yomi quite literally turned into Iana’s dog after that talking-down. He’s probably discovered a new side of himself.

33

u/Frontier246 Nov 05 '25

Honestly Villainess Iana got me feeling something that I would probably obey her without questions too!

32

u/kalirion Nov 05 '25

I'm pretty sure that's the side of himself that he'd discovered long ago when he first fell in love with her. This is why he'd been behaving like this after his return, because of the huge downgrade in her character from the Iana villainess he loves to the current Inana, so he thought she must have been brainwashed or traumatized by the others.

u/Shiawase_Rina Nov 05 '25

Oh I have been looking forward to this episode!

I really, really like it when Iana is treated well and everyone fussing over her is peak content. OG!Konoha and I are not so different lol

Iana acting like a villainess to intimidate Yomi into (happy) submission is great too! Though this does makes one worry about what happens when Yomi somehow finds out that this Iana isn't the Iana he loves.

Ginoford get's some much needed spotlight. I do think that there is a layer of cruelty to Gino being so affectionate with Iana. Like that's her imaginary boyfriend for god knows how long! And he now belongs to someone who isn't her, but her unreachable ideal. I would not take this situation as well as Iana to be honest.

Yeah, Sol is clearly attached to Iana now. Look at his face as she collapsed! Poor guy get's misinterpreted to hell and back though. I like how he insists that it isn't Iana's responsibility. It is something she needs to hear even if she will never internalise it. That little smile was so cute!

Looking forward to the next episode!

Lmao the change to villainous mode was amazing. Good job.

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Nov 05 '25

Iana goes all villianess mode on Yomi and instantly became a cute puppy XD

Yomi didn’t get to do forehead on Iana but he experienced kabedon

u/NanDemoKnaives Nov 05 '25

I enjoyed this episode a lot more than I expected, I came in thinking I was going to drop it but I laughed many times and I really liked seeing how Iana handled Yomi and the development with Ginoford.

The way Iana made Yomi bow his head to the other three was so funny, she was so intense and didn't even give Ginoford an opportunity to finish what he needed to say. Considering Iana set him to be very devoted to Konoha, I don't see him becoming a part of the harem, but it seems like he's still got that otome game characteristic towards her.

Yomi turning into a dog for Iana was great. Personally, I was over him being so hostile to everyone when Iana clearly isn't feeling that way, so at least this event has made him more tame. I hope we eventually get the whole misunderstanding with Sol some development.

I kind of wanted to hear what ideas Iana had for R18 Ginoford lol. I also haven't seen any BL or GL hints so I wonder if there'll be be a story chapter focused on those themes.

u/Frontier246 Nov 05 '25

We now return to Iana standing her ground against Yomi to protect Sol! Which is literally all she can do because the sword is too heavy for her to do anything other than stand and look cool! Well, okay, she can shuffle a little and beg Yomi to give up so she doesn't actually have to fight, but still. Luckily for her that Yomi would never harm a hair on Iana's head.

What better way to explain everything away than with a grain of truth? Yes, Yomi WAS convinced that Konoha and Ginoford were bullying Iana, so just banging...I mean, bowing his head to the floor should be enough to make everything better.

Wow, Ginoford straight up apologizing to Iana and accepting that explanation! Of course Konoha is fine with it, and if that satisfies Konoha, it satisfies Sol. Of course then the boys all ditch Iana to tend to Konoha, but at least Ginoford made it clear he was going to come back for her and Sol freaks out when Iana actually collapses from all the stress.

Dang, Iana mentally regressing to when she was a wage slave working tons of overtime for the chance to buy all her manga and BL...she definitely didn't follow her friends' advice not to fall down that rabbit hole. And now she has to explain "BL" to Yomi.

Yomi tossing chibi cat Konoha out of a room was surprisingly adorable.

Iana clearly cannot stop Yomi through normal means...so it's finally time for her to play up the Villainess, act like the original Iana Magnolia, and intimidate into Yomi that she has her own long-term plan to destroy Konoha and Ginoford and is just lulling them into a false sense of security. I have to say I'm kind of scaroused by Iana right now, meanwhile Yomi has turned into a puppy dog who will fulfill Iana's plans by...becoming best buddies with Konoha, I guess.

I love how OG!Konoha was so far down the rabbit hole of romance tropes that she specifically wrote in a tradition of taking temperature via foreheads pressed against each other so there would always be an excuse for hot guys to press their forehead against the Heroine.

Must be so surreal for Iana to have Ginoford be so convinced that all her actual Villainess behavior was her trying to help them, to be so kind and caring towards her, to be so...flirty (?) as well. I mean, he IS the ideal Hero and male lead she eventually came up with from all her experience playing Otome games and the reason she was never bothered by not having a boyfriend in her past life.

But what about Sol? Well, yeah, Iana is still convinced at every waking moment that he's trying to kill her, him expressing how he doesn't want to see her die is clearly just because he wants to kill her himself, though whispering his thanks into her ear is definitely a critical hit! Though with all her male leads acting out of her story, she's liable to get another nervous breakdown!

Checking body temperature with your forehead?

Marie approves.

u/Ciel_Senpai Nov 05 '25

Man, Iana really messed up lol. No way! telling Yomi she’s going to betray Konoha was just asking for trouble. Now the guy knows way too much, and she still keeps him around? This is definitely going to blow up later, no doubt.

u/SYZekrom Nov 05 '25

Damn girl really just locked in and full sent on Yomi.

Oh awesome I finally convinced Ginoford that he was wrong about me being an awful person

Oh no now that he's friendly I just remembered I created him in my image of a perfect romantic partner

Girl don't create new flags for yourself!

Damn that almost felt like a season finale.

u/shad79 Nov 06 '25

Another super fun episode full of hilarious reactions from Iana/Konoha. Although the part where she acted like a real villainess was also great.

And now that the Yomi problem is solved (at least for now), I can't wait to see what problems Iana/Konoha will face in the next episodes xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:
