The Villainess Stans the Heroes Manga Ends in 6th Volume

Retailers are listing the sixth compiled book volume of Tsubasa Takamatsu's The Villainess Stans the Heroes, the manga adaptation of Yamori Mitikusa and Kaoru Harugano's Akuyaku Reijō wa Kyō mo Kirei ni Anyaku suru light novel series, as the final volume. The volume will ship on August 8.

Yen Press is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:

What's a girl to do when she's reincarnated into a game full of her biases, and as the antagonist to boot? Simple—do whatever it takes to make them shine, of course! When I'm reborn into the body of the villainess Eldia, I'm determined to play my role to perfection for the loves of my life…but how was I supposed to know that one impulsive mistake I made years ago would bring such drastic changes to the story!?

Takamatsu launched the manga in Square Enix's Gangan Online magazine in February 2021. Square Enix shipped the manga's fifth volume in November 2024.

Mitikusa serialized the original story in the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website from May 2020 to January 2023. Kadokawa released the first print volume with illustrations by Kaoru Harugano in November 2020, and the second volume shipped in May 2021.
