But when it looks like that dark history is going to be uncovered by her mother, Konoha panics and dies in a traffic accident! Opening her eyes, she finds that she's been reincarnated into the world of her own dark history as Iana Magnolia, the worst villainess of her own creation!
Tōka launched the manga in Hakusensha's LaLa magazine in August 2018. Hakusensha released the 16th volume on May 2. The manga has more than 1.7 million copies in circulation, including digital copies sold.
