The #villainess Subgenre has been huge in Light Novel and Manga (and Manhwa!) circles for years, and finally the wave has crested into Anime as the next big trend -- which asks the question: What exactly is a villainess story, why am I obsessed with them, is there a difference between Japan's and Korea's interpretation of the subgenre, and where should you get started on your villainess journey? This video aims to explore those very questions from My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! all the way to Please Don't Come to the Villainess' Stationery Store and beyond!
If you're looking for a specific section of the video's associated manga/manhwa/anime - check the subtitle track for English (CANADA) and you'll find it the title of the story in place of the caption.
