  1. Ohhh Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter is one of the first series with the while reborn into Otome villainess I ever saw, it’s a pretty popular series, surprised to see it come out now, the fan translations also got finished a little while ago if I remember right …. Hope they’re not taken down lol, that’s years of efforts.

    Reborn as a space meecenary I’ve heard is pure trash, good type of trash lol, cool.

    I love monster girls sooooo lol.

    Hello world seems pretty interesting, don’t remember any movie like that though.

  2. I’ll definitely at least read the first volume of Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter. What I’ve read of the manga was decent, although much lighter on the “heroine knows how the original otome went” knowledge than I expected.
