Lady Rose Just Wants to Be a Commoner! Vol. 1

Lady Rose Just Wants to Be a Commoner! Vol. 1 story by Yura Kiyose, art by Kooriame and translation by Esther Sun

Felicia Schwarise just wants to be commoner Fil instead of the heroine of the otome game visual novel, Savior of Nations: Lady Rose. But the love interests keep on popping up in her new life. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher 

‘Tis not a reincarnated villainess story…but a reincarnated heroine which is a twist on the usual otome game reincarnation isekai trope. And a heroine who would rather get the merry bad ending at that. The first volume is an obligatory introduction of the male characters confirming the reverse harem setup. There’s the older brother type, the puppy dog archetype, the one with the most dangerous love route. and the one who lives for entertainment. Methinks there’s more to the pompous prince than meets the eye but we have yet to meet him. 

Now that the reverse harem has been introduced, it makes one to be impatient for the story to unravel. Especially with the breadcrumbs that were left here and there. And it all seems to point to something Fil had done in the past. The manga has yet to grow on me but it’s enough to make me look forward to the next volume. And speaking of breadcrumbs, this is also a baking manga. Fil just wants to spend her idyllic days as a commoner making bread. Feel free to share your opinions in the comments section below.
