Otome games are hardly niche anymore, and the Otomeisekai genre is booming now than ever before. I’m in Love with the Villainess is also one of the many Otomeisekai, but this story is pretty special. If you look at the genre as a whole, the tropes are pretty similar, and the protagonist always ends up with the man of her dreams. So why is this anime so special?
Well, for starters, the protagonist is head over heels for the villainess and wants to be with her rather than the three princes who are supposed to be the male leads. I’m in Love with the Villainess Episode 3 will be another chapter in this hilarious romantic comedy.
As the trope usually goes, the villainess and the heroine are supposed to be the arch enemies. Obviously, the villainess loses, and the heroine gets her happily ever after.
But what if you don’t want that to happen? Rae was obsessed with Claire, the antagonist of the Otome game, even when she was a player.
After transmigrating into the game, she was determined to pursue Claire. It is not rare for fans to like the villains more than the actual heroes. It is mostly because the villains can be more relatable and have more substance to their personality overall.
Rae has to cross many hurdles to get Claire to like her, but she is not bothered by that. In this article, we will be talking about the release date of I’m in Love with the Villainess Episode 3, recap the previous episode, and tell our readers where they can watch the anime.
I’m in Love with the Villainess: Episode 2 Recap
In the previous chapter of I’m in Love with the Villainess, Rae is still doing her best to get Claire to like her. Rae was just an average Otome player who found herself in her favorite game. So, who was her favorite character in the game? Was it one of the three princes who are the male leads?
Well, Rae was smitten by the villainess Claire, but now that she is the heroine, she has to be the subject of Claire’s anger. However, Rae is ready to reject the three paths of the game and pursue Claire because she is the one Claire really likes. In the last episode, Rae is still doing her best to become Claire’s maid.
Rae and Claire make a bet, and the winner will be the one who scores higher in the magical assessment. Since Rae is the heroine, the game is supposed to be rigged in her favor, so, of course, she has an overwhelming victory. Claire has no choice but to listen to Rae’s demand, but Rae doesn’t demand anything that would be humiliating for Claire.
As a true fan, Rae just asks Claire to promise that she will never give up no matter what. The request was pretty bizarre because what kind of person asks that from a loser? Claire doesn’t understand what is happening either, but she agrees anyway.
Later, Rae goes to an interview to become Claire’s maid, and she is accepted because of her good reputation and skill. Well, Claire was not happy about it because no one wants the person they hate to be hanging around them. However, Claire has no choice but to accept Rae because she acts like a true heroine and convinces even Claire’s father.
