Pride Royal Ivy, an 8-year-old girl, reincarnated in another world as the wicked Queen and final boss of an otome game. Now, equipped with everything she needs to become unbeatable; “razor-sharp wit, boss-tier powers, and influence over the kingdom as a crown princess”, she writes a plot twist in her destiny and becomes an admirable leader. She saves the love interests who were fated to lose against her. “Will this final boss end up earning the adoration of her kingdom?”
The new cast includes Sefek, voiced by M.A.O, an orphan with the ability to sprout water from her hands; Val, voiced by Junichi Suwabe, a thief; and Kemet, voiced by Shizuka Ishigami, another orphan.

Worth a Watch?
With a 7 out of 10 for the story, The Most Heretical Last Boss: From Villainess to Savior has proved to be a must-watch with great visuals and compelling characters. Pride’s abilities are incredibly overpowered, but that doesn’t take away from the narrative, as most overpowered characters become boring and repetitive. Her ability is consistently used creatively to make sure her character doesn’t become one-dimensional.
Overall, The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior delivers an interesting and unique story. The emotionally satisfying character interactions, combined with Pride’s undefeatable abilities and the development of friendships, make for an enjoyable read. Although reviewers have a few reservations, the manga had successfully kept them invested before it stopped with no updates.
