THE MOST HERETICAL LAST BOSS QUEEN: FROM VILLAINESS TO SAVIOR Season 2 (悲劇の元凶となる最強外道ラスボス女王は民の為に尽くします。, Higeki no Genkyō to naru Saikyō Gedō Last Boss Joō wa Min no tame ni Tsukushimasu)
Pride Royal Ivy is an eight-year-old princess. One day she realizes something: in her previous life she had been an ordinary girl born into a typical Japanese family—nothing special, just a normal child. But now, she has been reborn as the cruel and merciless final-boss queen in the otome game Kimi to Hitosuji no Hikari o (“A Ray of Light With You”). Realizing this, she now decides to rely on her memories of having played the game and achieve something only she can do: avoid the coming tragedies and create a world where every character can find happiness. Thus begins a fantasy about a highly capable villainess princess striving to avoid becoming the final boss.
An adaptation of the hit fantasy light novel series by Tenichi that premiered on Japanese TV in July 2023 and is directed by Norio Nitta together with writing by Deko Akao and production by OLM Team Yoshioka.
