Production Quality by Studio DEEN, Featuring a Luxurious Voice Cast

In the trailer, we can see the beautifully animated scenes produced by Studio DEEN. The stark contrast is formed between the scene of the heroine Tiararose facing the despair of her engagement being annulled and the dashing appearance of the neighboring kingdom's crown prince Aquasteed proposing to her.

The lead voice actors, Mai Fuchigami and Yuichiro Umehara , also perfectly portray the emotional tension of the characters through their superb vocal performances, making this unexpected fateful encounter even more captivating.

Reversing the Tragic Script! From Despair to Being Doted On - A Sweet Love Setup

The story follows the heroine who reincarnates as the "villainess" Tiararose in an otome game. Just when she thought she would face a悲惨 exile ending after being dumped by the prince at the graduation party, the story takes an unexpected turn!

The crown prince of the neighboring kingdom, who is also a romanceable character meant to appear only in the game's sequel—Aquasteed—publicly proposes to her, completely rewriting the original tragic script. This kind of reversal setting, bouncing back from rock bottom, is precisely the most charming aspect of villainess reincarnation anime.
