THOUGH I AM AN INEPT VILLAINESS GN VOL 01

Artists: (W) Satsuki Nakamura (A) Ei Ohitsuji Prepare for swirling court intrigue in this magical 'trading places' tale of maidens competing for the crown--and don't miss the original light novels, also from Seven Seas! In a kingdom inspired by historical China, five clans put forth their maidens as imperial consorts--but only one will be crowned empress. The frail and beautiful Kou Reirin, the so-called 'butterfly' of the imperial court, is a shoo-in to marry the crown prince. But when 'court rat' Shu Keigetsu lashes out at her during the glittering Lantern Festival, it's Reirin who wakes up in the dungeons! Body-swapped by her assailant to steal her position at court, Reirin's plight seems dire...to everyone else! Now that she's got a robust new body, not even the looming threat of execution can stop her!
