Betrayal and Revenge: New Manga "Yamiochi Reijou wa Maou no Musume Alice" Begins on Gangan ONLINE
While "villainess" and reincarnation themes continue to rapidly evolve in the manga world, a new dark and revenge-filled breath has come to this genre. The new manga series titled "Yamiochi Reijou wa Maou no Musume Alice ni Tensei shita node Outo de Anyaku suru koto ni shimashita" (The Fallen Noblewoman Reincarnated as the Demon King's Daughter Alice, So She Decided to Work in Secret in the Royal Capital), written by Muji Shimazaki and illustrated by Rika Kamiyoshi, began its serialization on May 6, 2026, on Square Enix's popular digital platform Gangan ONLINE.
The story begins with the tragic end of the protagonist, who in her past life was a respected noblewoman named Rebecca. Betrayed by her closest friend Eleanor, stripped of her fiancé, and accused of a crime she didn't commit, Rebecca is executed by burning along with her entire family. However, this end is actually a new beginning for her. Rebecca is reborn as Alice (Aristopheles), the daughter of the Demon King. Regaining the memories of her past life, Alice assumes human form and returns to the royal capital to seek revenge on those who caused her and her family such suffering, beginning to execute her plans from the shadows.
The names behind the series are one of the most important factors increasing anticipation for the project. The author of the original story, Muji Shimazaki, is an experienced name who has previously worked on successful titles such as "Kyou no Cerberus" (Today's Cerberus) and "Elio to Denki Ningyou".
