The First Volume of the Manga Series Honjitsu, Anata o Aisuru no o Yamemasu Has Been Released: The Revenge of a Betrayed Woman Begins
An ambitious new addition is being made to the "villainess" themed stories that have gained great popularity in Japan in recent years. Adapted from the original story by author Naka and illustrated by Midori Yata, the first volume of the manga Honjitsu, Anata o Aisuru no o Yamemasu ～Ouhi to Furin shita Anata ga Warui no desu yo?～ (Today, I Stop Loving You ~It's Your Fault for Having an Affair with the Queen, Isn't It?~) officially met with readers as of March 31.
At the center of the story is the character Evelyn, who faces a tragic fate. Her husband, Duke Vincent, having a secret affair with the Queen and her being unjustly accused and facing the fate of being executed as a "villainess" pushes Evelyn to make a radical decision. Instead of waiting to be executed, Evelyn takes her fate into her own hands and sets in motion a meticulous and cold-blooded revenge plan that will last exactly three years. The first volume of the series tells the story of this strategic comeback and the behind-the-scenes of the betrayal in an impressive way.
Serialized on the Comic Ride platform under the Micro Magazine umbrella, this series is actually based on a work that received great attention on the popular web novel site "Shosetsuka ni Naro". The manga adaptation successfully reflects the emotional depth of the characters and the tension within the palace with Midori Yata's elegant and detailed drawings. In particular, the main character's determined stance against the injustice she suffered has already received full marks from fans of the genre.
Such revenge and comeback stories generally appeal to a wide fan base as they focus on characters who have been wronged becoming empowered against social pressures. Honjitsu, Anata o Aisuru no o Yamemasu is not just a story of betrayal, but also represents a woman's struggle to save her own honor. How Evelyn's plan will shake the balances in the kingdom and how those who betrayed her will pay the price in the upcoming chapters of the series is eagerly awaited.
