Villainess: Reloaded! Blowing Away Bad Ends with Modern Weapons (Manga)

Astrid von Oldenburg is no ordinary four-year-old. She’s a child prodigy with a passion for military technology who now finds herself reincarnated in the world of an otome game she played during her past life. But not as the heroine! As the game’s villainess, she's born with wealth, power, and a fearsome talent for magic. The only problem is that every route leads to her inevitable destruction. Or does it? What if averting her destruction was a simple matter of amassing enough firepower to annihilate anyone who dared even attempt to bring her down?! In a bid to resist fate, the young villainess embarks on the reproduction of all of her favorite weaponry. Whatever it takes, Astrid’s determined to blow away her bad ends with superior firepower!

Shotgun-wielding otome game villainess Astrid Sophie von Oldenburg is now in possession of a small arsenal of modern weapons powered by fantasy-world magic. But it’s still not enough to strike back against fate! Driven by her love for all things military related, she’s not about to stop recreating or firing her favorite guns anytime soon. However, her parents are less enthusiastic about their daughter’s newfound obsession with magic; can Astrid rise to the challenge of keeping them happy? And how will she fare when she comes face to beak with a griffin and the tiny fairy in its talons? Many trials await her, but she swears that through the power of bigger and better weapons, she’ll tear fate apart!

Having reached the age of six, Astrid has begun attending the Satanachia Academy of Sorcery. Her school life is nothing short of a minefield: she’s required to attend an orientation camp with all of the game’s love interests, rumors of her engagement begin to spread, and she even encounters a large poisonous bird. Fate seems determined to push her toward catastrophe! Be that as it may, Astrid is determined to enjoy academy life regardless. If she treads carefully, she may learn some advanced magic and make a few friends; every little bit helps as she works to blow her fate to bits!

In the course of her tireless efforts to avoid the terrible fate that awaits her, otome game villainess Astrid Sophie von Oldenburg has signed up as an assistant mage for the Adventurer’s Guild! Not only does it pay well, it’s also a great excuse to get outdoors and put those guns of hers to good use. But when Astrid finds herself facing a beast more fearsome than anything she’s encountered before, she’s left feeling that her existing arsenal isn’t up to scratch. Time to call upon Mister Gnome to make bigger and better weapons! Meanwhile, the elite noble children of the academy have decided to invite (force?) Astrid to join a club known as the Round Table. When she accompanies the group on a trip to a beach, it means finally taking a break from her magic and weaponry. Or does it? After all, Astrid will stop at nothing to turn the tide in her battle against fate!

Now that otome game villainess Astrid Sophie von Oldenburg has charming imperial prince Friedrich head over heels for her, what’s her next move? To shove him off onto the heroine, of course! Boys who’ll bring the wrath of the empire down upon her family aren’t really her type. Thankfully, she knows just the spell to redirect his affections, and maybe she can even use it to clear a few mines too... Ultimately, however, the heart wants what it wants, so Astrid still needs a backup plan to overthrow the empire; naturally, hers is an arsenal of advanced military hardware. She’s been looking for a good excuse to test her weapons, so what better target than a century-old fire dragon razing a local village? Astrid’s bringing out the big guns and making Swiss cheese of her bad end in this final volume of the Villainess: Reloaded! manga.
