The character visual of the lady-in-waiting, Lily, who appears in the TV anime "IThough I Am an Inept Villainess," based on the popular light novel by Nakamura Souki, has been released.
The story revolves around two girls who are polar opposites: Huang Linglin, who is intelligent, beautiful, and loved by everyone, and nicknamed "His Highness's Butterfly," and Zhu Huiyue, who has a strong inferiority complex and is called a villain because of her despicable behavior and is hated by everyone. Lili is a lady-in-waiting who serves Huiyue, and she grows increasingly resentful of Huiyue's repeated harassment, but she is gradually won over by Huang Linglin's kindness.
The original light novel is published by Ichijinsha Novels (Ichijinsha), and the comic adaptation is currently being serialized in Monthly Comic ZERO-SUM (same publisher). It has gained popularity, winning the light novel category award at the 2023 Seymour Digital Comic Awards and being ranked number one in the women's light novel rankings at the BookLive Annual Rankings 2023. The anime will be directed by Mitsue Yamazaki and produced by Doga Kobo.
