## Synopsis

The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior (2023-2026) is a Japanese isekai animated fantasy series produced by OLM and broadcast on TOKYO MX and BS11. Pride Royal Ivy, voiced by Fairouz Ai, is an eight-year-old crown princess who realizes she has been reincarnated into an otome game and is fated to become its wicked final boss. Rather than pursue the tyranny her future demands, she sets out to protect the male love interests and the wider kingdom, cheating her way toward saving everyone she can. Her sister Tiara Royal Ivy (Haruka Tomatsu) and the male leads, including Arthur Bersford (Junya Enoki) and Gilbert Butler (Koji Yusa), orbit her schemes. Each episode unfolds as a light, comedic sequence of political maneuvering, power plays and fate-averting improvisation within a royal court. Across two seasons and twenty-four episodes, the series keeps a playful, witty register, with an underlying warmth about second chances. Fans of Ascendance of a Bookworm, I'm in Love with the Villainess and Re:Zero will find resonance in its reincarnation premise, romance-fantasy setting and self-aware heroine.
