For the English release, Seven Seas published this novel and manga series with the full title <em>Though I Am an Inept Villainess: Tale of the Butterfly-Rat Body Swap in the Maiden Court<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The series is set in a kingdom inspired by historical China. Five clans send their girls to become imperial consorts. From that group, only one will be chosen to be the empress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main character is Kou Reirin. She is known as a fragile and beautiful girl, and is nicknamed \u201cbutterfly\u201d in the palace. Reirin is also seen as having a great chance of becoming the crown prince's spouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The situation changes when Shu Keigetsu, nicknamed \u201ccourt rat\u201d, attacks her during the Lantern Festival. After that incident, Reirin wakes up in a dungeon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is at this point that the main conflict begins to move. Reirin's body has been swapped with the person who attacked her. From there, the story progresses through body swaps, changes in social position, and jockeying for place within the palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reirin's new condition gives the story a strong irony. While others see her situation as a disaster, Reirin is now in a stronger body. It makes the threats that come her way change shape, but it doesn't stop her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Though I Am an Inept Villainess | Official Trailer | Crunchyroll\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h1VGTiNBNt4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1130\" src=\"https:\/\/playeatsleep.fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Though-I-Am-an-Inept-Villainess-KV-800.webp\" alt=\"Though I Am an Inept Villainess (Doga Kobo)\" class=\"wp-image-17875\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Staf_Produksi\"><\/span>Production Staff<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anime Though I Am an Inept Villainess was produced by <strong>Doga Kobo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three main names already announced for the core staff are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Director:<\/strong> Mitsue Yamazaki<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Series Scripts:<\/strong> Yoshiko Nakamura<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Character Design:<\/strong> Ai Kikuchi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the core staff, the project has also announced the following staff:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Color Key Artist:<\/strong> Kei Ishiguro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Art Director:<\/strong> Seina Yaguchi (Studio Pablo)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compositing Director of Photography:<\/strong> Yui Fukuoka<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Editing:<\/strong> Mutsumi Takemiya<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Music:<\/strong> Yukari Hashimoto<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Casting:<\/strong> Makoto Tanimura<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sound Effects:<\/strong> Yuika Shiraishi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Audio-Recording Engineer:<\/strong> Toshihiro Hayano<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recording Assistant:<\/strong> Ryo Kaneko<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sound Production:<\/strong> Tohokushinsha Film Corporation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the main cast, this anime features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manaka Iwami<\/strong> as Kou Reirin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Natsumi Kawaida<\/strong> as Shu Keigetsu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the additional cast that has already been announced includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Makoto Furukawa<\/strong> as Ei Gyomei<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yuichiro Umehara<\/strong> as Shin-u<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hana Hishikawa<\/strong> as Riirii<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Farahnaz Nikray<\/strong> as Ko Tosetsu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tentang_Though_I_Am_an_Inept_Villainess\"><\/span>About Though I Am an Inept Villainess<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Though I Am an Inept Villainess (Futsutsuka na Akujo de wa Gozaimasu ga - Sugu Choso Torikae Den)<\/em> began to be published as a light novel under Ichijinsha on <strong>December 2020<\/strong>.
