OreAku, Hilarious Light Novel about Wannabe-Villain MC, Receives Manga!

I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire is a light novel with the most deceiving title ever. Why is that so? Because the protagonist, Liam, struggles to become an evil overlord, yet somehow all his plans backfire to make him look like a nice person.

It is an isekai story, but instead of a hero who fights for his friends, we get Liam, who can’t even act evil properly. However, the whole idea does seem interesting enough to inspire a new manga!

I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire light novel is receiving a manga adaptation by Kai Nadashima. The manga will start serialization on the Comic Gardio site from 28th May.

In the upcoming manga, Liam’s past life as a morally upright person will be shown. However, he was betrayed, and when he was reincarnated, he swore to only live for himself.

The hilarious light novel will portray Liam’s attempts at being a villain, but no matter how much he tries, he just can’t play the role. All his evil plans turn out to be actually for the good of his subjects.

Yomu Mishima, the creators of the original light novel, has also authored the novel, “Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs.”

Seven Seas has also licensed the I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire light novel for release in North America! The physical copy of Volume 1 will be released in November 2021.

The light novel is comparatively new, with only three released volumes yet. The last volume was distributed in April 2021.

With a wacky plot and a protagonist who tries too hard to become a villain, the new manga adaptation of the series is sure to be a hit with fans!
