The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior season two synopsis reads: Pride Royal Ivy is an eight-year-old princess. One day she realises something: in her previous life she had been an ordinary girl born into a typical Japanese family, nothing special, just a normal child. But now, she has been reborn as the cruel and merciless final-boss queen in the otome game Kimi to Hitosuji no Hikari o. Realising this, she now decides to rely on her memories of having played the game and achieve something only she can do: avoid the coming tragedies and create a world where every character can find happiness. Thus begins a fantasy about a highly capable villainess princess striving to avoid becoming the final boss.
