Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss But I'm Not the Demon Lord defies major isekai genre conventions in a big way. Isekai anime and manga both oftentimes use death as a means to reincarnate the main character into a different world. Upon gaining clarity of their reincarnation, they will recall either vague memories or defining details of their previous life.
Close In the kingdom, black hair is seen as unlucky and a symbol of evil. Due to this, Yumiella is often misunderstood, feared, or isolated by others; however, she doesn't seem to mind the inattention, preferring to live a peaceful life. To continue to do so, Yumiella makes two key decisions: one, she decides not to be a hidden boss character and joins the party to defeat the demon lord, and two, she levels up her dark magic before entering the academy.
In episode #10, when Yuri and Yumiella converse in the woods, Yumiella says, “They say young people like you are unbalanced in both mind and body.” To which Yuri replies, “Aren’t you still young yourself, Miss Yumiella?” This cues awkward laughter from them both, leaving viewers to wonder at the significance of Yumiella’s mental age gap.
Additionally, the manga illustrates a decrease in maturity after Yumiella talks through her problems with Patrick, thinking, “I really want to become friends with him, but I’m sure that’s too much to ask.” Making friends is no easy business, but as a character with mental maturity and a college education to back her up, Yumiella is not living up to the personality traits one would expect to have developed from her previous life experience.
