The Villainess Is a Marionette

In The Villainess Is a Marionette (2025–present, Yen Press), the series reimagines the classic isekai premise through a political survival lens, following a noblewoman who awakens in the body of a doomed villainess in a novel. Armed with knowledge of the story’s tragic end, she must navigate court intrigue, manipulate allies and enemies, and outmaneuver the original plot’s cruel prince. The three-issue run, adapted from the popular web novel by Hanirim, distills the source material’s tense drama and psychological maneuvering into a concise, visually striking comic. It matters as a compact entry in the manhwa-to-comic pipeline, offering a self-contained arc that showcases the genre’s flair for cunning heroines and high-stakes romance.
