The original is the web novel version, which can be read for free here: https://jingletranslations.wordpress.com/i-favor-the-villainess/. The translation isn't very good and the writing isn't the greatest, but it's complete, with a sequel currently in progress (which is Chapter 9 onwards). It's not too long either, despite what the number of chapters implies. No art, though.

The light novel, which has 2 volumes, is getting an English release by Seven Seas Entertainment, but it's not out yet. The physical copy of the first volume is getting released on November 11, but there'll be an early digital release on September 24: https://sevenseasentertainment.com/series/im-in-love-with-the-villainess-light-novel/. I'm not sure what changes, if any, there are story-wise compared to the web novel, but at the very least it'll have a better translation along with some nice illustrations.

So basically, read the web novel if you can't wait and don't mind the poor English. The manga so far adapted the first six chapters of the web novel, though there's some significant exposition that was removed or changed so you may want to go over those.

Classy Claire looked great, but no drills is a shame.

I missed this earlier, but hey there Lene. She popped up earlier than I was expecting, even if only for a small cameo.

I'm gonna be honest, Clairium was a better term than Claire Energy

I didn't even notice that, nice catch.

Her roommate reminded me of Yukari at the end of the chapter. Regardless, this is funny stuff, and I hope she gets her girl.

Hoping this gets an anime. I would die in happiness lmao

Second chapter is a bit better. But, I still can't stand Rei. She is way too annoying.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Niccccce. I’ve been reading the official translation and wondering when it’d be in manga form.

I always need more~

I'm liking it so far, but i do hope the romance gets a bit more serious as chapters go on. The thing i hate about stories where the girl MC is head over heels for another girl is that the feelings of the MC are often played for laughs and it never go past that. Well, maybe theres a subtle hint that the other girl is starting to respect her a little, but thats about it.

Don't worry, they do get married.

They fuck and raise 2 adopted daughters together
Also, Rei’s sexuality and feelings for Claire are discussed more seriously later on

Thats great! I remember watching an anime (That was based on some LN as well) of a red haired girl that had a similar premise. boys were interested in the MC but she wanted another girl, but it never went beyond the "X is starting to get feelings for her" and remember hearing about how the MC falls in love with her cousin later on the story for some reason. I'm glad this doesn't go that route. Now i'm definitely excited to see how that unfolds.

UNLIMITED CLAIRE WORKS

@Kal3d Was the cousin a girl at least?

Nope, he was a doting perv who also had his feelings for the MC played for laughs on the anime, but apparently later on the LNs he gets his feelings reciprocated. The anime was called Mikagura School Suite and its fun watch if you have nothing else to watch, but if several users at /u/ are to be believed, the novels go in a whole different direction with the romance.

I really like it. We see that it's inspired from "Otome Game no Hametsu Flag Shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei Shiteshimatta" but instead, it's more focused on the yuri. Which is PERFECT (๑´꒳`๑)
Yuri is the best thing on earth ♡
I just hope that Claire will show a bit of love to Rei in the future ~

Beyond the villainess and isekai I don't see how this is like that. The mc isn't even the villainess in this
