Country bumkin orphan cinnamon bun got tasked to find a lover within the first week of (girls') middle school and assigned the role villainess :)))) The staffs must have played too much yuri otome games.

Oh hey a new Sasuke series is a surprise, but one I'm looking forward to seeing unfold!

We're off to a fun start so far, thanks for the translation <3

This sounds like a horrible way to run a school, but it also seems like a wonderful way to give me entertainment, so I approve. It'll just be Hanako's tough luck. Hope she can find a lover quick!

By the way, what's the deal with the nun giving Hanako a new name to send her off? It's not remarked on at all, what am I missing here?

Also, Itsuwari no Marigold had just "finished" (I want to see the final vol 03 before saying the ending feels natural or not, but I think I caught a whiff of Axe-kun's smell) and Sasuke is already putting out a new series with even more absurd premise, let's see how it goes and hope for all the best.

Well she's being told to find a lover at an all-girls' school, so yeah, most likely. Uploader must've just forgotten the tag since it has GL tag over on MD.

Hella interesting, is this going to be one of these mangas where we get to know every student in the class like akebi? I hope so

While it has the same charm of Sasuke's previous works, there is this "something" which doesn't settles up properly.
The Roles, the isolation (literally in a remote part of the country) and the fact MC had to change her name.

I am looking for whatever that mystery in the background may be.

Great synopsis, hope the author has mercy on her.

“I WILL MAKE FRIENDS WITH EVERYONE AT SCHOOL. THAT'S WHAT I WROTE IN THE PRE-ENROLLMENT QUESTION-NAIRE...”

Gets a villainess type role immediately

What a great way to say “fuck you” to your bright eyed students, good job school

Maybe they couldn't find someone who wanted the villainess role! Someone has to pull the short straw in that case.

She was just given the name 'Hanako Shimura' by that nun, right? Maybe there was an original who fit the role of villainess better.

Huuuh that's certainly intriguing~ Curious how finding a lover is supposed to be related to being a "villainess"

I can’t believe they created Evil Yuri

Okay, this seems like good fun. Definitely a different take on the usual "villainess yuri".
I kinda feel bad for our MC, but I'm sure she'll manage in a most fun way.
Thanks for the chapter!

Are this and False Marigold running at the same time or is one of them way older and only now getting translated?

False Marigold has reportedly concluded with chapter 15 aka 3 volumes worth, so this is the only series they're working on rn

The manga is literally called "the role of the femme-fatale" are we sure "villainess" isn't supposed to be translated as "femme fatale"? Especially since "Villainess" is a generic evil person whereas "femme fatale" is specifically associated with seduction, which is the only angle I can see as to why she was given the role because of her questionnaire answer.

I know that villainess yuri has become something of a genre in recent times, and it's one that I quite enjoy myself, but I don't think the term should be misused just to be fit into the genre if that's why it was done.
