The Villainess Reincarnate Exhibition: A Journey into a Captivating World
Fans of fantasy and romantic dramas, take note! Starting June 3rd, 2026, the long-awaited exhibition themed around the popular series "The Villainess Reincarnate" will be held at Matsuya Ginza, Tokyo.

The exhibition promises to bring to life the enchanting world that fans have come to love through immersive displays and exclusive merchandise.
The plot revolves around Emi, who mysteriously finds herself reincarnated as the villainess Remilia in a well-known RPG-style otome game. With her fate sealed, thanks to the heroine known as the Star Maiden, Emi faces a harsh judgment for crimes she did not commit. To reclaim her honor and seek revenge, the true Remilia awakens from within Emi, igniting a tale of fierce retaliation against her foes.
Originally published as a short story on the web platform “Shousetsuka ni Narou” in 2020, the story quickly gained popularity, leading to serialization in 2021 and subsequently being released in novel format by Ichijinsha. The comic adaptation debuted in November 2021 and quickly climbed the popularity ranks, receiving numerous accolades, including recognition in the Next Comic Award and the Web Manga General Election of 2023. With its current trajectory, the property is set to be adapted into a TV anime by 2027, suggesting that the spotlight on this story will continue to shine bright.
