I Was Reincarnated as the Heroine on the Verge of a Bad Ending, and I'm Determined to Fall in Love! is a charming, self-aware romantic fantasy from author Kotoko and artist Ikuto Nanase for anyone who's ever wanted to grab an otome game heroine and help her make better choices. Published under TOKYOPOP's LoveLove imprint, this 13+ series combines dating sim mechanics with genuine heart.

She was just an ordinary dating-sim enthusiast, happily playing through routes and collecting happy endings. Then she woke up in the body of Reina Waynewright—the heroine of her favorite game.

There's just one problem: she's not at the beginning of the story. She's near the end. And every flag points toward the Bad Ending.

No confession scenes. No romantic moments. No happily ever after. Just disaster waiting to happen.

But our heroine isn't about to accept that fate. Armed with her extensive knowledge of the game, she's determined to grind her way to a better outcome. She'll raise her stats. Make better choices. Build genuine friendships. And maybe—just maybe—find real love along the way.

I Was Reincarnated as the Heroine on the Verge of a Bad Ending is a celebration of the otome game genre that takes its premise seriously while keeping the tone light and hopeful. It's about taking control of your story, even when the odds seem stacked against you.

I Was Reincarnated as the Heroine on the Verge of a Bad Ending proves that every story deserves a second chance—especially yours.

Perfect for readers who love: Otome game isekai, reincarnation romance, dating sim mechanics, determined heroines, fate-defying narratives, shoujo fantasy.
