The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess Trailer

Hiroaki Sakurai (The Demon Girl Next Door) directs, with Mitsutaka Hirota (Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time) handling series composition, Tomoyo Sawada on character designs and Ryuichi Takada on music for the Studio DEEN production.
Yen Press publishes the original manga in English and sums up the story:
The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess Plot
Konoha Satou has a dark history. After all, she spent her teen years writing self-indulgent fantasy romance fics-like her Dark History. But since she’s become its most despicable villainess, remembering every last detail is now a matter of life-and-death. Having avoided the first couple of death flags, Satou’s suddenly left in the dark when a mysterious stranger returns from the Lily Kingdom-a character she doesn’t recall writing in the original script. Although Yomi claims to be her ally, can Satou really trust a character she knows nothing about in such a dangerous world?
