The folks at J-Novel Club have picked up a new property with free previews already going online with the acquisition of Deathbound Duke’s Daughter. The series comes from writer Terasu Senoo with artwork by Munashichi and is known originally as Shini Yasui Koshaku Reijo. It has two compiled volumes from its serialized run that began in 2015 and wrapped up in 2019.
Plot Concept: One evening in early spring, eight-year-old Erika Aurelia realizes she’s the detestable little villainess from an otome game called Liber Monstrorum: The Winter Maiden and the Phantasmic Beasts.
As if that wasn’t bad enough already, Erika’s role in the game is to pester the main character… and then die in order to kick off a mysterious series of events! These incidents are different in each love interest’s route, and seven routes means seven deaths to avoid.
Not one to throw in the towel, Erika knows she must take action to destroy her death flags—and since her life is on the line, there’s no time to lose!
