My Next Life as a Villainess 02 by Satoru Yamaguchi

4.0

In volume 2 our MC Catarina continues to grow her own dating game harem without realizing it. And now she also adds her most feared enemy to it - Maria - while subconsciously undermining her romantic relationships with the other cast, effectively wooing Maria herself.
Catarina is again our unreliable narrator, but it's easy to see what really happens in the manga. I wonder if the light novel is less easy to interpret...
Anyway. Why 4/5? Because there wasn't much tension in this volume. Everything is smooth sailing and mostly plain fun. I hope volume 3 and this secret route character is going to be more of a threat for Catarina to overcome.
