What is ‘I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss’ about?
The anime is based on the light novel series written by Sarasa Nagase and illustrated by Mai Murasaki. Our story begins when Aileen’s engagement to the prince is unceremoniously ended by the Prince himself. This event replenishes Aileen’s memories, and she realizes she is actually in an Otome game.
Moreover, she is actually the villain of it, destined to get a bad end, aka die. So to survive, Aileen decides the best course of action is to marry the demon lord and tame him. Since she is the villainess, it only makes sense that she would go for the final boss of the game.
