Summary: "With the only thing she inherited from her parents being their once-great family name, the poverty-stricken Reiko Kujouin jumped at the chance for a scholarship to attend a prestigious school known called Meisei Private Academy. Why? Because of the ¥50,000 per month allowance and all her school supplies being paid for, of course!"But little could she expect that, on her very first day of classes, she would be tackled from behind by another girl who, convinced that she's been reincarnated into the world of an otome game, accuses Reiko of being a wealthy villainess…!"
Commentary: I just love Reiko, man. She's hilarious, stumbling head-first into this "rich young lady" role, and her background is actually pretty mysterious. A very fun read that needs to get more publicity!

I read a few chapters of a fan translation and would love for this to be picked up. Reiko's internal monologue is so funny. She's a sweetheart and an oddball. The premise is an unusual, interesting spin on the otome game reincarnation plot.

They’re both published by Kadokawa; Young Ace UP is the site where the manga was serialised. I say was because while neither is tagged as complete on BW, the last LN volume was released in 2020 and the manga has been on hiatus due to the artist’s health since 2022.
