A crowd-favorite series, with a slight redemption-romance feel. The heroine is emotionally oblivious, and everyone has unrequited feelings for her.

Starting from childhood, with everyday life, suspense, and romantic rivalries.

A Japanese-style school romance light novel.

You live in the world of a hot-blooded anime. You're the childhood friend of the grassroots protagonist's rival, the villainous male supporting character. In other words, you're the villainess.

You're arrogant, selfish, and spoiled, and readers can't stand you.

Fortunately, you have no idea any of this is true.

All you know is that you, Yagami Ririka, are rich and beautiful, and your parents get along and your siblings love you.

As a pure-blooded divine favorite, you're exceptionally talented, get excellent grades, and are the backbone of your club as well as a campus star.

Your future is so bright you can't sleep. You're practically a winner at life.

There's just one thing that bothers you: the people around you all seem a little crazy... in every sense of the word.

You've been surrounded by little bundles of misery since childhood.

The pink-haired, tsundere, sharp-tongued young master kept under strict supervision at home is your childhood friend.

The black-haired, taciturn transfer student who gets bullied at school is your deskmate.

The gray-eyed, inflexible disciplinary committee member whose sense of justice is almost excessive is your friend.

The white-haired upperclassman who covers his eyes, has a perfect smile, and seems gentle and considerate but is actually nasty is your senpai.

The dark-skinned, big-chested puppy who wags his tail like crazy and has no sense of the mood is your middle school deskmate.

The long-haired poor thing who can't even afford food and rummages through trash cans every day is your sidekick.

The flirtatious type who is a succubus but is so afraid of women he faints is your roommate.

The nurturing, mom-like club president who blushes before he can get a word out is your club leader.

The sharp-tongued genius with a bowl cut is your sworn rival.

*Open ending.*

Because of the worldbuilding, the protagonist isn't a good person in the traditional sense, but she won't deliberately do evil either.

In truth, this is a lighthearted, healing story about a sweet girl who thinks she's a villainess and accidentally helps a whole bunch of people heal.

There are plenty of male characters.
