Suitei Akuyaku Reijou wa Kuni Ichiban no Busaiku ni yome ga sareru you desu

Author: Suzu Enoshima (Author of Tsundere Akuyaku Reijou Liselotte)

Illustrator: Yukaco Fujimura

Label: Kadokawa Beans Bunko

Release Date: 1 March 2022

My Score: 3/5

Story & Characters:

Genre: Age gap (10 years) Romance, MxF Romance, Comedy, Isekai, Reincarnated as the villainess of an otome game

Premise: Emanuel was a normal girl in Japan but she was reincarnated into an unfamiliar world. She recognises the classical tropes of an otome game and figures out that she’s likely the villainess though she is unfamiliar with this particular otome game. In this world, people are classed based on the colours of their hair and eyes. The closer the colour is to black, the more beautiful they are considered where as lighter colours are considered unsightly. On the day of her trial as a villainess, Emanuel is sentenced to marry Louis, who is considered to be the ugliest person in the country due to his white hair. Emanuel sees this as a reward as she’s loved Louis for a few years. And, after exchanging love letters, it seems as though the feeling is mutual. However, Emanuel soon finds out that due to a lifetime of trauma and discrimination based on his hair colour, he cannot bring himself to believe her about her feelings and believes that she is just trying to get his help to get revenge on the kingdom that punished her. Emanuel will not give up until she convinces him that their feelings are mutual.

I’ve been keeping tabs on Enoshima since I loved Tsundere Akuyaku Reijou Liselotte and I’m so glad that they were able to publish another book. Sadly, this one didn’t quite live up to the hype for me though I did enjoy parts of it.

My first complaint is that the isekai element is unnecessary. At first, I thought it only there to explain why Emanuel doesn’t go along with the rules of this world but I still think that there would be people in this world who didn’t care about hair colour and later a character is introduced who wasn’t isekai’d and who also doesn’t care about hair colour so it really feels like it’s just there because isekai is a popular genre. Emanuel’s past life is so briefly mentioned that I wouldn’t be able to tell you what age she was when she died or how she died. It’s especially a shame because Tsundere Akuyaku Reijou Liselotte had such an interesting twist on the genre that made it memorable. My other problem is that there isn’t much of a plot to this one and most of the scenes end up feeling meandering and aimless as a result, especially in the second half.

That being said, I did find the characters charming and the romance is cute. It’s briefly mentioned that Louis is 10 years older than Emanuel but he doesn’t act like it and it’s not relevant to the plot so it’s easy to ignore. They have enough chemistry that their romance doesn’t feel rushed despite the fact that they basically fell in love with each other at first sight. I also like that Emanuel does have a couple of female friends and has a life outside of the central romance. She’s friends with the heroine character and her maid is one of the main characters of the book. It is a bit of a shame that all three female characters end up in a romance by the end but it was nice to see that regardless.

Now, I’m going to go into spoilers because this volume truly jumps the shark in the last chapter and I need to talk about it.

So, early on in the book, the heroine character (I think her name is Dyrna?) gives a blessing to Emanuel. She’s the child of the goddess of love so this blessing makes it so that Emanuel won’t die if she’s killed. She’ll just be like sleeping beauty and sleep while she heals until her true love kisses her. So in the last chapter Emanuel dies out of nowhere and the thing kind of becomes a closed room murder mystery where only a set amount of people could have gained access to room. The murderer is quickly revealed to be Louis’s estranged mother and the reveal lacks any tension or surprise because she never shows up before this. She’s briefly mentioned once as a major source of Louis’s trauma and that’s it. So it comes out of nowhere as an attempt to create some sort of interesting conflict and it really doesn’t work. I think this plot should have either been cut out completely or the killer should have been more surprising and/or comedic. Like it might have been interesting if one of the many nameless maids or butlers did it. Or she could have died comedically by accident. It would have been out of character but at least it would have been more entertaining. The only good things about the last chapter is the love confession Louis gives Emanuel when she’s asleep but he thinks she can’t hear him but she actually can and the inclusion of one of my favourite isekai tropes: the person who was isekai’d telling someone that they were isekai’d. Granted, we never see Louis’s reaction to the confession and it lacks any of drama and conflict that I usually like from the trope but I appreciated it’s inclusion nonetheless.

Recommneded for:

Romance fans who aren’t put off by the age gap.

While I didn’t like anywhere near Enoshima’s debut series, I did still appreciate it as a solid romcom with a cute couple. I’ll be looking to see if the author releases anything else in the future.

A quick word on knee strikes

In professional wrestling, there are certain knee strikes that can be referred to as a running, jumping, or flying knee interchangeably. This can be confusing, as there can be two different Running Knees that look completely different from each other. Personally, I generally like to use the term running knee for knee strikes where both of a wrestler's feet don't leave the ground or where a wrestler simply doesn't jump, such as William Regal's Knee Trembler. This is a knee that really couldn't be referred to as a Jumping or a Flying knee.

I use Jumping Knee for knee strikes that involve the wrestler jumping and then landing on their feet, such as Jumbo Tsuruta's Jumping Knee which is where this term comes from. I've seen this move called a running knee or a flying knee, but wrestlers who can trace some of their move lineage back to Jumbo are pretty adamant that this is called a Jumping Knee at least when they do it, so I just call it a Jumping Knee for everyone.

I use Flying Knee for knee strikes that involve a wrestler jumping and then falling to the ground, such as the famous Busaiku Knee. You would not be wrong for calling a Busaiku Knee a running, jumping, or flying knee. All are sort of correct. I just like to differentiate this kind of knee from the others.

For posts on this blog, I will probably just say Running/Jumping/Flying knee for knees that can be referred to as all three, I just wanted to give a little info on this particular kind of strike.

AEW Dynamite 4/3/24

Copeland comes out with a mic. Here he goes addressing Punk's recent shit talking. He says there has been a lot of negativity recently. He watched all wrestling as a child, because he loved it. And he has loved everywhere he has wrestled, but he has never had more fun than he has in AEW. He says they are fans, including Tony Khan, and that is not a bad thing. AEW has made wrestling fun and has given more people a chance to do what they love for a living. He says AEW is where the best wrestle.

Will Ospreay vs. Powerhouse Hobbs -- Hobbs lands a vertical suplex on Ospreay on the steps, slams him back- first repeatedly on the apron, then just hurls him backwards over his own head/shoulders onto the announce table!!!!! Damn! Ospreay comes off the ropes with a nice corckscrew kick. Hobbs lands a big belly to belly suplex, then catches Ospreay with a powerslam for two! Hobbs blocks an OsCutter attempt, but then Ospreay lands the OsCutter! Hobbs kicks out at two! Ospreay goes for the Hidden Blade, Hobbs catches him, but Ospreay reverses into an inside cradle for two. Ospreay lands two hook kicks, Hobbs lands a huge lariat that turns Ospreay inside out! Hobbs lands a huge avalanche powerslam for two! Hobbs goes for another slam, but Ospreay reverses into a DDT! Ospreay lands a sky twister press off the top, followed by a Hidden Blade for the pinfall!!

Very good match here. Great contrast of styles. Awesome finish. Rating: 3.5

Hobbs tries to go at Ospreay after the match, but Callis stops him.

Bryan Danielson vs. Lance Archer -- Archer lands a big suplex! Danielson with dragon screws, alternating chops and round kicks, the Romero special stomp to the back of the knees, round kicks to the knees, and a running corner dropkick to the knee!! Danielson goes for a topé, but Archer catches him and chokeslams him on the apron, then body slams a crew member from ringside onto Danielson on the floor!! Danielson runs the ropes, but Archer stops him with a running cross body. Danielson lands multiple running corner dropkicks! Danielson runs for something, Archer pops him up, Danielson reverses into a guillotine then transitions into the LeBell lock, but Archer escapes to the outside! Danielson lands a knee off the apron, then a shotgun dropkick off the top, then vicious round kicks!! Archer stops him with a chokeslam for two! Danielson goes to the top, but Archer stops him with a running knee lift and gets Danielson on his shoulders, but Danielson reverses into a sleeper! Archer flips him over to escape. Danielson takes him down with a Busaiku knee! Danielson goes for another, but Archer stops him with a hand around the throat! Danielson escapes and lands three round kicks to the head!!!!! Busaiku knee again! Cover! 1, 2, 3!!!!

That rocked, wtf!!!! Incredible work on the knees/legs by Danielson to take the big man down. Just a great match. Best match Archer has ever been involved in, that I have seen. He should tell Danielson thanks for making him look the best he ever has. Rating: 3.75

Renee is with Jericho. He calls for Hook. He talks about Hook not trusting him, and says he understands that. He knows he has pushed everyone away. He says when you play the game at the highest level like him, that's what happens. And when Hook understands that, he will understand what Jericho is trying to teach him. Hook says he believes in Jericho so much that he got them a match on Collision. He will be keeping his eye on Jericho. Jericho says Hook is learning already.

Next, Shane Taylor and Lee Moriarty do a promo about their intent to beat Jericho and Hook's asses this Saturday on Collision.

Jay White vs. Billy Gunn -- Billy jumps Jay before the bell. Billy throws Jay around into the barricades, and throws him out of the ring repeatedly. Jay finally rallies with a running uppercut in the corner and a dropkick to the knee, then slams Billy's face into the ring post outside. Jay goes for Bladerunner, but Billy blocks it and lands some kind of strange looking move. Billy lands a Fameasser. The Gunns eventually come out to get involved after beating up the Acclaimed backstage. This ends with Jay landing a low blow on Billy for the DQ.

This was absolutely terrible. It can hardly even be called a match, as there was almost no wrestling involved. I can't even begin to understand the logic of this booking, as Jay comes out of this looking awful. Rating: 1

There is a brawl between all six guys after the match. Who cares.

Willow is interviewed. She says she is feeling great. She talks about her history of wrestling in Worster, MA, and how this crowd always reassured her and gave her confidence when she wondered if a freak like her belonged in wrestling. She is confident that she is going to beat Julia and become the smiling face of TBS. Mercedes comes out to interrupt. She says whoever wins the TBS title at Dynasty, she gets next at Double or Nothing! Nice!!!

Trent Beretta and Orange Cassidy vs. The Young Bucks (AEW Tag Team Championship Tournament Match) -- Snap vertical suplex by Orange, then a double suplex by Orange and Trent. Series of Northern Lights suplexes by Matt, then a corner tornado DDT by Trent. The Bucks land a double team powerbomb on Orange on the apron, then another one on Trent!! Trent lands a nice Saito suplex on Nick. Orange lands an elbow off the top and goes for a double rana, but the Bucks block it. Nick fakes a superkick and Matt lands a DDT instead on Orange. Nick lands a corner enziguri. Orange with tornado DDTs for both Bucks, then a diving tornado DDT off the top on Nick for two! Orange comes off the second rope to assist a Tombstone by Trent on Matt, then Sole Food by Orange into a half and half suplex by Trent combo on Nick! Nice. The Bucks land a superkick into a Code Red combo on Trent! Orange lands an Orange Punch on Nick outside! Running knee inside by Trent, then a double stomp off the top by Orange into Strong Zero by Trent on Matt, but Nick breaks up the pin! Orange lands an Orange Punch on Nick to send him outside! Matt catapults Trent into an exposed turnbuckle and rolls him up for three. Wtf.

This was a good match until the absolutely steaming hot garbage finish. Wtf was that. Why do the Bucks need this win?? Someone please tell me. Rating: 3.25

Trent lays Orange out with a running knee after the match and walks out, leaving Orange, Chuck, and his mom Sue behind. Not to sound like a broken record, but wtf?????????????????? Why do we need to break up Best Friends?? This company needs tag teams! Trent is probably not going to have any sort of big singles run, and Chuck certainly isn't. I don't see how this can possibly benefit anyone.

Thunder Rosa vs. Mariah May (Number One Contender Match for the AEW Women's World Championship) -- Mariah with a hip attack, then a nice double leg dropkick. Rosa lands a sliding forearm to the back, then a sliding dropkick. Mariah lands a huge right hand on the apron!!! Damn!! She follows up with a huge boot, then goes for a sunset flip off the apron, but Rosa reverses into a rana on the floor! Rosa lands a diving cross body into the barricade outside. Hook kick by Mariah inside for two! Vicious elbow exchange! Rosa with overhand chops! German by Rosa for two! Saito suplex by Mariah! Rosa misses a stomp off the top, and Mariah lands a running knee for two! Mariah lands a huge headbutt!! Rosa reverses a Mayday attempt into a Tijuana bomb for the pinfall!

Very solid match here, with Mariah looking better than Rosa. Good intensity, good back and forth. I enjoyed it, there just wasn't much to it with the commercial breaks. Rating: 2.75

Toni says on commentary that Mariah reminds her of a younger Toni Storm, and Thunder Rosa reminds her of an older Thunder Rosa. Lmao.

Alex and Penta promo. Penta announces that he will challenge Copleland for TNT Championship next week, because what the people need is a champion with cero miedo.

Swerve and Joe contract signing. Here we goooo!!! Joe signs the contract. Schiavone starts to talk. Joe tells him to shut up!! 🔥🔥 Joe tells Swerve that he has watched him, from his blood feud with Hangman Page to his meteoric rise to not one, but two championship opportunities. How else could this fairytale end, but with everyone happy and celebrating a new champion? That's the bad information Swerve has been working on, but Joe is about to tell him the truth. The truth is that signing this contract and stepping into the ring with Joe right now is a career-defining mistake. Joe says he will put it in terms that maybe a rapper can barely understand. He says, "I am going to beat you down so severely, it is going to leave you mentally scarred like you left Diddy's party too late." Joe says now that Swerve has the right information, why doesn't he do the right thing?

Swerve says he has wanted this moment all his life. This championship is bigger than both of them, and he understands the danger of facing Joe for it. Joe is the definition of a killer, but so is he. At Dynasty, he will show Joe that he is every bit of that man. Swerve lands a right hand to Joe's face, then wraps the steel chain around Joe's neck!!! Joe headbutts Swerve to escape, wraps the chain around his hand, and nails Swerve repeatedly with right hands to the face in the corner!! The refs pull Joe off of Swerve. Joe starts to leave. Swerve grabs a mic and says that he loves this shit, and if that is all Joe has got, he is taking the championship. Swerve wipes the pen in the blood on his forehead and signs the contract in blood!! Hell yeah!!!! Joe comes back into the ring with a low blow and puts Swerve through the table with a huge urange!!!!

Aaahhhh!!!! What a great segment. Joe was phenomenal here, and Swerve signing the contract in his own blood is a great babyface moment. I am excited for their match.

Rewatched Bryan vs Zack

So, Bryan is going to spend 2024 putting everyone over. Zack will probably tap him out. I love how Nigel is basically feels like a heel wrestler is commentating on his rival's match with the amount of vitriol he talks. Also him mentioning Bryan's marriage when Mox is bringing up his injuries.

"Retire now, Bryan."

The first strike in the match takes place 7 minutes into it.

The second dragon screw holy shit. The selling.

Zack waving his finger after the regal-plex and stumbling before getting hit by the first Busaiku Knee because he wasn't in the right position.

Zack just talking throughout the match.

Mox with the tantric sexual stuff line immediately followed by Excalibur going, this show is to honour Antonio Inoki.

2022.09.29 Endless SHOCK @ Hakataza Theater in Fukuoka

Posting on my Tumblr so I can delete the thread on my Twitter and it looks better here than a series of 10+ tweets haha. I'm sad I didn't hit for SHOCK 2023 so time to relive seeing it last year. I got lucky and decided to just YOLO by applying for the self guided tour visa before borders opened back up officially like two weeks later lmao. I HAD TO GO since I'm a KinKi and Kisumai fan!

Koichi Zachou is really an oujisama 😍 Loved red hair Mitsu as rival. Wish I could have seen more shows because there's so much happening in all the scenes. Glad I got close seats in the 2nd floor especially to see Koichi's flying scenes in the second act 😭

9/29 13:00 show

I was so focused on Koichi at the beginning and I'm so used to Kochan's stage voice so when Mitsu first spoke I was like who omg it's HIROMITSU

I was very impressed with Mitsu's stage acting and singing just like many fans reported! His singing is very clear & smooth 💯

Matsuzaki & HIROMITSU are too cute as buddies. Zaki telling Mitsu to put his arms around Rika at the rooftop🙈 A few scenes I just laughed at their buddy bro dynamic.

Mitsu in the ❤️ patterned suit is cute 🥰 when he comes in with the bouquet & dances with Rika during It's a Wonderful Day. Man got guts to wear that heart patterned suit. Haha he's so charai just like how he is as idol... watch Kisumai Busaiku! 🤣

I think HIROMITSU is the happy go lucky charai rival that is more on KOICHI's level. He doesn't seem to get angry and is more sly and calculated.

I laughed at the Everybody Go lines 😂 I love the little references/adlibs. For my show since it was the day of Travis Japan's "world debut" announcement. After the rooftop scene they are crossing the stage~

Matsuzaki: There's a group making a world debut!

Mitsu on roller skates: Ehh Tora Tora..! 🐯🐯

Overall HIROMITSU gets along with everyone and have fun in the Company.

The solo for the rival, MOVE ON is such a good fitting song. I felt Shori had the cool youngster brash charisma in the performance. So it's nice to see how Mitsu's version has a different aura that was his own... he totally owned the stage. Dancing & charisma. 💯💯

I need to review the previous rivals and watch more closely but I can definitely see how others say Mitsu's version is different. I felt his version was more calm, diligent, and mature and more of KOICHI's equal. He didn't crumble emotionally and descend into darkness/violence or acted brashly right away...

It was a slowburn but when he finds out, KOICHI is really dead... After the Shakespearean act, HIROMITSU is lying on the floor distraught. The piano melody for Don't Look Back 〜戻れない日々 plays (love this song composed by Koichi! could we get a new OST version with Shori and Mitsu as vocals *biased*). This part always gets me with the rival, KOICHI, and the owner singing. here is where I first started to get sobby/cry a bit. I also cried at the end of Yori no Umi, then and there's HIROMITSU and the cast... The flashbacks of memories with KOICHI is shown...

Shimada Kaho who Koichi worked with in Knights' Tale played the Owner for the first time. She's a lovely lady and has such a elegant presence 😍 she has a softer speaking voice than Maeda Bibari-san but a powerful beautiful singing voice.

As always the second act is just amazing with the Japanese dance and flying scenes.

And the end is just 😭😭😭

Doesn't HIROMITSU look so intense!

Even knowing the general story with the acts and various performances... I understand why people still want to see it every year even tho the general story is the same but how the script changes with the different rival and how it evolves... There's a different atmosphere with each new rival/cast. For me, seeing the cast ensemble makes it interesting to watch with the chairman leading. I really hope to see Endless SHOCK again one day.

Scans by me from digital Weekly TV Guide & TV Guide Alpha
