Ragna, the heir to a frontier noble family, is a man reborn into the world of a dating simulation game. He wants nothing more than to live an easy, laid-back life, but finds himself worn down managing his land in a harsh frontier environment.
Suddenly one day, Ragna receives a proposal to marry a high-ranking noble. However, his new bride, the duke’ s daughter Alicia, is the dating game’ s villainess! Contrary to Ragna’ s expectations, Alicia turns out to be extremely kind. It seems the reason she is cast as a villain isn’t due to her character, but for the expediency of the game’s story.

Synopsis:
Why is the toughest girl in school trying to be my type?!
“My type? A girl with long black hair who carries herself well.”
That’s what I told my friends during a casual conversation about romance. The very next day, Shimizu — the blonde delinquent who sits next to me — suddenly shows up with her hair dyed black. From then on, every time I mention my ideal girl, she starts doing things she normally wouldn’t — showing up to cooking class (which she used to always skip), packing me homemade lunches, etc.
This is the heartwarming slice-of-life high school rom-com about the awkward advances of the school’ s most intimidating delinquent girl.
