The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen is based on the Ichijinsha-published light novels written by Tenichi and illustrated by Suzunosuke. The light novel series, which are published under the Iris NEO label, began publication in 2019 and has 12 volumes as of 2025
Seven Seas Entertainment describes the books’ synopsis as such:
Pride Royal Ivy is only eight years old when she realizes that she’s been reincarnated, destined to become the future wicked queen and final boss of an otome game. She’s got it all in this new life: razor-sharp wit, boss-tier powers, and influence over the kingdom as crown princess. Determined to sow despair and destruction across the land, she… Wait, what kind of a rotten future is that?! Princess Pride decides to drop the maniacal villainess act and protect the male love interests instead, cheating her way to saving everyone she can! Will this final boss end up earning the adoration of her kingdom?
The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen was previously a Shosetsuka ni Naro web novel that began serialization in 2018. The light novels inspired a manga adaptation by Bunko Matsuura, which ended serialization in 2022 due to Matsuura’s health. There have since been two new manga series, subtitled To The Savior and The Savior’s Pride, with art by Akiko Kawano.
The anime’s first season aired in 2023.
