7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy! details
The upcoming anime is based on the light novel series by Touko Amekawa, which is currently being published in English by Seven Seas Entertainment. (Update: Touko Amekawa’s second series — Reincarnated in a Mafia Dating Sim — has just been announced as getting an anime. So it’s two-fer two for the author. Not bad, eh?)
There are four volumes out in English so far, with Volume 5 due to be published in June, 2024.
Seven Seas explains the 7th Time Loop plot like this:
Every time Rishe turns twenty, she dies and is reincarnated to the day she gets dumped. She has been a merchant, an apothecary, and even a maid. For her seventh life, she has one goal: to live a long and lazy life.
But then she gets a marriage proposal from the Crown Prince–the man who killed her in her previous life as a knight. Despite her determination to avoid drama, here she goes again!
The anime based on the light novels is being produced by Studio Kai and Hornets, and now has a release date of January 7, 2024 in Japan.
