June 6 of every year is celebrated as “The Day of Dread” (恐怖の日), a name derived from the number “666” in the New Testament — widely recognized as the “Number of the Beast,” a symbol of evil and absolute wickedness.
To mark this special day with its full air of “villainy,” the website Anime! Anime! has once again brought in “Akuya-Reijo” (悪役令嬢 — the Villainess Noblewoman) as its annual guest of honor.
From Villain to Protagonist
In the past, “Akuya-Reijo”-type characters were typically portrayed as arrogant and haughty rivals. However, in recent years a wave of stories placing these characters in the lead role has become enormously popular, greatly expanding and diversifying the image of the “Villainess Noblewoman.”
Join the Vote!
Anime! Anime! is running a reader poll under the theme “Which ‘Akuya-Reijo’ character comes to mind the most?”, continuing from last year. It is a free-answer format — fans simply name the character and the work they are from, whatever comes to mind.
- Format: Free answer — name the character and the title
- Submissions close: May 28, 2025
- Results: A summary will be published once all responses have been collected
Don’t miss your chance to join in and stay tuned for the 2025 annual poll results!
