Anime that focus on a character marked as the villainess in a Japanese Dating Simulator game. In this kind of story, the villainess is made to reform, either through outside intervention, previewing a bad future, or someone else becoming the villainess herself. The subgenere has gained massive influence in the manga world on mixing Shoujou/Josei themes with Shounen/Seinen themes, meaning that there's often something for everyone whether it's comedy, intrigue, action, or romance.

This includes Shojo, BL, Seinen, and Shounen. Although Shounen and Seinen are usually targeted at a male audience, there are some shows which I think more attract a female audience instead ^^
Also some new shojo that will be airing over the next 1-2 years. I'm so happy that there are new shoujos / female-targeted series coming out instead of just more Shounen romance 😭.

--> Link to Part 2 because the Shoujo gods have blessed us with more shows. https://myanimelist.net/stacks/32081
