What kind of power has been unleashed from Brigittes tiny spirit in that flashy explosion, only time will tell. For now, the time has come for Brigitte and her friends to stay with Nival at his father’s estate. As they eat, play, and study the days away, Yuri will be there the whole time. And for the ice-cold villain he so claims to be, Brigitte’s going to have to do everything she can to keep her cool around him.

A bet is a bet— and Brigitte Meidel pays her debts. Ready for the worst, she’s shocked to find Yuri’s only request is that she come visit him at his manor. While there, she encounters a mysterious young boy who bears a striking resemblance to her icy frenemy. The boy claims he can help her on a journey to finally call forth her contracted spirit. To a girl whose heart beats for spirits almost as much as it does for Yuri, will she seize this opportunity before her...?

Villainess stories have become very popular in the world of manga and anime, and If the Villainess and Villain Met and Fell in Love offers a refreshing relationship between a supposedly incompetent villainess and a genius male lead who stands up for her against her manipulative ex-fiance.

Nival’s wind Aria has gone berserk, threatening Bridgitte and all her classmates! Just as her no-name spirit shows signs of awakening, Yuri leaps in to save her from the rampaging spirit! Until now, describing their relationship was confrontational would’ve been putting it lightly— especially after their rocky introductions. But in the aftermath of the incident Bridgitte begins to see Yuri in a different light. And as her feelings for him grow, could the once-insurmountable distance between them be shrinking...?

Contracted with a no-name spirit, Brigitte Meidell is a disappointment to her noble family and the mockery of her peers at the Otoleanna Academy of Magic—except for one. Yuri Aurealis is intelligent, handsome…and oh so arrogant. He’s made enemies of the same people as Brigitte, meaning the two should get along just fine. However, his boorishness accidentally sparks a rivalry between them. It’s a competition that has the potential to bring the two closer than they ever thought…!

SOMETIMES FIRE AND ICE ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. Brigitte Meidell belongs to a noble family, which means high expectations were placed upon her spirit contract. However, her bonded spirit turned out to be a weak no-name, and ever since, she has been a source of shame to her family. She thought her engagement to the prince would turn her life around, but when he publicly breaks off their relationship, she finds herself alone again. After her haughty, villainous behavior as the prince’s brideto- be, no one shows her much sympathy—except for the duke’s son Yuri, who attends the same magic academy. Yuri is feared for his incredible abilities and icy personality, but with him on her side, her fortunes might have changed...

THE SMALLEST SPARK CAN GROW INTO A FIRE. When Prince Joseph broke off his engagement to Brigitte, her life was shattered—but meeting Yuri helped her start putting it together again. The two may have started off as rivals, yet the more she learns about him, the more she’s come to appreciate him…Unfortunately, Joseph is ready to turn everything upside down again, suddenly attempting to reinstate their engagement. Brigitte is far from eager to go back, but her relationship with Yuri is getting complicated. Not only that, but it seems her weak, no-name spirit might be something else entirely…!

When she doesn’t feel well, when there’s a test, when she doesn’t want to go to school... I take her place. I’m her replica. I’m not meant for anything else. But that changed when I fell in love. I wear my hair up so the boy I fell for knows it’s me. We skip school and promise to meet again tomorrow, and every day after. I’m her replica. Everything about me is borrowed and empty, but my heart is mine.
