The serialization of Mimu Oyamada's manga adaptation of Shakushineko's light novel series Lovestruck Prince! I'll Fight the Heroine for My Villainess Fiancée! (Betabore no Kon'yakusha ga Akuyaku Reijō ni Saresō nanode.) has officially concluded. Mag Garden's Mag Comi digital platform published the final chapter, marking the end of a manga run that began back in January 2021.
Series Background
The narrative originated on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō web novel platform, where author Shakushineko launched the series in March 2020. The source material was subsequently picked up for print publication by Mag Garden, featuring illustrations by Yukiko across three compiled volumes. For international readers, Cross Infinite World licensed and released the complete light novel trilogy in English, establishing the premise:
When Crown Prince Vincent announces their engagement is over, Elizabeth faints. What will become of House la Montlivere? Of her entire family? At the prince's side, the so-called heroine smirks. Elizabeth is doomed to a villainess’ fate… Only for the tables to turn when Vincent suddenly calls out the heroine for her misdeeds!
Jump into the story of an ill-fated but handsome prince as he fights for his darling fiancée, deflecting every attempt to turn her into an evildoer by any means necessary! They'll have their lovey-dovey happily ever after, even if it kills him!

Conclusion and Final Volume
Alongside the publication of the final digital chapter on Mag Comi, the tenth and final compiled book volume hit store shelves, rounding out the adaptation's print run. While the web novel concluded its main narrative arc in June 2021, it has periodically received epilogue updates, including a recent chapter depicting events a decade after the primary story.
