Kadokawa’s BookWalker Global website releases the manga chapters in English under the name I Was Exiled as a Villainess! I Am Now a Sister Living the Good life Through a Culinary Reform, and it describes the manga’s story below:
“Thank you for the exile! Elizabeth, who used to be a noble lady, starts her slow life at a rural church. However, a knight came after her…and he seems to be in love with her?!
Elizabeth was known as a villainess, but in fact, she was a decent and honest girl. But she was accused by mistake, found guilty and exiled…but she accepted her situation. That was because…she had her memory from her previous life as an event planner in Japan, and she knew what was coming. She was in the Otome game world she loved!! She started enjoying her life as an apprentice to sisters at the Church of Nortia, which is located in a rural village. And she doesn’t have to follow the story from here!!
Now Elizabeth can use her skill from her previous life to make her life easier. No one’s noticing, so this will be OK, right?
But then, the knight commander moves close and tells her he’s watching. What does he want?”
