The Cursed Letter
Once, there was a beautiful young woman who was the face of a certain café.
She fell deeply in love with one of its customers, and it seemed as though they were destined to live happily together.
But fate had other plans.
One day, she discovered the man secretly meeting another woman at the very same café.
Consumed by heartbreak and resentment, she returned to the place where the two lovers met.
There, she left behind a single letter...
Afterward, both of them met a tragic end.
When she was finally found, her once-beautiful face had become so twisted with grief and hatred that it was almost impossible to recognize her.
Even now, it is said that the spirit bound to that letter still wanders this café, unable to let go of her lingering grudge.
Take care not to become caught in her curse...
The spirits, longing for more visitors, continue to leave their feelings behind within that very same letter, waiting for someone to discover them.

Villainess Academy Is Now Open!
A mischievous kouhai is hopelessly in love with her senpai.
Desperate to catch his attention, she can't help but tease him every chance she gets.
She wishes she could simply tell him how she feels...
But instead, she keeps picking on him, wondering if he might end up disliking her.
Even so, she can't stop.
After all, she absolutely loves seeing her senpai flustered. (^^)
The playful kouhai is full of energy again today!
