Modern Villainess: It’s Not Easy Building a Corporate Empire Before the Crash (Novel) Vol. 05

“THIS YOUNG LADY SAVED JAPAN’S ECONOMY!”

Overwhelmed by the post-9/11 political world, Runa takes a shot at attending school! There, she tries kendo, student council, and even acting onscreen.
But as subprime loans pique interest at home, a new global economic crisis takes root. Meanwhile, the Iraq War unfolds, and pandemonium erupts worldwide! Will this junior-high villainess’s watchful eye prevent a financial fiasco?!

Series Overview: When the economy collapses in September 2008, an exhausted career woman’s fate is left in flux…until she’s reincarnated! Now she’s Keikan Runa—the villainous daughter of the Keika Group—in an otome game set before the pop of Japan’s economic bubble. Keika Group’s financial situation isn’t great: they’re on the verge of ruin if left unchecked.

However, Runa is determined to save both Keika Group and Japan through risky, smart investments. Thanks to an interest in cold hard cash, knowledge of future technology, and her awareness of Japan’s real-world future doom, Runa might just be able to nip the looming economic collapse in the bud. Witness the rebirth of Japan’s economy as Runa uses her knowledge to save her new present from the future!
