## Story
The protagonist dies of illness and is reborn as Celine, the villainess of a popular novel: a spoiled, fat and widely disliked character.[5](https://odebuakujo-anime.com/) As the story stands, a miserable death awaits her, killed by the prince just as the novel describes.[5](https://odebuakujo-anime.com/)
Celine vows to reform herself with all her might, wanting a peaceful life in this world, and begins to struggle toward that goal.[5](https://odebuakujo-anime.com/) Her efforts are supposed to bear fruit, but she instead finds herself caught up in unexpected doting and obsession.[5](https://odebuakujo-anime.com/) The series is described as a fantasy love story about a reincarnation in another world where she is loved too much by a yandere, a character whose devotion turns possessive; the "final boss" prince of the title, Wilfred, embodies that obsession.[1](https://isekai.fandom.com/wiki/Odebu_Akujo_ni_Tensei_shitara%2C_Nazeka_Last_Boss_Oujisama_ni_Shuuchaku_sareteimasu) • [2](https://anitrendz.net/news/2026/09/30/the-final-boss-prince-is-somehow-obsessed-with-the-chubby-villainess-reincarnated-me-reveals-new-visual-trailer-more-cast/) Promotional material for the anime pairs the premise as an "ex-chubby villainess" meeting a "dangerous charmer."[5](https://odebuakujo-anime.com/)

## Place in the villainess genre
The series belongs to the villainess and otome-isekai current in Japanese romance fiction, in which a protagonist is reborn inside a novel or game as its antagonist and works to escape that character's bad ending.[1](https://isekai.fandom.com/wiki/Odebu_Akujo_ni_Tensei_shitara%2C_Nazeka_Last_Boss_Oujisama_ni_Shuuchaku_sareteimasu) Its distinguishing premise is the heroine's body type: the reincarnated Celine starts as a chubby villainess, and the title's hook is that the story's most dangerous male character, the final-boss prince, fixates on her rather than on the novel's original heroine.[5](https://odebuakujo-anime.com/) • [2](https://anitrendz.net/news/2026/09/30/the-final-boss-prince-is-somehow-obsessed-with-the-chubby-villainess-reincarnated-me-reveals-new-visual-trailer-more-cast/)
