The show has ended. Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss But I'm Not the Demon Lord concluded its run on March 26, 2024, after its first season aired on Tokyo MX.

Villainess Level 99 is an anime series that originally premiered in January 2024. It is set in the Varschein Kingdom, where dark hair is highly stigmatized. The story follows Eumiella Dolkness, a daughter of a count who is despised from birth due to her pitch-black hair—and who is secretly the hidden boss of the game world. The series depicts her efforts to avoid becoming the hidden boss and to keep a low profile, despite her extraordinary level 99 magic abilities and her appearance that makes her stand out. When she enters the magic academy, her powers come to light, causing upheaval in the kingdom and suspicion from the original heroine that she might be the demon lord.

The series is a fantasy anime that explores themes of identity, power, and social stigma. It was a short but engaging story about a girl trying to find peace in a world that judges her by her appearance and abilities. The narrative combined elements of magic duels and political intrigue, with a focus on Eumiella’s desire for a quiet life amid chaos.
