🚀 What Is “I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!” About?
Based on the popular light novel series written by Yomu Mishima, I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! follows the misadventures of Liam Sera Banfield, a man reincarnated into a futuristic, space-faring aristocracy.
After being betrayed in his previous life, Liam decides to live his second life as a true villain, embracing the role of an “evil lord” in a massive interstellar empire.
However, things don’t go as planned…
Despite his best efforts to be a tyrant, his clueless nature and unexpected kindness often make him look like a noble, just ruler—earning him loyal followers and admiration instead of the fear and terror he desires. His acts of “evil” somehow keep resulting in heroism, and he unknowingly rises to power in the most hilarious and unintended ways.
