May I Ask for One Final Thing?, Vol 1
by Otori, Nana
Scarlett Elberia is not your typical scorned noblewoman who retreats into exile with her tail between her legs. After being dumped in front of high society by a prince who thinks he has discarded her like trash, Scarlett chooses a different path: she delivers a brutal beatdown to everyone responsible for her misfortune. This manga is a masterclass in cathartic revenge, trading the usual slow-burn political maneuvering for high-octane, physical satisfaction. The pacing is relentless and unapologetically aggressive, making the reading experience feel like a tense, high-stakes showdown where the lead character holds all the cards. If you are tired of passive protagonists and want a heroine who solves her problems with a sharp tongue and an even sharper fist, Scarlett will become your new favorite. It is dark, dramatic, and intensely gratifying for anyone who loves watching a villainess take back her power.
