Media
Light novels
J-Novel Club first announced it had licensed Sexiled in North America for a digital release in August 2019,[2] However, on November 16, 2019, during J-Novel Club's Anime NYC panel, it was announced that they would also be releasing print editions of Sexiled and My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!.[3] The light novel was inspired by the manipulation of test scores at Tokyo Medical University, which was brought to light in August 2018, where in it was revealed that the university had deliberately lowered entrance exam scores of female applicants by 10-20% in order to keep the number of female students below 30%.[4][5]
