From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated!
A lighthearted isekai comedy that plays with otome game tropes through the fish-out-of-water premise of a middle-aged bureaucrat accidentally becoming beloved while trying to be villainous.
After being struck by a car, 52-year-old civil servant Kenzaburou Tondabayashi finds himself reincarnated as the villainess of his daughter’s favorite video game! Committed to his role as the haughty and arrogant Grace Auvergne, Kenzaburou plays out Grace’s part in the game’s story… Except his kind nature and elegant Japanese manners accidentally turn the unlikeable Grace into the most admired girl in school instead.
