From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated!

Fifty-two-year-old bureaucrat Kenzaburou Tondabayashi knows the standard reincarnation setup well enough—then a truck makes it his reality. When he opens his eyes again, he isn’t a hero or an adventurer, but Grace Auvergne: a young duke’s daughter destined to play the villainess in an otome game world.

The setting is familiar thanks to his daughter, who used to enthusiastically talk about *Magical Academy: Love & Beast* and its cast. With that secondhand knowledge and a lifetime of dependable “dad” instincts, Kenzaburou tries to navigate Grace’s school-life route and make something better of his new circumstances—even if his fundamentally gentle nature keeps getting in the way of acting like a proper villainess.
