Synopsis – Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Oji-san

Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Oji-san takes us along with Kenzaburou Tondabayashi, a 52-year-old Japanese civil servant who suddenly finds himself reincarnated in the body of Grace Auvergne, the villain of an otome game played by his daughter.

Confronted with this surreal situation, Kenzaburou now in Grace's body, is plunged into a world of confusion. Although he knows that he should embody an arrogant noblewoman typical of otome games, the disciplined and benevolent nature of the mature man he once was makes it impossible for him to adopt such an attitude. Instead, her calm and amiable aura allows her to befriend the game's heroine and conquer the hearts of the student body, becoming an unexpected model of elegance.

While trying to keep the game's story on track, Kenzaburou must draw on his years of professional experience, impeccable Japanese manners, and family values to fit in among the game's young characters. This unique experience highlights the humorous and sometimes touching contrasts between her former adult life and her new existence as a noble girl in a world of otome.
