The upcoming From Bureaucrat To Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! follows Kenzaboro Tondabayashi, a 52-year-old civil servant whose life takes a bizarre turn after a fatal traffic accident. The series is also known as ‘The Old Man Reincarnated As A Villainess.’

Awakening in the body of Grace Auvergne, a duke’s daughter and a villainess in his daughter’s favorite otome game, Kenzaboro must navigate his new reality. Unfamiliar with otome games, he uses his practical experience as a salaryman to adapt to this aristocratic fantasy.

From Bureaucrat To Villainess Episode 1 will likely begin with Kenzaboro’s untimely death and his unexpected reincarnation as Grace. Adjusting to the stark differences between his former life and Grace’s role, he will resolve to fulfill her antagonistic duties.

However, his instinctive use of kindness and social savvy will often undermine these efforts, leading to humorous and unexpected interactions with the game’s characters. Viewers can anticipate lighthearted moments as as Kenzaboro’s real-world approach to problems contrasts with the fantasy world he’s now a part of.
