Description

Dad Becomes a Villainess Kenzaburo Tondabayashi, a 52-year old bureaucrat, gets hit by a truck and awakens as Grace Auvergne, the villainess in his daughter Hinako's favorite otome game, Magical Academy: Love & Beast. As Kenzaburo's politeness clashes with Grace's cruelty, the characters he interacts with become confused. Using his knowledge about the game from watching Hinako play, Kenzaburo tries to role-play as a villain to the game's protagonist, Anna Doll, but cannot break away from his polite etiquette and instead, Grace becomes friends with Anna on the way to the entrance ceremony at Royal Magic Academy. Virgile Vierge, the crown prince and one of Anna's love interests, approaches the two and becomes friends with Anna. After the ceremony, Anna sits next to Grace in class and encourages her to work hard. Meanwhile, Virgile and head of student council security Auguste Lion discuss who they want on the student council and Virgile puts a recommendation for Grace and Anna. At lunchtime, students are tasked with serving themselves, which several students are unwilling to do having been served by their servants, but after seeing Grace carry the food in an elegant manner and complementing the chefs at the end, the other students follow Grace's lead.
