From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! - Season 1

Kenzaburo Tondabayashi is a staunch, 52-year-old bureaucrat until he seemingly dies in a traffic accident! He then finds himself reincarnated into the world of the Otome game.

It is only proper that Kenzaburo commits himself to Grace's villainous role in the original story. Unfortunately, decades of learned habits are difficult to break.

Grace, aka Kenzaburo, integrates himself into the student council. He may be an effective bureaucrat, but his resourcefulness and modesty are raising unnecessary love flags.

The day the students' familiars hatch arrives at long last. Meanwhile, in another world, two women must come to terms with the fate of a beloved husband and father.

Impressed by a rare accomplishment, the principal asks Grace aka Kenzaburo to participate in the Magic Exhibition.

Grace and Anna have both proven their worth time and time again. Unfortunately, there are those who insist on sowing division between them.

Grace's father returns after a business trip, but proves he doesn't know his daughter very well. However, as a fellow father, Kenzaburo understands that the man is trying.

Grace aka Kenzaburo invites Anna to stay at the Auvergne estate over the summer when it becomes clear she still needs to learn the ins and outs of high society.

When the student council gets trapped in a labyrinth, it's up to Grace aka Kenzaburo and Anna to save everyone.

Grace aka Kenzaburo goes incognito to visit the bakery that Anna's family runs, but Anna's mother quickly deduces Grace's identity.

The student council decides to put on a gender-swapping play with Anna in the lead role! Unfortunately, Anna overworks herself to the point of collapse.

The Elegance Cheat has a fatal flaw: Grace aka Kenzaburo can't perform without everything becoming unnecessarily fancy!
