Interview with Michiro Ueyama – Mangaka of From Bureaucrat to Villainess

----

What I’m writing here isn’t a word-for-word translation of the interview. I just jotted down some cool stuff about the manga and the mangaka that I got from reading the interview using MTL. Heads up: there’s a minor spoiler near the end!

• Akuyaku Reijo Tensei Ojisan (From Bureaucrat to Villainess) is a manga by Michiro Ueyama and it's still on going. It actually started as a short comic on Twitter, where it got 160k likes, which led to it being serialized pretty much right away.

• Ueyama said Kenzaburo’s "old man" personality comes from his own experiences and memories, but Kenzaburo isn’t based on him. He’s more like Ueyama’s idea of the "ideal uncle"

• Kenzaburo’s design is based on what men in their 50s looked like when Ueyama was a kid in the 1970s

• To figure out what stories younger readers might like, Ueyama checked out a bunch of Isekai manga—not just the "villainess" type

• A lot of Isekai stories he read had a pretty dark vibe. He thinks that’s because most Isekai stories are about being super overpowered or having cheat abilities, which gets repetitive after a while

• Ueyama became interested in "villainess" stories because of their polite tone and beautiful art styles. He felt they had "soothing" vibes that made it easy to get into the story

• Michiro Ueyama: "In manga aimed at younger audiences, older men are usually the bad guys—creepy (sexually harassing teenagers), bullying, or just plain awful. But as an older guy myself, I know plenty of decent older men out there. I wanted to show more of those kinds of respectable adults."

• SPOILER: Ueyama plans to give the story a happy ending. He feels it wouldn’t be right for Kenzaburo to die and leave his wife and daughter behind

• He also finds it hard to write revenge-type stories where characters get what’s coming to them. He thinks Tensei Ojisan is so well-liked because people are tired of seeing negativity in real life and don’t want to see it in their entertainment either

• Ueyama hopes that Tensei Ojisan can be enjoyed by people who don’t usually read Isekai or villainess stories and maybe even get them into the genre

• Some Isekai villainess stories with "healing" vibes recommended by Michiro Ueyama:

1. My Next Life as a Villainess

2. Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte

3. The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior

Read the Bureaucrat to Villaines manga and it's SO much fun to read how did nobody thought of this trope SOONER

I love how the author didn't make Kenzaburo into weird creepy old pervert and actually wrote him as a proper (otaku) middle age man whose fussing over how to be a good villainess because he IS one but he can't do it properly because he's so sweet and wholesome

Love the whole otaku family that's going on too, an otaku dad and an otaku mom makes an otaku child I absolutely adore Hinako

And the way Kenzaburo is turning Grace back into that wholsome sweet tiny child she was before she was given Etiquette Education without even knowing? Crying tears of joy omg

(Manga spoilers!!) And I also wonder what the cage meant we see Grace in during the dream Kenzaburo had. Maybe that IS the real Grace and her conciousness is trapped inside her head and can't get out because Kenzaburo is currently in HER body so she can't use her body in anyway.

Current opinion is 9/10, the worldbuilding progress is slow in a good way. We get to see Grace's past and other's History that isn't worth mentioning in the original timeline I really like it. Can't wait for the rest of the manga to get translated and animated

It's rare that an anime ED alone sells me on a show having no prior knowledge of it, but Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan or From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated is every bit as fun and charming as its ending. Fans of the Villainess subgenre have been eating good recently, but most of the stories don't feature a 52-year old man being the one reincarnated as the titular villainess challenging fate.

Finding himself a new life as the noble Grace Auverne, Kenzaburou Tondabayashi puts his years of experience as a civil servant to good use navigating the politics and school life of his daughter's favorite otome game-- and in the anime ED, tearing up the dance floor to famous historical drama actor and singer Ken Matsudaira's 1994 theater song "Matsuken Samba II", dressed as ostentatiously glittering and golden as Matsudaira himself performing his famous samba singing shogun.

[aorish]

In his previous life in modern-day Japan, he was Kenzaburou Tondabayashi, a 52-year-old civil servant—and now he's the villainess! Reborn as Grace Auvergne, the drill-haired villainess of an otome game his daughter used to play, Kenzaburou is quite confused.

i guess it's not terribly surprising that isekai became the designated transgender manga/anime genre but im glad they're finding new ways to get weird with it

For us, when we were similarly devastated by how hard “ILWV” dropped the ball, we managed to find a series that partially filled that void: “The Old Man Reincarnated as the Villainess”

Wordy title aside (if it gets translated we severely hope they change it to “Old Man’s Villainess Reincarnation” or something) it’s a shockingly wholesome and funny series…!

The basic premise is an older social worker got reincarnated into the villainess of his daughter’s favorite romance game… but he SUCKS at being a villainess! A lot of the story is him trying to slyly push the game’s MC to a love target, but failing so miserably everyone (including the original protag) just pays more attention to him instead!

It doesn’t have nearly a focus on romance as ILWV, and we do feel it’s cast is a bit too pale (though ILWV has the exact same problem), it’s a generally very sweet, enjoyable read.

(Also the original game’s MC Anna has a ridiculous baby gay crush on the MC, if that’s a bonus)

Yeah sorry to be the one to inform you about this, but yeah, Claire’s main maid is in an incestual relationship with her brother. It’s actively compared to how lgbt relationships are not accepted in society and… yes, it ruins a ***lot*** of elements about the story. Like that moment where they actually sit down and talk about Rei being gay? Rei said “I’m not the only one with relationship troubles…” and it’s referring to the maid being into incest. The second half of the story heavily features a (magically induced but still) murder alter system, and the “problematic” alter gets erased from existence in the triumphant finale…

Well... goddamn... at least now ik
