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

Summary: After a traffic accident, 52-year-old civil servant Kenzaburou Tondabayashi awakens to find he's become Grace Auvergne, a duke's daughter, and more importantly the villainess of an otome game. Not wanting to get in the way of the happy endings of the young characters around him, Grace sets out to play the role of the villain, but whether it's due to Kenzaburou's memories of being an affectionate parent getting in the way or not being able to remember those pesky foreign names properly, it ends up being a lot harder than it looks...
