Synopsis

Kenzaburo Tondabayashi, a 52-year-old diligent public employee, died after a traffic incident… Or that was what’s supposed to happen. When he wakes up, he finds himself reincarnated as a character from the world of the Otome game that his daughter loves, “Magical Academy Love & Beast”. He is reincarnated as Grace Auvergne, the villainess who obstructs the love life of the game’s protagonist, Anna Doll. And so, Grace Kenzaburo tries to act like a villainess just like how the original Grace was. However, due to his life experience, he views Anna through the eyes of a parent and gives her advice. Along with his “Elegant Cheat” which translates his plebeian manner into something elegant, he inadvertently raises his popularity and raises the flags of the capture targets. The weapon you need to survive in another world is not swords or magic, but the Old Man Skill that one has cultivated through living in society!

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
