Synopsis:

Kenzaburou Tondabayashi, a mid-career bureaucrat, finds himself unexpectedly transported to the world of "Magical Academy: Love & Beast" after a traffic accident. He awakens as Grace Auvergne, the villainess daughter of a powerful duke within the game’s narrative. Familiar with the game's lore thanks to his daughter’s enthusiasm, Kenzaburou navigates this fantastical setting with a blend of pragmatic thinking and paternal instinct.

The series explores themes of identity, role reversal, and the challenges of adapting to pre-defined narratives. Kenzaburou's attempts to subvert his assigned villainous path create unexpected complications as he grapples with maintaining his inherent kindness within a world expecting malice. The story balances lighthearted humor stemming from this juxtaposition with moments of character development as Kenzaburou strives to forge his own destiny in this new life.
