10. Kenzaburou Tondabayashi (From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated)
Imagine you’re a 52-year-old Japanese civil servant, an exemplary family man, and you suddenly die only to be reincarnated as Grace, the spoiled teenage villainess of an otome game. Well, even though Kenzaburou is now in the body of a young noble girl, his brain and instincts are still 100% middle-aged dad. Instead of plotting evil schemes, he spends his days worrying about whether the kids at school are eating enough vegetables, offering sage life advice, and protecting everyone around him like a worried father. It’s a hilarious comedy that proves a good dad’s heart doesn’t change, even if you swap his body and universe.
