He may have reincarnated as a villain—but with his natural warmth, everyone is falling head over heels for this older gentleman!
When Soichiro Kanzaki, a man nearing fifty, is reincarnated in another world, he discovers that he has become Zephal: the devastatingly handsome villain prince from his favorite novel.
Easygoing by nature, Soichiro has neither the nerve nor the desire to play a coldhearted tyrant. Yet the soothing warmth he radiates soon makes allies and supposed enemies alike devoted members of Uncle Soichiro’s fan club.
Over cups of tea, he gently eases the trauma carried by the prince, knight, and wealthy merchant’s son who were meant to oppose him. When he discovers the cruel circumstances awaiting the story’s saintly heroine, he uses the full authority of the royal family to protect her—with strict respect for boundaries and absolutely no tolerance for harassment or abuse of power.
After offering that same care to everyone around him, Soichiro finds himself speeding straight down the route where the whole cast adores him.
Our peace-loving older gentleman will keep doing his best today as he searches for the quiet, slow life of his dreams!
