Is there an anime?

Not yet. The Patron of Villains has no anime adaptation announced. Most series never get one, so the comic is the whole story for now.

What it is about

One day, I woke up as a noble inside the game I used to play. Unfortunately, the game ends in an apocalypse. With ten years left, I track down the future villains while they’re still kids and decide to raise them myself, hoping that a better childhood could stop them from destroying the world. Now, with criminals dropping like flies, the kingdom thinks I’m the terrifying mastermind pulling all the strings. What on earth is happening? I just wanted to enjoy the sweet noble life!
