Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs

Aired: 2022

A TV anime produced by ENGI, based on the light novel series by Yomu Mishima, published by Micro Magazine under the GC Novels imprint, with illustrations by Monda. Originally from "Shosetsuka ni Naro," the series has exceeded 4.5 million copies in circulation. Leon Fou Bartfort, a former working adult, is reincarnated into the world of an otome game filled with swords and magic. It is a world of extreme female supremacy where the only exceptions are the handsome men led by Crown Prince Julius, the game's romance targets. Despairing as an oppressed mob character, Leon uses his "knowledge" of the game—which his sister forced him to complete in his previous life—as a weapon. Meeting the heroine Olivia and the noblewoman Angelica, he rises against the odds while countering the schemes of fellow reincarnator Marie. 12 episodes. Main cast includes Takeo Otsuka as Leon, Kana Ichinose as Olivia, Fairouz Ai as Angelica, and Ayane Sakura as Marie. Music by Kana Hashiguchi and Sho Nitta. ©Yomu Mishima, Micro Magazine / Mobseka Production Committee
