About the Series
Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs is based on the light novel series by Yomu Mishima (story) and Monda (illustrations). The first anime season premiered in Spring 2022. It is available for streaming on Crunchyroll and is summarized as follows:
Selfish office worker Leon has a problem: he’s been thrust into an otome world where men are treated as little more than animals. Competing for the attention of women against other handsome suitors is not his idea of fun, especially when all he wants is to relax. However, he’ll play their little game and even start a revolution if that’s what it takes for him to gain some peace!
