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

 Weeeelllll, time for a new romance comedy show!

And it is an isekai this time round, in which the hero is reincarnated into a... dating sim.  With magical girls.  And Mecha's.  And a cool opening theme!

They sure make the premises always go stranger and stranger hehe, but I don`t mind, I like the genre as some relaxing viewing.  But so let's dive into this isekai build around an otome game!

Officeworker Leon get's reincarnated in a dating sim where women reign supreme, and men are only allowed in sight if they are really beautiful.  But Leon remembers the game from his previous life, having completed it.  He becomes the master of an AI as he was send to retrieve it's core, gaining great wealth and joining the academy.

At the academy, he meets the characters from his otome game, he meets Olivia, a lower level girl, helping her get introduced to the most popular girl of the class.  But during a dungeon exploration, something seems off with a girl called Marie.  She seemingly influences game mechanics, putting Leon on the backfoot in his knowledge.  Angelica challenges Marie to a duel, and Leon steps in to be her champion and find out more about Marie that way.

Marie has 5 champion mecha warriors, ridiculing Leon and his lumbering Arroganz relic mech.  Until he pummels all his opponents out of the duel that is... and gets a promotion as a result.  Shortly after though, he has to stand in for one of the champions in a hoverbike race.  He wins it, causing people to even hate him more.  But one of the noble girls that really despise him, tries to force Olivia into betraying him and Angelica.

They get attacked by the Sky Pirates, but Leon stands up to them, recovering a powerfull necklace he is looking after while coming to Livia's protection together with one of the five heroes, Brad.  But then Hertrude of the Fanoss Kingdom attacks, an event not supposed to happen before the end of year three.  This results in the capture of Angie, while Leon is tossed in jail.

He rallies the other students to fight, as the Farnoss forces prepare to attack in one hour and kill them all.  But as they decide to blast the ship out of the sky instead, Livia intervenes unlocking her full powers as the Saint, while he captures Hertrude. So the Black Knight is send after him, the most poweful mecha pilot around.  But Leon overcomes him, taking a huge amount of spoils with him as a result.

This was a fun series for sure, and I look forward for a second season of this, even though it isn`t one of those mainstay series.  It's just what it is: a fun isekai show.
