Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs (Manga) Series

A tongue-in-cheek jaunt through romance, giant robots, and dating sim jokes! (And don’t miss the original light novels, also from Seven Seas, and the anime!)

Thanks to some unfortunate gameplay, a young man named Leon has been reborn into the world of an alternate universe otome game. Facing an absurd scenario where males are no better than livestock who serve at the whim of women, Leon only has one weapon–his knowledge of the dating sim genre–to survive the challenges he faces and inspire a revolt against the system!

WAR IS HELL FOR SIDE CHARACTERS!

The war is looking hopeless, and if the situation continues as it is, defeat is inevitable! Thanks to Myene and other members of the King’s faction, Leon is assigned to be the fleet’s commander-in-chief, but will his genius, and Luxion’s incredible power, be enough…?

Meanwhile, Marie flees Leon, wailing that she has “lost everything!” and is enraged when Livia comes after! Facing off against Marie, Livia’s own worries only deepen…

SECRET PLOTS AND PRISON TIME!

Leon, the side character turned protagonist, has been arrested! For his own safety, so says Mylene. But perhaps nobody will be safe after Frampton and Hertrude make a secret agreement—the Principality will invade the kingdom and in exchange be granted valuable land! With our hero under lock and key, who can stop this plot, and the plot of the otome game Leon is striving to win, from coming to fruition?!

THE WORLD OF OTOME GAMES IS TOUGH FOR…ELVES?!

Leon has finally discovered that Marie has also been reincarnated to the game world, and that she knows the otome game better than he—in fact, she has taken the title of Saint from Olivia! But Marie still seems to be hiding something vital… Speaking of hidden things, the ruin to which the pair have fled suddenly collapses, revealing a whole other level to the game world, a level populated by beautiful, yet freakish, long-eared elves! As neither Leon nor Marie knows the new script, how will they be able to escape, or survive?!

FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE!

Leon defeats the Black Knight, and fends off the Principality’s fleet, only for the Kingdom to be merciful and let the Principality off with a slap on the wrist! Meanwhile, Julius and his boys conspire to put an end to Leon. Will they take their revenge before Leon can move from overturning the social order of the youth to overthrowing the entire power system of the world? With his almighty airship Luxion at Leon’s side, can anyone truly stop him?

ENTER THE BLACK KNIGHT!

All on his own, Leon rushes the enemy’s flagship and retrieves Angie and Gertrude! But before they know it, they’re surrounded by the enemy and unable to escape from the principality’s mightiest warrior, the Black Knight Vandel! And what developments are in store between Leon and Olivia…if Leon even lives to see her again?! Would a background character’s deletion even be missed, or can Leon soar to even greater heights?!

RULING CLASS TRIP!

Leon–trapped as a background character in an otome game–has made himself the center of the plot, and the center of any number of plots from rival boys and pretty girls. He tries to distance himself from the game’s heroines with the help of the almighty airship Luxion, but etiquette demands that he must join both girls (and his many enemies) on the class trip.

DOUBLE-CROSSED

Angelica has been working to patch things up with Olivia, but then she learns from the daughter of Count Ofree that Olivia has been forced to accompany Leon on his battle against the sky pirates! Can Leon prevail against his aerial enemies and save the kingdom, or is the whole campaign nothing but a plan by the aristocrats to eliminate both the heretical hero and the troublesome commoner girl?

SKY PIRATE ATTACK

Carla, a noble classmate, has come at Olivia’s invitation to ask for Leon’s aid routing sky pirates. The request should be no problem for Leon’s incredible power and almighty airship, but there’s something fishy about Carla’s plea. Can Leon survive a war against a skyfaring navy of ruthless pirates long enough to overthrow the very systems of the world? Can a side character become the most important hero of all?

MEAN GIRLS MEET BIG MECHS!

The prince and his posse get the smacketh downeth for being so head over heels for Marie!! The successive defeats of Julius and his gang send a cry of dismay rolling across the spectator stands. However, it makes no difference whatsoever to Leon. Now that the prince and his boys have lost, will they break up with Marie as per the terms of the duel? If you’re just a background character anyway, why not stir the pot a little? Give those goons who are so used to having their way a good kick in the butt! Death to all hotties! Nobody can stop this absolute heretic of a protagonist from going on an ass-whooping spree!

Deadly Duel

Marie has been flaunting her pursuit of Julius despite his engagement, and Angelica can’t take it anymore. She throws down her white glove and demands a duel! Unfortunately, the gesture riles up old antagonisms from Julius and his posse and Angelica’s own lackeys desert her. Unable to bear seeing Angelica surrounded by enemies, Leon accepts a five-on-one fight against his social betters on her behalf. Luckily he has an ally—the almighty airship Luxion!
