Previously, we saw an anime adaptation based on the novels Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs. The series had a formal premiere on the main networks in Japan on April 3rd, 2022, and Crunchyroll streamed it overseas. We learned during Christmas 2022 that a second season was coming, but it’s been quiet since then.
With a formal July 8th, 2026, premiere date set recently, the production has updated with a return to its character pairing visuals, this time for Mylene and Julius.

The show has Kazuya Miura on board to direct with Kerita Ihara handling the series composition. With Masahiko Suzuki handling the character designs, the animation production is being done at ENGI.
The returning Japanese cast includes:
- Takeo Ōtsuka as Leon
- Kana Ichinose as Olivia
- Fairouz Ai as Angelica
- Ayane Sakura as Marie
- Akira Ishida as Luxion
- Kenichi Suzumura as Julius Rapha Holfort
- Kōsuke Toriumi as Jilk Fia Marmoria
- Shinnosuke Tachibana as Brad Fou Field
- Kōji Yusa as Chris Fia Arclight
- Nobuyuki Hiyama as Greg Fou Seberg
The project comes from writer Yomu Mishima and illustrator Monda. It began in 2015 under its original name of Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai Desu.
Seven Seas is publishing the series for the first time in North America in print and on digital platforms in single-volume editions.

Plot Concept: Office worker Leon is reincarnated into a dating sim video game, where women reign supreme and only beautiful men have a seat at the table. But Leon has a secret weapon: he remembers everything from his past life, which includes a complete playthrough of the very game in which he is now trapped. Can Leon spark a revolution to change this new world order?
