Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs offers a rather fun take on the Isekai genre. When an office worker finds himself reincarnated in the fantasy world of a romance game he had forced to play through for his sister, he realizes that he’s not one of the main heroes but instead is just one of the random “Mob” characters in the background. But with this new world where women are in charge, he finds living a peaceful life all the tougher to get to because he has to work from the bottom up.

It’s not the biggest Isekai anime that fans have wanted to see make its return with new episodes, but there’s a dedicated fanbase who can’t wait to see more. It’s because there’s an interesting wrinkle in it all introduced about half way through that puts Leon up against another reincarnated person, and we’re about to see more of that in action in the coming season.
