Trapped in a Dating Sim unveils new trailer

On the official website of the anime adaptation of Yomu Mishima's otome game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu (Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs), additional cast members, staff, a new key visual (see image), and a second promotional video were released. The series will premiere on April 3, 2022, directed by Kazuya Miura and Shinichi Fukumoto. Studio ENGI is in charge of the animation.



The video features a battle scene where Rion, the third son of a former Japanese baron, is reborn into the world of otome games and attempts to use the knowledge from his previous life to succeed.

The series, written by Yomu Mishima, currently spans 8 volumes published in Japan. Seven Seas Entertainment has translated the light novels and manga adaptation for English-speaking regions and describes the first volume as follows:

Office worker Leon is reincarnated into a dating sim video game where women hold the upper hand, and only handsome men get a seat at the table. But Leon has a secret weapon: he remembers everything from his past life, including a complete playthrough of the game he's now trapped in. Can Leon start a revolution to change this new world order?
