Isekai Niches: Men in Otome Games

These manga contain hapless men thrown into the very girly world of a women's dating sim (a.k.a Otome game). Whether they're stuck in one as a heroine and have to date their way out, or are reincarnated as a side character (whether male or female), these fish-out-of-water stories usually play on gender roles for laughs.
