Ever since Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games Is Tough for Mobs dropped its first season back in June 2022, fans have been buzzing with questions about a second season. This isekai gem, packed with snarky humor, romance, and a wild take on otome game tropes, hooked viewers with Leon Fou Bartfort’s chaotic adventures. So, is Season 2 actually happening? Here’s everything we know so far.
Is Trapped in a Dating Sim Season 2 Confirmed?
Good news: Trapped in a Dating Sim Season 2 is totally happening! Studio ENGI, the folks who brought us the first season, spilled the beans on December 26, 2022, via the anime’s official X account. They even shared a cool illustration of Leon and his snarky AI sidekick, Luxion, drawn by character designer Masahiko Suzuki. Fans lost it—in a good way. But since that announcement, updates have been quieter than a mouse in a library. Let’s dig into what’s out there.
When Will Trapped in a Dating Sim Season 2 Release?
As of June 2025, we’re still waiting for an official release date. No trailer, no teaser, nada. Looking at the first season’s timeline—announced in November 2021, aired in April 2022—production took about six months. If Season 2’s in a similar boat, we could see it hit screens by late 2025 or maybe early 2026.
Who Will Be in the Cast of Season 2?
No official word on the cast yet, but it’s a safe bet the main crew will return. The first season’s voice actors nailed it, so why mess with a good thing? You’ll probably hear:
-
Yusuke Kobayashi as Leon, the grumpy mastermind.
-
Yumiri Hanamori as Olivia, the sweet game heroine.
-
Yurika Kubo as Angelica, the ex-villainess with a heart of gold.
-
Yusuke Shirai as Luxion, the AI with zero chill.
-
Atsumi Tanezaki as Marie, Leon’s sneaky sister.
What Will the Plot of Season 2 Cover?
The first season of Trapped in a Dating Sim adapted the first two volumes of Yomu Mishima’s light novel series, following Leon Fou Bartfort, an office worker reincarnated into an otome game world where women hold power, and “mobs” like him struggle to survive. Armed with his knowledge of the game and the cheat item Luxion, Leon navigated the political and social intrigues of Holtfort Academy while clashing with his reincarnated sister, Marie, and disrupting the game’s script.
Season 2 is expected to pick up with Volume 3 of the light novel series, diving deeper into Leon’s challenges. According to Anime Corner, the story will focus on Leon’s imprisonment by political rivals, with the neighboring Principality of Fanoss launching an attack on the Holfort Kingdom. Leon must decide whether to save a kingdom that betrayed him, all while facing new threats and unraveling Marie’s schemes to manipulate the game’s love interests.
