Ikemen Sengoku: Toki wo Kakeru ga Koi wa Hajimaranai

Otome games (sometimes shortened to otoge) are visual novels with a female protagonist, multiple male love interests, and story choices which lead the player down one of many routes towards a romantic ending. At their core, otome games are romance stories; however, they frequently feature an overarching side plot that is revealed slowly across each route.

Titles in this stack are sorted by most recent. Sequels and specials of TV anime are omitted. Where I've seen both the anime and played the VN, I've tried to give a brief description of what was covered.

So in 2023, I decided to challenge myself to watch all the anime based on otome games or with a game adaptation even if that isn't a good anime in the end.
I will try to play all the games even if they are just available in Japanese.
I want to share this publicly because I found that aren't that many stacks with this kind of theme and as an otome lover I need to do my job here (my English is trash sorry)

ps.: I will do the same for manga because normally manga is superior
