Synopsis:

A man’s desperate attempt to escape a blackmail scheme leads to an unexpected reincarnation. Forced into a vibrant, yet deeply unequal world governed by a matriarchal society, he awakens as Leon Fou Bartfort, a minor character within the very dating simulator he was compelled to play. The story follows Leon's struggle for survival, utilizing his intimate knowledge of the game’s narrative to navigate treacherous social landscapes and avoid predetermined fates.

The anime explores themes of agency versus predetermination, examining the difficulties of adapting to unfamiliar circumstances while grappling with a predetermined role. Its atmosphere blends elements of comedic absurdity with moments of poignant reflection on power dynamics and personal freedom within a meticulously crafted world. The series details his efforts to maintain himself physically and emotionally as he attempts to carve out a path for himself in a society built to overlook him.
