Ryotaro Dojima...... For a long time i want to play an otome with romanceable ojisan...... It's gonna be an interesting storyline about a detective living with the weight of burdon around his dead spouse and obsessing about catching her killer, struggling to raise his daughter because the way he buries himself with his works.... Imagine romancing a tired old man with nothing but the past defining his life, being there for him and gradually being his reason to live his life in the present....

TRUE

For me, without a doubt, it's Camille (Arknights) and Luuk (Wuthering); both have been my character obsessions for quite some time now.

 

[xaioblack]

I would like to see cu chulainn as LI or any type-moon characters tho

 

[rita2sexy]

I would definitely want to see Qiuyuan from wuthering-waves as love interested he quiet pretty very much gentleman even though his personality is tad mysterious I wouldn't mind my second definitely scar from same franchise he like yandere not too into yandere men but he one I'll accept him being yandere love interested ( ´-｀)

 

[초콥콥]

I really like obsessive yandere characters The male lead in Firefly's Wedding, Shinpei, is totally my type, so I want to date him

 

[osanajimimi]

All the male chara from genshin impact

gojo satoru

oikawa toru

 

[MikuMikuni]

I'm thinking of several so I shan't list down all their names but the characters I'm thinking of are from gacha games (Hoyoverse, WuWa, R1999), FE series, Final Fantasy series, DMC and from ORV (including the constellations)

Although not a romantic partner, I would like to be friends with Billy from Zenless Zone Zero. Being friends with Billy should be very enjoyable every day.

All the guys from HSR.

Severian and Seth from ZZZ.

 

[Tamamo Sama]

I'd pick Kazehaya Shouta from Kimi ni Todoke! I really like the kind of romance where two people slowly get closer through small, ordinary moments rather than grand gestures. I think his route would be full of those little scenes that somehow end up meaning everything to you. I'd eat that up so fast

 

[anibroco]

Rin from Blue lock... jeje

 

[vonvonv]

Crystal exarch from ff14! He's so sweet and gentle..

 

[chuubiey]

Suichi Saihara (DanganronpaV3), Nagumo Yoichi (Sakamoto Days) , and i think Tamon's B Side would be interesting to be Lis (⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)

 

[shuubaruotaku]

either nozomi madoka from enstars ooorrrr moze from hsr! i love em both..

 

[eevee09]

For me, I would love to see the following as love interests:
- Zhongli (Genshin)
- Sukuna (JJK)
- Nanami Kento (JJK)

HEAVY on Nanami. That man deserves love.

 

[O cha]

Gojo Satoru!! I love him so much I would genuinely love to date him. I love him so much that I even get a little jealous of Geto for being the person who had such a huge impact on his life... (It's not that I dislike Geto at all! I'm just THAT obsessed with Gojo )

Apart from the anime characters, when I play idol-themed dating simulations, I don't understand why only the idol (LI) can be romanced, while the male manager next to cannot.

 

[Moonstone22]

Ahm.. Kurapika

 

[Karoliuxx]

Whenever i watch good anime i find so many characters i wish were in a otome game. Like Levi from attack on titan, Gintoki from gintama, Ginko from mushishi etc...

 

[TheGreatTwinkLover]

The guys from Onmyoji....they have some of the most gorgeous guys ever. Like I'd kill for a game where Orochi, susanoo, sp susabi, tsukuyomi, yato no kami, fuken, fuzoukozen (and a bunch others) were romanceable

 

[deluluscious]

maybe characters from sports anime and manga, like haikyuu, kuroko no basuke, free!, and many more (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

 

[Moonstone22]

Childhood Crush Ash from phantom brave

 

[failedwebsite]

I had a huge crush on Tsuzuki Asato from Yami no Matsuei back in the day, so him.

This might sound a bit weird, but this thread made me think longer about the extent in which I'd self-insert in a game. I play otome games from a 3rd person POV and general MC/LI shipper perspective because I'm a dude and I feel a general disconnect to the MCs, but somehow the idea of my favorite non-otome characters in an otome game premise makes me dig the idea of self-inserting more even if realistically I'm not the target audience. I think I'm discovering new things about myself here.

Anyway, now that I thought about that, I have a lot of guys that come to mind and I don't want my post to feel like a grocery shopping list, so I'll try to keep it relatively brief. I think the general pattern here is a combo of childhood crushes and current crushes:
- Corbeau (Pokémon ZA)
- Dante (Devil May Cry)
- Hershel Layton (Professor Layton. yeah.)
- Chrom and Libra (Fire Emblem Awakening... listen, I know Fire Emblem games are just shipping simulators these days but a guy needs a full-blown romance game on top of the war)
- Oczy (Orb: On the Movements of the Earth)
- Gai and Jugglus Juggler (Ultraman Orb)

Sorry for breaching 2d containment with tokusatsu guys but in my defense, tokusatsu shows have a lot of handsome men who'd make great (or horrendous! that's fun too) date options in my opinion.
