One of the otome game-themed anime, but the MC is male. Usually the MCs of anime with similar themes are mostly women.
Although some have criticized because the visuals are not as good as in the manga, I still enjoy this anime. (I hope there will be a continuation and maybe there will be improvements in the visuals)
you're right, almost all otome titles usually have a female protagonist. i really liked the visual design, i haven't seen much of the manga but it didn't seem like a big difference between the two, i'd really like a second season.
