Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.“This world is actually an otome game.”
On a certain day, Shiori was told an outrageous fact by her cousin, Kazuto. It turns out he has memories of his past life and his little sister then had played this certain otome game. The heroine in the game would capture hot-looking guys one after another in the school Shiori’s attending. And it turns out Kazuto was one of the capture targets! He asks Shiori to stop the heroine from capturing him.
From then on, Shiori runs left and right in the academy since the very first day, searching for the heroine’s whereabouts and her next movement. However, it seems Shiori is also triggering events one after another just like the heroine…!?

One of the most logical and down-to-earth (at least, on a shoujo scale) FL from an otome game setting I have ever read! She can think by herself and is not swayed by looks only.
I mean, she does think the targets are beautiful people, but she doesn't fall in love at first sight
you can’t help wonder where it will go and what to think of the « heroine « who « plays game with real people the setting is quite vivid and despite the thematic being overused, it gives a really refreshing variation leaving you with quite a few questions - let’s hope it will keep lots of options opened :)
Seems to be heading towards the Kazuto route. (Older cousin who is a reincarnated individual)
BUT because so many people are picking up the in*est label like it's on sale, I feel like adding my two cents & quoting the analysis I wrote in the spoiler thread:
✨*They're not siblings (1),
Kazuto hasn't grown up with Shiori (2) He lived till 12-15 y.o with his own family in another city, when his folks died he spent ~3 years with Shiori's folks and then got an apartment from grandpa & went to uni.
Kazuto has already lived a whole life as someone unrelated to her (3) in 'the real world'.
I know there are some countries that frown on relationships between cousins (Japan ain't one of them btw) but with those 3 points above, there is no real squick factor unless someone superimposes their relationship with their own cousins on these characters.
✨*Niisan, gege and oppa, etc. Are a cultural thing for which we don't really have an equivalent. YES, it means big brother. But it's also for young men you're close to! Many asians call older women they're close to auntie. If you become attracted to a Ning-jiejie from Class B you're not really crushing on your older sister. She calls him Kazu-nii because he is a young man who is a cousin & close friend. I don't know if this will change but by chapter 29 she never thinks of him as her brother, never refers to him as her brother. Again, there is no real squick factor unless someone superimposes their relationships on these characters.
Next, power imbalance you say?
✨*Kazuto likes Shiori but he hasn't told her because he's letting her have a childhood and adolescence.
(Quote from chapter 29: "Give it all you have with what you can only do right now. If you don't enjoy life as a kid while you are a kid, you'll regret it later.")
✨*For the most part, he's a teacher when he needs to be and an friend when he can. Yes, he messes up sometimes, but he's only human.
So far, Kazuto's acted like a person whose younger relative came to work in the same company. 80% professional, 10% forgetting you're at work and 10% volunteering them for the 'coffee runs' because if you can't trust your little cousin with your coffee order, who can you trust?
So we have a ~16y.o girl who is slowly (1000% slower than reality because it's shoujo romance not josei) discovering romance & an older male relative (degree of relation +/- close, based on how you interpret him having lived this whole other life before meeting her & in his second life, meeting her only in his teens) who is in love with her and wants to give her space to grow up (normal. Healthy) but doesn't want to lose her to any h**ny teenage boy (possessive but relatable).
