๐ My Top 3 Otome Love Interests (That Iโd Say Yes to in a Heartbeat)
Some characters leave an impressionโฆ and then there are these three โ the ones who completely took over my soul and set the standard way too high. Each one had me smiling like an idiot, gasping over plot twists, and kicking my feet over every line. Here are my ultimate favorites:
โค๏ธ #1 โ Oda Nobunaga
(Ikemen Sengoku)
The warlord. The legend. The emotionally unavailable menace who becomes the most protective and loving man in the whole game.
He starts off rough, intimidating, and impossible to read โ and thatโs exactly why I fell so hard. His route is dramatic, layered, and SO well-written. The chemistry is electric. Every moment with him had me like: โI fear no man, but this route had me in tears and butterflies.โ
Heโs 100% the โmain manโ of Ikemen Sengoku for a reason.
๐ธ #2 โ Eisuke Ichinomiya
(Kissed by the Baddest Bidder)
A billionaire playboy CEO with a vault full of money and daddy energy?? Yes. Please.
Eisuke starts out like every clichรฉ in the book โ arrogant, teasing, dripping in wealth โ but when he falls for the MC, he falls hard. His romance feels over-the-top in the best way. Like, โDid he just buy me an island to say sorry?โ kind of vibes.
His route is indulgent, wild, and so much fun. A dream, honestly. A really rich one.
๐ฆ #3 โ Kuranosuke Kiba
(Oops, I Said Yes?! )
The literal perfect husband. Mature. Loyal. Real. Romantic.
Kiba gave me butterflies from the very start โ and not just the fantasy kind. His route felt grounded in reality while still being swoon-worthy. He wasnโt just a love interest; he felt like someone you could actually meet, someone you wish would walk into your life and say, โIโve got you.โ
Heโs protective in a quiet, steady way. His story was emotional and spicy, and he 100% earns the โfictional husband of the yearโ award.
