An anime adaptation of Toko Amekawa‘s Reincarnated in a Mafia Dating Sim has been announced to be in development.
Originally a web novel that debuted on Shosetsuka ni Naro in 2022, Reincarnated in a Mafia Dating Sim (Akuto Ikka no Manamusume, Tensei Saki mo Otome Game no Gokudo Reijo deshita. ~Saijokyu Rank no Akuyaku-sama, Sono Dekiai wa Fuyo desu!~) is also available as a TO Books-published light novel and manga series. Tokyopop’s synopsis of the Sora Goto-drawn manga reads as such:
When the granddaughter of a yakuza boss is reincarnated as Francesca Calvino, the heroine in a mafia dating video game — set in a fantastical world where crime bosses serve the king — she knows what to expect: another ill-fated life without friends. But thanks to her upbringing, she’s already hatched a plan. By expertly navigating the game’s main story, Francesca will leave the world of organized crime behind for good!
First on her agenda: break off her engagement to the notorious Leonardo Aldini, the young head of the Aldini family and major villain of the game. But after breezing through her kidnapping without a male lead in sight, Francesca proves herself to be a little too good at taking Leonardo on. Not only does he still wish to marry, but he won’t leave her alone.
How is Francesca supposed to live a normal life while being pursued by an insolent crime lord?
