Please change your tags. This is not an otome! It requires at least the option of a female protagonist/mc to be an otome, even by western, potentially more inclusive, definitions.
Hi there! Thanks for being kind in your commentary.
In my experience, the term otome (at least in the west) has expanded to include multiple genders for both MC and love interests, such as with the Arcana game.
I will add the tags you suggested to make it clear that this game is different from a classic otome, but I don't see a reason to remove the otome tag.
I don't agree. While yes, an otome can include multiple genders as the protagonist, but the moment there is not female MC available to choose from and no male LIs available then that doesn't classify as otome. Even the Otomejam is very clear on what an otome is
Going great so far, Dev, looking forward ot the completed piece. The art is hella cute! Also, @Hurrem, Otome = “An otome game (乙女ゲーム otome gēmu?, literally "maiden game") is a story based video game that is targeted towards the female market.
So yes, it is, and they have no need to remove the tag because you are wrong. Don't be a douche.
No, you are wrong. Otome is universally known for having a female main character and male love interest. And you even cherry picked the Wikipedia quote:
"An otome game (乙女ゲーム, otome gēmu, literally "maiden game"), is a story-based video game that is targeted towards women. Generally one of the goals, besides the main plot goal, is to develop a romantic relationship primarily between the female player characterand one of several traditionally male characters. This genre is most established in Japan, and is mostly made up of visual novels and simulation games; particularly dating sims and life simulation games."

Gay otome? Is this a joke?
Heya!
I think you tagged your game wrong. Otome game means reverse harem. Female MC and male love interest.
I think the correct tag would be gay, LGBT and yaoi.

otome=GIRL MC included, always . No girl mc as option=this is not an otome. I search by tag and don't want to see unrelated things especially yaoi
