if by AOE awaken you mean "aura" then I gotta say that it's like, way weaker than awaken and not as versatile, it takes time and it only makes people hornier, plus the smarter and stronger willed one is the less it works on them and beings with the slightest of magical defenses (so 99% of feys and some humans) will just not be affected by it, it's said in the game itself when the ability is explained and we see it in effect in the school gameplay, so yea, no insta nuke threat level there
the MC has yet to use awaken on any men, but from all his grandfather has said I would imagine that he can, since he doesnt throw away the possibility, plus the fact that like, nothing suggest it wouldnt work on men, and all common sense suggests it would I'd imagine it would
