Reverse Harem Garden

"Uroboros no Wa" ("Uroboros Circle") story by Kanari Youzaburou art by Keiko Yamamoto 2 volumes-complete Wakaba's school is being overran by a cursed letter which you must send out to two of your closest friends. I liked the beautiful, neat art. Although the story is short it managed to combine fun and sweet moments with disturbing and frightening scenes. The conclusion felt rushed though because you expect stories like this to go on a loop because the 'villain' won't just give up that easily. Thanks to Nor Liana Kamaruzzaman for recommending this.

Sadly it looks like there's no new reverse harem anime this season. But there's two Korean dramas for the winter line up: 'Star's Lover' which is currently airing and 'Boys Before Flowers' which will premier on January 5. We still have 'Shugo Chara Doki' from previous season and still on the lookout for 'Earl and Fairy'. Enjoy the holidays! UPDATE: The second season of La Corda d'Oro March debut still falls within the winter season. UPDATE 2: I'm not sure if LCDO is under winter or spring. :S

Here are some of mangas bordering on reverse harem. If a third guy appears then we're good to go. But if no one enters the picture it's okay, I'm still hooked into reading more of these two. "Rakuen Danshi" of "Beast Harem"- The only girl in an ex-all boy school but there are only two main bishies. V. smutty! UPDATE 1/3/10 already complete! V. abrupt ending and it's still a love triangle. "Black Bird" - It's about a girl who can see supernatural creatures. She then learns that they will all be soon after her. So far only two guys have appeared interested in her but look at that picture! UPDATE: 2/19/09 The Tengu Host Club had appeared ^_^

"Boy Before Flower" Teaser Trailer taken from coolsmurf. Peach Pit, the creators of Shugo Chara, is on hiatus with the manga and 2 others due to sudden illness. More info from ANN . A Star's Lover has been licensed by Japan for $2 million. More info from dramabeans .

From dramabeans : Edited to add poster translations: Jan-di (Gu Hye-sun): “ The Korean people are nothing without spirit and tenacity! ” Jun-pyo (Lee Min-ho): “ I’m good-looking… I’m tall… I’m rich… How can you hate me? ” Ji-hoo (Kim Hyun-joong): “ I’m peaceful, oddly fun, and always warm. ” Yi-jung (Kim Bum): “ I’m definitely cool, but I’m not a good guy. ” Woo-bin (Kim Joon): “ To me, the most beautiful love is friendship."

Here's the official posters of "Boy Before Flowers" which will premier on January 5. Pics taken from coolsmurf.

First Day of Christmas ~ Haruhi ~the most favorite heroine of all reverse harems. Second Day of Christmas ~ from Vampire Knight ~ Although the no. 2 is not in the reverse harem encyclopedia, Kuran and Zero are a popular wishlist. Third Day of Christmas ~ from Hot Gimmick Fourth Day of Christmas ~ from The Wallflower Fifth Day of Christmas ~from La Corda d'Oro Sixth Day of Christmas ~ from Ouran High School Host Club Seventh Day of Christmas ~ from From Fushigi Yugi Eight Day of Christmas ~ from Harukanaru Toki No Naka de Hachiyo Sho Ninth Day of Christmas ~ from Angelique Tenth Day of Christmas ~ from Neo Angelique Abyss Eleventh Day of Christmas ~ from Uwasa no Midori-kun Twelfth Day of Christmas ~ from Saiunkoku Monogatari

By ayreesa Remember Gogo Yubari of 'Kill Bill'? She's the pianist in the all-male band "The Tightsmen" in the movie "GS Wonderland". The movie premiered in Japan last month. Hiro Mizushima is also in the movie. I wonder if there's a romance theme to complete the equation of gender bender = reverse harem.

By ayreesa Summer Days 17 by Mayu Shinju Seventeen-year-old Ishimori finds herself alone with three boys for a summer trip. This is a tame oneshot by Mayu Shinjou. What do you expect ? It's a oneshot after all. XD There's no need for the pics of bishies because the mangaka always have the same style for the main man. Thanks Lolly for the tip.

The TV special "La Corda D'Oro ~secondo passo~" (subject to change) have been confirmed by the official website for spring airing. The story is a continutaion of 'Primo Passo' and with new characters: " brusque boy Etō, the new youthful school board director Akihiko Kira, and the mysterious transfer student Aoi Kaji . " More info from ANN .

Game Star posted that 'La Corda d' Oro 2 Forte' PSP game will ship out on February 26 and an anime is also in the works which is set to air on March. The game also introduces a new character named Eto. More info from ANN.

"Fun Fun Factory" by Yoshitomo Watanabe 4 volumes -complete Michuri eats the 'witch berries' dessert from Fun Fun Factory. She learns from the owner that if 10 boys also eat the 'curse a la mode' within 24 hours they will be cursed and become the servants of the witch who possessed her. The hunt for the possible servants is kinda slow but their characters and powers are amusing. There's also some kind of a shonen-ai going on within the reverse harem. I can imagine this as a kawaii anime like Shugo Chara with magical girl, bishies, nekos, and desserts that made my sweet tooth ache.

Here's peek of "Boys Before Flowers" in New Celadonia, New Zealand (and not in New York). The cast and crew are currently filming in Macau. More info from coolsmurf. Choi Ji Woo volunteers to lower her rate by 30% for the drama "Star's Lovers", to help the entertainment industry. Choi Ji Woo is the highest paid actress for television with 48 million won per episode. More info from coolsmurf .

By ayreesa "Heart no Kuni no Alice~Wonderful Wonder World~" by Soumei Hoshino 1 volume-ongoing Alice becomes a player of a mysterious game in Wonderland. There she meets an assortment of shady characters. Now with the anime being delayed, it's a good thing that at least the first chapter of the manga was scanlated. This small bit of the manga makes my heart pound with excitement for the anime with the popular seiyus, very cute art and clothes and bad, bad beautiful boys.

Juvenile Orion "Orion no Shounen" by Sakurako Gokurakuin 5 volumes-complete Mana Kirihara returns to her hometown and enrolls to Seika High. She unconsciously draws in 5 guys who have unique powers of their own. She learns that she has become part of the thousand-of-years-long secret war called "Aquarian Age". This is the spin-off of the male-oriented trading card game called "Aquarian Age". The introduction of the characters is such a draaaaag but the premise has a lot of potential. Each of the character has a kick-ass power and the villains looks cool as well. I'd love to see this as an anime. There is an anime and live version of "Aquarian Age" but no hints if there'will be for "Juvenile Orion".

This picture is aptly titled "Feast of Beautiful Creatures" from "The Wallflower".

"Hot For Teacher" or "Sexy Teacher" or "Who Slept with Her?" The exclusive Catholic school for boys gets racked with a scandal involving the new, vamp teacher and three students. Check the other alternative title. No fancy storyline, a few laughs here and there and packed with naughty innuendos. If you're more than 18 years old and you just want to pass time without racking your brains, then you might want to check it out. The actress is really oozing with sex appeal and although there's only one bishie, Kim Tae Yo is too much to handle. This is a Korean film that was released in 2006.

By ayreesa Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~ Sotsugyoshiki & 7 to 1/2 wa Special The story jumps back between episodes 7 and 8 to show Sano's version. He won't be the same Sano we knew. Two new characters also appeared in this timelime. The clue for one of the character is that he/she appeared in the Taiwanese drama but not in the jdorama. The story ends with the graduation of the three dorm leaders in continuity with the series. Oh how I missed Hana Kimi! The funny gags and the overacting of the ikemen and especially the formidable chemistry between Shun, Toma and Maki.

By ayreesa "Shugo Chara Doki!" is the latest addition in the animes that will be streamed in Crunchyroll an hour after it airs in Japan. They will release the English-subbed videos for free a week after the paid-users sees them. Crunchyroll will also stop accepting licensed videos from users starting January 8.
