Heartful Kareshi by Moa Hato - 16 chapters - completed Hiyoko Tosoka is the only human in the very prestigious Saint PigeoNation Academy. The pigeons have pseudo human appearances.  I liked the premise of being the only human in all-pigeon school which is like the play of the usual only girl in an all-boy school. But aside from that there's basically no driving plot in the story. It's more of a slice-of-bird-life than a reverse harem per se. But this is based on the otome or visual novel dating sim and it's popularity led me to reading it. It’s confusing to track who’s who even if they have human representations and different personalities. But I have to admit they’re really cute in both in their pigeon and human forms.

The term "three males" is a generic word for these three suspicious characters. First, the two are really old for the little girl. Like maybe centuries old. Second, the other two can transform to their female forms. Yup, optional. And it's weirder that transforming to their animal forms is much more natural over their female forms in the reverse harem setup. And third, only two fit the the bishonen bill.        Another major factor why it's not a reverse harem is that the anime is not a shoujo, so I was debating if I really need to blog about it but I can't just let i...
