Sakura, a shut-in gaming otaku, rescued an old man who turns out to be the leader of a yakuza! The clan leader was so impressed by her actions that he declared to his three grandsons, “Whoever wins Sakura-san’s heart will be the next clan leader!” And so, she was surrounded by three handsome Yakuza brothers; The gentle eldest son, the delinquent second son, and the level-headed intellectual third son. Gokusuma Days is an exciting manga that was ranked number one on the manga reader app Palcy (palcy.jp), a heart-throbbing four-way love story between an otaku and three handsome Yakuza! Let the “Yakuza Harem”, start!

Ghost Reaper Girl manga goes on hiatus due to the worsening health condition of its author, Akissa Saike. Source: ANN Not a confirmed reverse harem, but I see people labelling it as reverse harem. This is shonen and available on MANGA Plus and currently on licensed print.

Chloé has dreamed of leading a glamorous life as an actress ever since she was little. But being the ripe old age of 28 might be working against her, and her spontaneous displays of violence aren't helping either! Not all hope is lost, however—she might be perfect for the role offered by a mysterious and charming new man in her life. Can Chloé become the Ghost Reaper Girl and take down the evil spirits that have escaped from Hades?




Another shonen on MANGA plus that I see being called a reverse harem too is Witch Watch. Not a confirmed reverse harem and also on licensed print. 

Morihito Otogi’s family is descended from a long line of ogre familiars, and he has the inhuman strength to prove it. One day, his father comes to him with the life-changing news that he is to become the familiar of his childhood friend, the teenage witch Nico. He is to live under the same roof with her and protect her from anything and anyone that may attempt to harm her. Meanwhile, Nico is excited to get to live with the love of her life, even if her crush is one-sided—Morihito is so serious about his duties to protect her that any romance is going to be an uphill battle. But he has every reason to be serious, as Nico has a prophecy of doom hanging over her head!

Book Review: Spearwood Academy Volume 2

  Spearwood Academy Volume 2 Episodes 6-10 by A. S. Oren Avalon gets through her first test in Spearwood Academy with flying colors...in gold scales to be exact.

But there's still a lot of questions unanswered and more questions are being unraveled as the academy seems to have bigger plans for her. Warning! Spoilers ahead.

Reverse harem is not an exact science. Fans may have a different interpretation of what reverse harem is. Now, this a tale of two otomes turned animes from Winter 2015 who just didn't quite feel reverse harem at all. And  I thought it was going to be the best season ever. Boy, I was wrong.  Prince of Stride: Alternative- 12 episodes Nana enters Honan Academy to join the stride club.

Reverse Harem Anime Catch-Up Marathon: Nil Admirari, Yume 100, Dame x Prince, Scared Rider Xechs and Magic-Kyun

My marathon started in March of last year with two seasons of B-Project , fourth/last season Uta Prince No Sama and  Phantom of Twilight . I usually blog my review before I start with watching the next anime but at the rate I'm going it will take me forever to get it all done. I decided to watch the remaining anime one after another without blogging and I finished it all by December. The last time I had this marathon was from the time I first discovered reverse harem. But unlike before, this time I feel like I was losing my mind and I'm going to quit watching reverse harem anime for good.  Well almost. The only way for me to blog all these anime would be in one go...again. I'm just going to keep 'em all short.

All-Time Top Ten Reverse Harem Anime

Hello Wallflowers! I am not going to do a decade in review since I did that already a couple of years ago. but I am loooong overdue for my top 10 anime. I actually made one coincidentally a decade ago but it's a consolidated top 10 of everything from anime, manga and dramas as the titles are fewer back in 2010. I should have done it sooner but it's the nagging feeling that I should finish everything before I can post this. What if there's a hidden gem in my backlog that piled up beginning 2015 (due to pregnancy)?  Fast forward to last year and major life events later, I have finished nine anime in eight months. It felt like forever. And after that, I found out I could actually start the list even without watching the backlog. LOL But the good thing is I was able to finish it and that has put off a lot of guilt feelings from me. I mean who blogs about reverse harem and never watches past the first episode??? Sadly, I don't remember most of the story of the anime...
