Every novel has the usual cast: a gorgeous heroine, handsome boys vying for her attention, and a homely best friend at the heroine’s side. Dani, an ordinary student and avid reader of internet novels, is all too familiar with these tropes. But she never imagined that one day she’d wake up at the center of one herself! Her new fictional world is complete with a beautiful best friend named Yeoryung, and four impossibly good-looking boys who all happen to be in her class. Dani is determined to stay out of the way and not get involved in the twists and turns of the plot. But is she really just the sidekick -- or is Dani actually the leading lady? Anything is possible in the world of a novel!

The brothers have been on the run for years after a mysterious enemy burned their orphanage down, and just when they think they’ve finally found a bit of respite, the appearance of new student Sooha changes everything!

Determined to finally live out her romantic dreams, she resolves to marry a real-life hottie this time around. But in her new world, “hotties” don't exactly meet her expectations. In fact, they look like absolute monsters—and the guys who actually catch her eye? They're considered hideous and total social outcasts! Undeterred, Cocolette sets out to snag her ideal man in Crown Prince Raphael. Yet even though they both fall for each other at first sight, the “hideous” Prince Raphael is weighed down by a dark past and cripplingly low self-esteem. With wedding bells still ringing, can Cocolette boost her prince charming's confidence enough to prove her love is real?

Gentlemen, I’m in Your Care, a vertical c-drama, will premiere on August 26. Adapted from the web novel Wu Ge Feng Pi Quan You Bing, Tie Tie Nv Zhu Jiu Quan Yu (五个疯批全有病，贴贴女主就痊愈). Source: MDL (Added to Summer Reverse Harem 2025)

webnovel synopsis: The five crazy people are all sick, and the heroine will be cured if they stick to her. The heroine flees, the world faces collapse, and Ran Zhen is drafted into the system as a soldier. The good news: she doesn't have to conquer the hero, nor does she have to follow the original plot. The system promises that as long as she stays long enough to deceive the world's consciousness, she will not only be freed but also given a large sum of money. The bad news: there are five male protagonists, each with a disease. Each of these men is more abnormal than the last in the plot, but fortunately, Ran Zhen doesn't need to be involved with them. She just needs to be a good employee and run away when the progress bar is full. But who knows— the insomniac boss falls asleep next to her. The face-blind celebrity catches her at first sight in the crowd. The woman-phobic rich second-generation kid grabs her and won't let go. The color-defective painter paints a blue sky and white clouds next to her. Even the analgesic boss No. 2 suddenly smiles after being slapped by her and asks her to do it again.

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...

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. Disclaimer: As usual I have not played any of the games.
