Matsurika Kanriden anime airs this January 2027. Based on a light novel.
From ANN: The fantasy romance novels, inspired by Chinese history, center on the titular Matsurika, a court lady serving at the emperor's inner palace, who is known for her good memory. One day, she receives a request to serve as a practice partner for the marriage meeting for the son a certain noble house. But when she arrives to meet this noble scion, it turns out to be none other than Emperor Hakuyō himself. The emperor falls in love with her at first sight, but tells her to come to him once she passes the state's scholar-official civil service exam.
Most likely not a reverse harem but see below. Spoilers ahead.
The manga's first part ended in October, while the second part, featuring the Sāra Kingdom Arc, started last May. More details on ANN.
The first time I saw this photo, I thought, this looks like reverse harem! But I couldn't find anything saying it was. Then I saw the anime key visuals, which got me checking again, and still, not a reverse harem. But I double-checked the Sāra Kingdom Arc, and we may finally have something!
In the later volumes, around Vol. 8-11, aside from Emperor Hakuyō, there will be Shōkei (blond), who will propose marriage, and another good-looking character, Rānash (dark-haired). The manga's first part has ended and a new arc has started. So here's hoping it becomes a full-blown reverse harem manga with the abundance of bishies, and that the anime gets multiple cours/seasons!
Verdict: Kinda reverse harem. May or may not end up as full-blown RH.
Anime NYC 2026 Annoucements:
J-Novel Club has licensed the light novel Grinding My Way to a Happy Ending: If Only My OP Big Bro Didn’t Make Things So (Sister) Complex! More details on ANN.

Former office worker Reine is delighted to be reincarnated into an otome game as the beautiful protagonist Renee Wainwright. Or she was, until she realizes the game was notorious for hiding its romance routes behind a grueling grind. Worse still, she’s at the very bottom of the academy’s social ladder and on the verge of expulsion, all while she doesn’t even have the protagonist’s memories as aid. Fortunately, Renee’s tough previous life has sharpened her resolve. Armed with an iron will, she’s determined to climb the ranks, win over one of the love interests, and rewrite her fate. If only her elite and estranged older brother would stop inserting himself into every corner of his “amnesiac” sister’s life! Can Renee beat the odds and claw her way to the top? And what is that her brother seems to be hiding?

Here are the reasons why it might be a reverse harem or at least kind of a reverse harem:
1. Review from A.K.S. for the first volume of manga.: "No romances yet, despite the name of the series, but there are a couple of interesting boys at school. And Julius is behaving very unlike a brother, so he probably isn’t one and will turn out to be a love interest too."
2. The blurb for Vol. 5 manga: This fantasy romance, featuring a spunky reincarnated heroine and her cast of love interests in a magic academy, is perfect for fans of otome isekai, school-life shoujo, and reverse harem romance.)
Yen Press has licensed Make It an Eternity manga. It is also available on MangaPlaza and ebookRenta! More details on ANN.
Towako is a shut-in who lives a quiet life together with her older brother. But one day, her world is turned upside down when a gaggle of drop-dead handsome hosts suddenly stop by all claiming to be her brother’s friends! Then clothes begin to fly, and the mood gets hot and heavy… What on earth will become of Towako’s peaceful solitude?!
