do you or anyone else in this thread have a male harem manga that you wish got adapted? (into an anime or j-drama or whatnot) I've been meaning to get into manga more and it would be nice to see yalls faves!!
I've started from the basics and read
Akatsuki no Yona
and I love love love Yona so much holy shiiit!!! Funnily enough I ship her with Lili more than anyone else and my gay ass is still swooning over the vol 15 cover

@lakanakana Unbelievably My 2024 wishlist have Yona of the Dawn. I'm covering almost all reverse harem anime there is, Hopefully we can get together as a group and cross off few checks from the list !!!!!
ugh absolutely agree on the yona of the dawn comment?i NEED it to be picked up again it’s probably my favorite reverse harem even though i haven’t even finished the manga. i also lovee My Next Life as a Villainess All Routes Lead to Doom the main character is lowkey oblivious af and completely blind possibly to the point of annoyance for some people but i just thought it made the series funnier she has solid time with all of the love interests and i’m interested to see where things go (they also don’t spend thAt long as kids which i kinda prefer)
i also highly recommend
Dance with Devils
for pure entertainment purposes, it’s just so ridiculous that i love it
a fairly newer reverse harem that i loved was
Romantic Killer
it’s actually pretty good with a MC who is actually likable so i really hope there’ll be a second season but i’m not sure if they’ve confirmed one (it’s also a fairly quick watch)
and of course can’t forget to mention the one and only
Diabolik Lovers
the plot is so dumb and they’re all such big red flags but they’re so fine i can’t help it?
mostly have watched pretty mainstream ones so i don’t have many recs but ??if you haven’t seen those i highly recommend
omg I hadn't even heard of Dance with Devils before wdym mainstream!! ok maybe I'm just out of touch but I gotta check that out
I'm super worried about Diabolik Lovers tho lmao like I've heard that it's a total "hand in unlovable hand" type show but like are the guys toxic to the point of hilariosity or did it have you go D: all the time while still being like 😳😳🤔🤔😔😔🤔🤔😳😳😳😳😳🤔 internally?
HAHA dance with devils is a quick watch not the highest quality but a good one to sneak in for a laugh or two at the unintentional/maybe intentional ridiculousness of it
and diabolik lovers most definitely can be summed up by those emojis LOL like i know i shouldn’t enjoy it but they just had to make the characters hot of course and yeah it’s pretty one sided romance fjfnfnf it’s the type of show you don’t read for the plot or character development
aight so two shows for me to check out without any high hopes lol
OMG i forgot maid sama technically could count as a reverse harem ish? that’s one of my absolute favorites! i saw that it’s on your plan to watch i would definitely watch it (i know the title sounds weird and there are a couple times where the ML kinda crosses boundaries he shouldn’t but if you can look past that then i HIGHLY recommend) there’s like absolutely 000000 zero no netorare from either sides none at all despite it technically being a reverse harem though so if you’re only into like multiple romances between the MC and love interests then it’s not the show for you but if you like a hot possessive yandereish guy and smart strong minded tsundere girl then you’ll love it!! i recommend watching the first 4 episodes before deciding if it’s for you!
