This is a listing of titles from stories not related to or based on otome games, covering everything from anime to books of any country. Be aware that many are liable to be mature in content. I shall try to add most of whatever people say to this post when I am not especially busy. Oh, and here is the list of anime based on otome games, if that is what you were looking for, instead: CLICK~

It is up to debate, but I personally only consider harems to consist of three or more characters around the protagonist, but you can list your favorite stories with only two rivals in love. I simply shall not include them if I am aware of that because they increase the supposed number of harems significantly. I mean, I can think of some ten English books off the top of my head that have this type of thing going on.

'The Wallflower' though Its official Japanese name is something like - Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge

HANA YORI DANGO - Or just simply Boys Over Flowers

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Though it does have a game

FUSHIGI YUUGI

Though for English would The Hunger Games official work ? lol. They both want her   And i'm pretty sure down the line there was someone else...But his name leaves my memory..



Though erm hmm *cough* Vampire Knight *cough*

[Lilwyn]

So far you have all the ones i like though there is one that isn't on the list
La Corda D'oro (Kin Iro no Corda i think) is a manga and has an anime though wasn't very fond of the anime :/ Plenty of good looking guys with different personalities.
Also does Inuyasha count? There were atleast 2 that i know off the bat that liked Kagome. Im pretty sure there was a third but i just can't remember atm maybe just thinking of little Shippo lol...
as for an english book with a semi harem thing going on is the House of Night series. So many guys interested in mc and her being interested too.
I felt like i knew so many but nothing is coming to mind right now other then whats already listed

[Aiwethryne]

Ah, I'm not adding anything related to otome games here. Kin'iro no Corda was released as an otome game and manga at the same time. It's in the anime adaptations list~

I've never watched Boys Over Flowers, but I remember reading it was something like that. Yeah, I'm torn how to name these things because I always type out the titles in whatever language that I remember them as. I muuust add all of the... something Ramyun titles, since they always have several guys and one girl. There are plenty of K-dramas that have harems of some sort. =w=;; I'll try to think of more of them before I edit them in.

[LadyAyaRose]

You know I completely forgot these but I don't know if you wanna add the Angel series by L.A Wetherley or The Vampire Diaries..I loved reading those two.

Speaking of vampires does True Blood count? I used to watch that I sort of stopped after I ended up missing several episodes. ...[ponders] And I think I lost count the amount of lovers that woman (name has left my mind) had.

[Aiwethryne]

Sure, I'd add those, but I have no clue what they are about. One of the most mature things I watch on tv is a show about a succubus... She has obviously had so many lovers, even if she only likes one of them at one time or another. If she really wanted to, she could control an army of mindless men and women to... do everything she wants.

Spoiler  Hidden:

Even her mother had a man-toy army.

It's, like, o.O everywhere I look. Reminds me I have a recording to watch.

[LadyAyaRose]

Lol I hate Lost Girl.....I mean seriously a succubus is to go after men only .an Incubus does women.... So let's add going after women to try and get more viewers ..... Such fail Excuse the rant haha

I really like my myths and legends to be right and that...Like I rage when I see a female centaur etc...Im werid like that. Hence why I stopped watching that silly program lol

[Persona]

Wow I love True Blood too LadyAya   The amount of men who love her is silly.
I used to like her being with the main vamp but now with the Fairy guy there I prefer him lol. But feel sorry for the other vamp dude though.

Wait a minute now there is a fairy love interest? Wait what lol this woman sure 'puts it out' .... I really need to either read around or start watching again Haha.....Last time I watched it she was with the blonde one...I think....

And I can't believe I forgot to mention my current fave manga...

Barajou no Kis -----Kiss of Rose Princess.


Completely forgot the guys liked her and even have their 'mini' fights

[Aiwethryne]

I thought that Lost Girl was ridiculous since the beginning because they made EVERY mythical beast a human. No effort in giving them costumes. Since I am totally into reading about the fey, seeing these things really bothers me. But I am curious what will happen next, and I know that they made it a loose interpretation because they know that no matter what they do more fanatical viewers will freak out over anything they put.

And I laugh at all the gratuitous amounts of mature scenes they have every couple episodes.

[LadyAyaRose]

I only managed to watch Lost Girl for approx a few episodes....I only heard about the Succubus doing women too by a friend who actually stopped watching it because of that.
Its like that show is done really poorly and its trying to save it self by doing mature scenes...lesbian scenes Every chance it gets...Ah that shows makes me laugh and angry at the same time   I'm in a way glad I got out of it...

If you want to do a supernatural show...Please do it right...At least the Buffy series and the Charmed series did it right  

[Magna Carta]

I never liked Lost Girl either. I read its description and was like nope. Not for me.

And speaking of Buffy isnt that a reverse harem. Lol. What was it Angel - Constantly will still love. Spike - Werid love. Riley - Bit on the side? If I'm wrong please ignore me.  




And is Secial A classed as a reverse harem as I thought everyone has their own partner in the end?

[LadyAyaRose]

I wouldn't regard Buffy as much as a reverse harem...Its romantic plot line is more on the second hand bit...Like Icing to an already made cake or whatever....But anyway speaking of that 'Spuffy' all the way. Hahaha...But then again she is surrounded all the time by male vamps that want to

Hug her[un-quote]  

Special A = Woman surrounded by alot of good looking guys = Harem = Eye Candy
It would also fall in line with Code Geass as half the time that is classed as a harem....*rolls eyes* Yeah true they have their *Set* lovers which is told more about in the manga...But I would class it as a harem anyway. Because of how I  summed it up earlier. Hahaha....Besides harems is this one gender surrounded by more of the opposite gender..And last time I counted I'm pretty sure their are more males in that than females  

[Persona]

So really looking at this list and stuff. There is quite a long list of different harems out there. Think its time to sit down and watch a few.
Well when I look up if the foreign ones have dubs.  

[LadyAyaRose]

Most majority of them are. Special A is the most recent dub of a 'male harem'. And I must comment that one guys voice is so deep it kind of made me laugh. Though but I like him as a actor as he pulls of the comedian side very well.

Though some of those are still in manga form.
