Someone who actively seeks multiple love interests, the more the better, and usually makes no secret of it. Often used as a twist on the [[Unwanted Harem]] concept.
Line 8 ⟶ 7:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Ataru of ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' fame makes this actually ''[[Unbuilt Trope|older]]'' than the harem anime genre.
* Ken from ''[[SeitokaiStudent noCouncil's IchizonDiscretion]]'' is pretty much the poster child of this genre. His stated objective from the beginning is that he is building a harem from the student council.
* Makoto from the ''[[School Days]]'' anime, though he doesn't want the girls to be his harem so much as he just wants to [[Casanova|goink all the girls he can]]. [[Reality Ensues|With fatal consequences.]]
** [[Reality Ensues|With fatal consequences.]]
* Variation: Hachibe from ''[[Ai Kora]]'' is only this because the ''traits'' he's seeking are spread out over several girls.
* ''[[Iono the Fanatics]]'' provides a [[Girls Love|female]] version with Iono, who has succeeded to the ''tens of thousands of haremettes'' level. That's an order of magnitude more than [[The Bible|Solomon]].
** The kicker? She has a place in her heart [[All of Them|for each one of them]], including the women she made promise with years ago. This can't always be said of people who are this trope in real life.
* ''[[Macademi Wasshoi|]]'': Sakuma Eitaro.]]
* Yamada of ''[[B Gata H Kei]]'''s [[Catch Phrase]] is "I want 100 [[Friends with Benefits|Sex-friends]]".
* Walker of ''[[Durarara!!]]'' might qualify. In one scene, he rescues a girl from some thugs that kidnapped her. He [[Pyromaniac|sets the thugs on fire]] while rambling about being an anime hero and wanting a harem ending.
** Introduced later on in the series is Rokujou Chikage, a man who's actually [[Sexy Man, Instant Harem|reasonably successful]] in his goal of having multiple girlfriends at once. He owes his success to [[Chivalrous Pervert|being open]] [[Ethical Slut|and polite about it]], [[The Dulcinea Effect|putting entirely too much effort into making women happy]] regardless of whether he expects to sleep with them, and [[Biggus Dickus|packing something special below the belt]].
** And Masaomi is always gushing about polygamy, and at the very least he had a crush on Anri while still being hung up on Saki.
* You probably wouldn't expect this trope to pop up in ''[[To Love LOVE-Ru]]'' of all places, primarily because [[Ordinary High School Student|Rito]] is about as far from being a [[Casanova]] as you can get. And you'd be right; it's ''[[Loveable Sex Maniac|Momo]]'' who inverts this trope in a stunning display of [[Genre Savvy]] by acknowledging that she's unlikely to win Rito away from the lead females and instead starts plotting for a [[Tenchi Solution]] between Rito and his [[Unwanted Harem]] (herself included, of course).
** The weird thing is, her vision of the harem includes Saki (who is in "love" with Zastin) and ''[[Brother-Sister Incest|Mikan]]''.
*** Basically, it includes every single named female in the series. Given that it was Momo who [[Imagine Spot|imaged]] that scene, the only truly odd part was that Yami wasn't included. It ''did'' include every other female character who Momo had even briefly met up that point.
*** Mikan is specifically part of Rito's harem, at least in Momo's eyes, despite implications.
* When [[Single-Target Sexuality|Kuroko]] of ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'' hears rumors that her onee-sama has clones running around, she gleefully fantasizes about constructing a harem of [[108]] Mikotos. Note that there are actually around ten ''thousand'' of the clones,<ref>Exactly 9,969 clones who are biologically the same age as the original Mikoto, 1 who's younger, and an uncertain number who are biologically older.</ref> a fact that might ''literally'' blow Kuroko's mind if she learned of it. Mikoto, for her part, has quite wisely kept their existence hidden from Kuroko.
** Aggravated when Kuroko met Mikoto's mother.
* Played with in ''[[High School DxD]]''. Issei does wants to have an harem (he ''was'' drafted into Rias' service under the offer of him getting his own harem someday, after all) and repeats that claim often and loud, but he is hilariously unaware on how almost every female (and the occasional [[Gay Option]]) who interacts with him in a daily basis [[Chick Magnet|wouldn't mind to join it if he asked]].
