Supporting Harem: Difference between revisions

Line 18:

* Pictured above, ''[[Zero no Tsukaima]]'''s "Louise The Zero" is not just the title character, but also connected to the protagonist [[Red String of Fate|with a magical contract]] [[A Magic Contract Comes with a Kiss|sealed by a kiss]].

** Not to mention he confessed his love to her on the second season, {{spoiler|and they even got married at the end of ''F''}}. It doesn't stop three more girls from joining in the third season.

* ''[[Clannad]]'' made it very obvious in the first scenes who was the main love interest, and the harem concept was entirely dropped during the first season anyways.

* ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' made it very obvious in the first scenes who was the main love interest, and the harem concept was entirely dropped during the first season anyways.

* ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'' has Moka as the only girl Tsukune clearly loves. The other girls try but there's nothing they can do.

** Until someone suggests the [[Tenchi Solution]], that is. Other than the [[Official Couple]], everyone thinks it's a great idea.

Line 31:

* Similarly subverted in ''Ichigo100%''; while Junpei does initially express feeling in Satsuki, Tsukasa, and Aya, it becomes clear that Aya is his primary love interest. {{spoiler|In the end, he chooses Tsukasa instead}}. Fans weren't happy.

* Gender-inverted in ''[[The Wallflower]]'', where it's blatantly obvious that the only real love interest for Sunako is Kyohei, especially when all the other guys get love interests of their own and begin trying various ways of getting Sunako and Kyohei together.

* ''[[To ~~Love~~ Ru]]'' started out as this, with Lala and Haruna getting all the screen time, with [[Word of God]] claiming they were intended to be the main focus of the story. However, as time went on, more girls were introduced and screen time evened out and it became much less clear who Rito would choose (it was a bit Lala-centric at first); in other words, it evolved into a [[Balanced Harem]].

* ''[[To LOVE-Ru]]'' started out as this, with Lala and Haruna getting all the screen time, with [[Word of God]] claiming they were intended to be the main focus of the story. However, as time went on, more girls were introduced and screen time evened out and it became much less clear who Rito would choose (it was a bit Lala-centric at first); in other words, it evolved into a [[Balanced Harem]].

* Another gender-inversion is ''[[Marmalade Boy]]'', where from very early it's clear [[Not Blood Siblings|Yuu]] will win, no matter how much Ginta and the others try. At least [[Pairing the Spares|they get their own girlfriends]]. It's also a straight example from Yuu's point of view. It's [[Love Dodecahedron|that kind of show]].

* ''[[Mayo Chiki]]'' has Subaru as the clear lead girl. How clear? [[Even the Girls Want Her|Even the other haremettes love her!]]
