At least right now I wouldn’t call it a harem. The Mc just talks with mostly females but there are still some other male characters.

All the female mc’s at least right now have people they love none of which are the mc

this not a harem, it's a subversion of harem nd also have harem troupe. there's lots of difference between them. But if you want simple minded answer then it is a love-polygon, simple.

The story isn't finished. If "average joe surrounded by cute girls" isn't enough to turn you away, then you'll just have to risk the possibility that it goes the harem route later on so you can satisfy your fear of missing out.

Not a harem. Not even really a romance right now. Just a wholesome story. Haven’t read the LN so maybe it’ll turn out to be a harem but I doubt it.

If it is a harem, just watch where it goes untill you have your judgement pistol ready to fire.

As someone mentioned above it’s basically a love polygon. I recommend you don’t avoid it as it still has plenty of development to cover.

I've seen a pretty accurate description for Makeine from a thread asking a similar question : "It's the friendzone club". So no, it's not a harem anime. If you're still not sure, you could check out the previous thread

no, it is not a harem, it has a few jokes here and their, but it's definatky just a straight out romance. no other character gets close to the MC. only 1 girl for him and 1 girl actively trying to get him.

it's not, but I've read every chapter after the anime ends, and at no point does it point or lead towards any other girl chasing him

@Itzbouncy so in other words , only blue haired girl is in love with the mc and other girls have their own love interest right?

@Itzbouncy And that could all change in the very next volume, so until the story ends without a harem, it's too early to tell.

sure, it can. but considering how many chapters are already out, and their being little to no attempt at a harem so far, it would be very strange to shift to that this late in a series, when the main 2 are looking more at the sexual side of a relationship now. it would have to be one of the biggest fumbles at a romance anime to shift gears and become a full blown harem.

this thread is about the dangers in my heart? (I can't remember as I'm on the phone app, where it don't show you what anime is attached to the thread)

if it is, then no, it's not a harem. only one girl likes him, and only he likes one girl. their are a few jokes here and there about her being jealous that he's talking to another girl, or a girl having to pretend he's her boyfriend etc, but no, no actively seeking girls other than the main girl trying to get with him.

ahh I see, man I've posted on to many forums today 😅 as for this anime/manga, so far, it's not a harem, so I was somewhat still right. the jokes are mostly about rejection, and they are actually quite fresh jokes for a romance anime, as its not the same old comedy bits like In most romance. but the mc is kind of more just their to pick up the peices of all the girls who get rejected. probably will be 2 girls minimum that fall for him, Kind of the vibes I'm getting from the manga. but I'd probably say it will have at least a love triangle minimum, but it's definatly a fresh air to romance anime, probably the best romance this season. in fact a lot of the anime is not in the manga, the manga skips bits. I believe the anime is following the light novel 😅 I'd recommend giving the first 3 episodes a go at least

More like anti-harem since the girls around the MC are romantically interested in other guys instead of the MC

@Zarutaku
glad to see i'm not the only one who's been calling it an anti-harem haha

@ op: Not a harem.
However, before you dive in, if you don't like harems because of the tropes and clichés associated with those, consider if you'd like an anime that both subverts but also leans into those. Because makeine might be an anti-harem whose comedy is often derived from making fun of harem stereotypes, but it is also very much a love letter to the genre.

@tragedydesu I say give it a go. In this case just watching the first episode is already a good litmus test - if you don't like that one you won't like the rest either, no need to spend more time on it than that.
Fwiw, i'm also not a big harem fan, although for slightly different reasons, and have found makeine to be hysterical. None of the usual frustration i'd get with harems and every episode has made me laugh out loud at least a few times.

@tragedydesu If you hate a bunch of girls fighting over the MC then this series isn't gonna be offputting to you at all, the whole gimmick is the 3 main girls got dumped but are still hung up on the romantic crushes, the MC kind of just happens to be there on the side and casually befriends them but its kept platonic. Like frankly the series feels more tailor-made for people who are frustrated by love triangle tropes cause its mostly poking fun at how awkward a lot of series are about it. The "suspense" over the romance with the MC feels like its more whether his relationship with the main girl will actually go that direction or if they will just be best buds.


Like completely honest here as someone that sort of echoes what your saying about why you don't like harem/triangle stuff, this show is cathartic more than anything its pretty self aware and got some damn good jokes especially love how childhood friends lose alot.

Nah I don’t think it’s harem but the mc is surrounded by girls interested in some other guy, I would rather say it’s opposite of harem in some aspects.

@Zarutaku i enjoyed some few harems when i was still new to anime now i can barely deal with a love triangle lol
i gave up on that genre a long time ago

btw liking some few characters don't mean liking the whole show , i love Rem but hate rezero i love Onodera but hate nisekoi ...

I saw a comment ealier saying that it's a Monogatari-type of harem which is quite accurate, but if i have to compare it to other works, I'd says it's Hyouka with wacky characters. Though, instead of solving mysteries, the MC helps in solving the problems of the girls around him, be it intentional or not.

For now, I'd say it's not a harem, none of the FMCs are that interested in him to actually make a move and date him. Only time will tell, or rather, only LN Vol. 08 will tell us whether any romantic development happens at all that the MC will actually recognize.

Not a harem, it's a subversion for rom-com genre. Characters represent tropes for losing girls (like how characters in Konosuba are tropes for isekai). Blue hair, childhood friend, gremlin, types that don't win.
And has love triangles, but they have 1 winner.
The winner MC are also tropes for rom-com MCs, like glasses, nerdy, dense with a childhood friend that they won't pick.

Kazuhiko is watching a bunch of generic rom-coms just after their end game. He's there to be a support character, but acts as POV for the series.
