15 Best Reverse Harem Anime That You Should Watching Update 04/2024

Best Reverse Harem Anime

Reverse harem anime is a small sub-genre. Dance with Devils, for example, is one that you may not have heard of, but it’s a must-see for any fan.

Over the past few years, the genre of reverse harem has become increasingly popular. Though it’s a misnomer because, well, harems aren’t just for men, but today, the term “reverse harem” has taken on a whole new meaning, with a single female love interest being pursued by a bevy of men.

That’s not really relevant to the discussion, however. Even the most ardent anime fans will admit that they haven’t seen most of the shows on this list.

A reverse harem is the polar opposite of a harem, in which ladies court the main hero instead of the other way around. It is common for there to be as many as seven or more guys courting the heroine in a reverse harem. Even though some harems have broken the mold and mixed genders, reverse harems have become popular and have certain major hits, such as Uta noPrince-Sama’ and Brother’s Conflict, that fans know about.

Even though there are many harem anime, some fans may not know about others. This list of 15 reverse harem anime shows is sure to pique the interest of anime viewers.

No surprises here: she ends herself on the adventure with the other princes after certain events don’t go her way.

Though it begins with lighthearted humor, the novel gradually delves deeper into the personalities and motivations of all the central characters as it progresses. There’s a lot to like about the main character, who isn’t afraid to stand her ground against the other princes.

5. La Corda D’oro: Primo Passo

All students in Hino Kahoko’s school wear grey uniforms, while those in the music department wear white ones, which is more exciting. When Hino, the only student in the Normal Branch who can see fairies, happens upon one by chance, she is awarded a magical violin.

6. B-Project: Kodou*Ambitious

B-Project Kodou Ambitious

In B-Pro, a show about an all-boys idol group, the main heroine is introduced before the group has had a lot of popularity. However, the amount of character development that each of the males is given is more than compensated for by a lack of background knowledge on the group.

At least one episode of the anime is dedicated to each of the boys. A disadvantage is that the studio favorites are immediately apparent, as they receive more screen time than the other boys.

7. Haruka: Beyond The Stream Of Time – A Tale Of The Eight Guardian

8. Bonjour♪ Sweet Love Patisserie
