A friend introduced me to anime several years ago, and gave me a few titles to watch. I was struck by how many anime had a male lead with several female characters chasing after him. I can tell you, from experience, it hardly ever happens that way. I’ve observed several instances of girls being chased by several guys, but hardly the other way around.

In that spirit, I’ve rounded up the true-to-life (?) experiences of reverse-harems!

Who do you trust when you don’t know who you are? When a young lady loses her memories, she has only a cell phone and a spirit guide to help her recover them. One thing is sure: time is not linear, and the date of August 1st may unlock her memories.

When Yui Komori is unexpectedly sent to live with the six Sakamaki brothers, she discovers that their handsome faces hide a secret as twisted as their personalities. Not only are the brothers vampires, but they crave Yui’s blood!

After being forced to flee to Edo, the members of the Shinsengumi are disillusioned. As the flames of war threaten to engulf them, they must prepare to return to the battlefield once more or risk losing more than just their lives.

When rumors reach the Shinsengumi that a group of rogue warriors intend to attack, the only safe meeting place is the Sumi Inn. It’s up to Chizuru to disguise herself as a geisha and infiltrate the inn.

Just when Tamaki thinks her days of trouble are behind her, a traitor appears among the five Guardians. With the people closest to her now in question, who can Tamaki possibly trust?



[size=16]Kamigami no Asobi[/size]
The bond between humans and gods has weakened, and it is now up to Yui to teach the gods about love and what it means to be human. Therefore, Zeus has created a school and chosen Yui to the lead lost gods on a quest for knowledge.
