The last poll outlined our preferences in harem male lead. Surprisingly, not one person suggested a different personality type than the one listed. The winner goes to the "Kind Normal Guy" with 43 votes, it shows why this personality type is so common in harem animanaga. Second place falls far behind with 16 votes is the pervert, perhaps the second most common personality type in harem. Finally, the bored guy gets third with 11 votes.

Crappy jokes this week, rather busy at the moment.

This week's question is the HEROINE's relation to the main male lead, sponsored by rave_ash. For example, if you were to pick Senpai, it means you want the HEROINE to be the senpai, and the male lead to be the kohai.

General definition:
Senpai: Upperclassman
Kohai: Lowerclassman (reverse of Senpai)
Neesan: Older Sister
Imuoto: Younger Sister
Sensei: Teacher

I am sure there are a lot more, although unfortunately, I probably won't be available to add any new options. Feel free to suggest any and if I have the chance, I will add them.

Please make any comment, suggestions, or criticism as you like. Really, any comments are fine, even if you are just telling me to be more serious about this. If additional options are added, make a post after the option is added and I will change the vote.

Direct all topic suggestions to this thread:

afaik Cousin is "legal" in Western countries as well

I picked Kouhai, because there was no class-mate option (without necessarily being childhood friend)
but I'd say I'm fine with everything but Ane/Imouto :x

I picked Stranger, because the rest of them seemed cliche and a stranger opens up a number of possibilities.

So many good ones. I don't think there's one that I couldn't think of a character I liked.

In the end, I chose Sensei. Probably because there's a good chance she'd be bespectacled.

i chose childhood friend neighbor, there is just something about the girl next door. as lo most of the time they take care of the lead male, so they should get something in return

The second one, 'Childhood Friend, Neighbour (Friends? Or perhaps more?)' because it seems more ... hmm, more cliche I guess, but more realistic at the same time I suppose.

If stranger gets enough interest, I will ask the question of how they meet as a potential next question, thus covering more of the cliches.

@HoaRy

I was thinking of only NA at the time of writing and the last time I looked up the subject, most places only accept second cousin or third cousin. Japan accepts first cousin.

I didn't look it up but read a book once, which said it's allowed in Germany. Then I thuoght about about all the aristocracy and concluded that it's allowed.

Wikipedia:
In many countries, such as in Europe, marriage between cousins is legal. Other jurisdictions, notably many in the United States, follow a more restrictive doctrine and prohibit such marriages as incestuous.

And looking at the rest of the article, it really depends on where you are.

As mentioned, I was only thinking of North America at the time of writing. It is a topic of debate amongst certain animanga community and the majority of those people arguing are from North America (after all, most of those sites are NA sites). Yes, aristocracy in the past has permitted cousin marriage and many European and Middle East countries still allow it. If history is of interest, I can tell you that at some point in time, China doesn't allow marriage with people with the same last name/descendant.

It was just a quick joke I usually write for each option, don't worry too much about it.

EDIT: I am about to go mad waiting form the lag.
