Just reading the above comments, it sounds like most of the posters in this thread only read the title and not the original post, because it brings up a very valid point.

To paraphrase, if anime has an entire genre catering to polygamous (or at least polyamorous) fantasies, why do so few of these shows end up at the logical conclusion, with the main character getting together with all his potential love interests?

This is a valid question, and I've wondered the same thing myself. The answer "Japan doesn't recognize polygamy" is only a partial answer. There are plenty of harem shows taking place in fantasy or science-fiction worlds, where the law on plural marriage could be anything the creator of the show wants. Not to mention several alternate histories or near future societies that could easily get around this little problem. Plus, a lot of harems are high school romances, where marriage isn't even on the table yet. There are half a dozen easy ways to solve this, but it seems most harem anime writers for some reason think it's perfectly fine to write a show catering to those fantasies but don't want to end it with the hero choosing ALL the girls.

Cause most people are against and maybe the Japanese law forbids it

Because why have him be in a relationship with all his harem when they could just make him keep accidentally walking in all of them showering and then the girls toss their shampoo bottles at him after screaming "Baaaaaaaaka!"

@malki know any other series like the one you linked tho? I'm also interested in polygamy.

I mean..instead of the the empty air that is all those shitty harem anime that always end up either with no satisfying conclusion ..or with people complaining because "the MC didn't choose the best girl"
why don't they make the MC marries all the girls..? why more things like this masterpiece aren't made.. and why none of them are adapted into anime..?


Some harem anime do end where the main character marries all the girls.

this discussion is going to nowhere
for you is normal that girl have sex with a lot of man , in my country is not
so just lets end it here


This isn't just a country thing.

Normal harems were rather natural in the past.Usualy the alpha male gets most girls.With no rule of law,Violence and being the best con man was the sole determinant of who ruled the tribe.
This left most men, "beta males" behind.With no stake in the society there were often unstable uprisings happens too often.

Marriage was unatural,but was "invented" to keep this stuff from happening.

Reverse harem/polygamy is bullshit,cause most girls in real life will try to choose the alpha male among them.

As to why no polygamy end,hey most people socially/sociecty prefers pair bonding.

1) There are a few anime where the male lead has multiple wives. Arawn, "the demon lord of accidental marriage" from Tears to Tiara comes to mind.

2) There are even more anime where the male leads ends up choosing all the girls, even if the law doesn't support his decision. Occasionally, the question is framed as "who gets to be the official wife?".

3) Harem endings are the best endings.

I heard in the original School Days game the TRUE ending had Makoto get into relationships with both the female protagonists, even having his children! Though I'm not sure if he married them; they could just be secret relationships under a loophole of Japanese law. Also, maybe they can do an anime similar to 1950s American film the bigamist, with the law being addressed.

I'm glade you asked..
check out Minamoto-kun Monogatari..it's just the best thing involving Harem (polygamy)you'll ever find..
there is also Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatarix which would be a fantastic manga if the MC wasn't a shitty wimp who can't fuck even his own motherfucking wives..

It's basically a harem except they're married so... I don't see the need for anime with polygamy.

polygamy is legal in a lot of countries
can you give me some countries that allow to women to marry a lot of man ?

And in some countries women are not allowed to show their face.
But that's just the law of that country so I guess it's okay right?
to make it clear : having a dick is not the same as having a pussy

That adds up to your argument how?


women in those countries are willing to do it
it's their culture how dare you belittle that ignorant prick
you will never understand the culture in the middle east
you were never raised there you have little information
about the world around you how about go read some useful stuff other than
rotting your brain with anime and manga

"Japan want their people to make more kids..so they allowed them to have multiple wives" this kind of story will work..:/
Hmmm, you've got a point, although I don't think the Japanese would approve of it, not even most otaku
also the word "harem" itself is an arab word..so Japan should stop making all those harem anime cuz Japan is not an arab countury..?
No, that would be absolutely haram
harem is haram unless ur islam


or mormon

Ummmm there was one that came out recently that had that.



The times I've seen this work is when it's a harem ending and all the girls love 1 guy or vice versa.

I read this one that while good, you kinda felt bad for the main guy.

Cause they don't allow it in Japanese society.... even though incest and pedophilia seem to be pretty common.
