What Does Harem Mean?

Harem is a common word used in the world of Otaku. Do you know the meaning of Harem?

Harem is generally referred to as a sub-genre or categorical term in Anime, Manga, and Visual Novel style video games. Harem is a media that follows only one main character for the plot. This character is primarily male, and multiple other characters are of different genders or typically female. Mostly, the characters of the same gender try to win the love and affection of the only main character. If the protagonist is feminine and the alternative characters are male, this is often considered Reverse Harem or Male Harem.

In most Harem Anime and Manga, the show ends with the protagonist selecting one feminine character. Still, visual novels would possibly permit players to pick out multiple feminine characters throughout one play. Sometimes all the characters are happy being in a relationship in the end. This is often called a Harem Ending.

However, not all visual novels have a cheerful ending if you select a Harem route. If other characters know about this, bad things might happen.
