Harem manga is a genre of Japanese comic books and graphic novels that typically features a single male protagonist surrounded by multiple female characters who are romantically or sexually interested in him. This setup often leads to comedic situations, romantic tension, and various character dynamics. The male lead usually has to navigate the affections of these women, which can create both conflict and humor. The genre often includes tropes such as the "tsundere" (a character who is initially cold but shows warmth later) and the "yandere" (a character who is obsessively in love). Popular examples of harem manga include titles like Love Hina and To Love-Ru. Harem manga appeals to readers who enjoy romantic comedy and character-driven stories.
