More girls, more chaos, more fun!
Ah, harem anime—the genre where one usually clueless protagonist finds themselves surrounded by a group of attractive, and often quirky, love interests. And, of course, they’re all after one thing: the protagonist’s affection.
Do Harem anime often blend comedy, romance, fanservice, and a good dose of how-does-this-guy-even-survive? Whether you’re in it for the ridiculous drama, the laugh-out-loud moments, or to see how long it takes before things spiral into absolute chaos, harem anime always delivers.
But not all harem anime are created equal. Some lean heavily into slapstick humour, while others get surprisingly emotional. Some push the boundaries of the genre with action, magic, or even sci-fi, but one thing’s for sure: there are always a lot of ladies competing for the spotlight.
So, if you’re ready for a wild ride, here are the 11 Best Harem Anime Loaded With Ladies that are guaranteed to keep you entertained.
1. High School DxD (2012)
The harem with wings—literally.
You can’t talk about harem anime without starting with High School DxD. This show is notorious for its over-the-top fanservice, but it’s also packed with supernatural battles and a surprisingly engaging plot.
Issei Hyoudou, the main character, starts as your average pervy high school student who dreams of having his harem. That dream comes proper—kind of—when he’s killed by a fallen angel and resurrected by Rias Gremory, a gorgeous devil.
What follows is an insane mix of battles between angels, devils, and everything in between, all while Issei gets closer to his dream of building his harem.
The show knows exactly what it is, and it leans into the ecchi while keeping things funny and action-packed.
If you’re here for ladies with supernatural powers and plenty of suggestive moments, High School DxD is your go-to.
2. The Quintessential Quintuplets (2019)
Five girls, one tutor, and endless romantic confusion.
Imagine being a broke high school student hired to tutor five identical sisters who are all failing school miserably. Now imagine that these five sisters all slowly start developing feelings for you.
That’s the wild ride of The Quintessential Quintuplets. The protagonist, Futaro Uesugi, finds himself in a harem situation that’s as heartwarming as it is chaotic.
Each of the Nakano sisters has a unique personality—ranging from tsundere to shy girl—which makes the battle for Futaro’s heart both hilarious and unpredictable.
But the show also has moments of genuine emotion as the sisters grow closer not only to Futaro but also to each other.
Plus, there’s a mystery bride revealed in the future, so the question of “who will he choose?” keeps you hooked until the very end.
3. Nisekoi (2014)
Fake dating, real feelings, and a harem of hilarity.
Nisekoi kicks off with one of the most cliché yet entertaining tropes: the fake relationship. Raku Ichijo, the heir to a yakuza family, has to pretend to date Chitoge Kirisaki, the daughter of a rival gang boss, to keep the peace between their families.
The problem? They hate each other. The bigger problem? Raku’s already in love with his childhood crush, Onodera, and soon, even more girls show up who seem to have some connection to him.
The result is a classic harem anime filled with misunderstandings, romantic tension, and plenty of slapstick comedy.
While the girls all bring their charm, it’s the “who will he actually end up with?” drama that keeps you hooked. And with every new episode, the web of love and lies gets even more tangled.
4. Rosario + Vampire (2008)
Monsters, magic, and a whole lot of fanservice.
Rosario + Vampire takes place at Yokai Academy, where all the students are actually supernatural creatures in disguise—except for one unlucky human named Tsukune Aono. He accidentally enrols in this dangerous school but quickly finds himself surrounded by beautiful monster girls, including a vampire named Moka Akashiya, who’s immediately smitten with him.
From succubi to witches to snowwomen, Tsukune’s harem is as diverse as it gets, and each girl brings her flavour of supernatural chaos into the mix.
The show balances action and fanservice, with plenty of battles as the girls fight to protect Tsukune from other threats (and sometimes each other). It’s campy, fun, and loaded with enough fanservice to keep things interesting without tipping into the hentai zone.
5. Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls (2015)
Human meets monster girls. Madness ensues.
Speaking of monster girls, Monster Musume takes the concept to a whole new level. Kimihito Kurusu is living an average life when, thanks to an interspecies exchange program, he suddenly ends up with a house full of monster girls—each more unique and dangerous than the last.
From Miia, the snake-like lamia, to Centorea, a proud centaur, these girls are all interested in Kimihito, and they have no concept of personal space.
The show thrives on absurd comedy and ecchi moments, but it also has a surprising amount of heart as the monster girls try to understand human emotions (and human romance).
It’s over-the-top, ridiculous, and shameless in its fanservice, but that’s exactly what makes it so entertaining—living with monster girls? Not as easy as it sounds.
6. Haganai: I Don’t Have Many Friends (2011)
Who needs friends when you’ve got a harem?
Kodaka Hasegawa just wants to make some friends, but thanks to his intimidating appearance, he’s stuck in the “friendless” club.
Enter the Neighbor’s Club, a group of misfits who are also struggling to make friends.
Of course, most of the club’s members are attractive girls who slowly start falling for Kodaka, turning what was supposed to be a friendship-building experience into something much more complicated.
The show is a blend of comedy and romance, with plenty of misunderstandings, awkward moments, and just the right amount of fanservice.
What makes Haganai stand out is how it balances the typical harem tropes with genuine moments of character growth and emotional depth.
7. To LOVE-Ru (2008)
Aliens, accidents, and plenty of accidental groping.
To LOVE-Ru is one of those anime that takes the “accidental pervert” trope and runs with it—hard.
Rito Yuuki is an average high school student whose life takes a bizarre turn when an alien princess named Lala literally falls into his bathtub.
From there, it’s a series of increasingly absurd events involving alien girls, accidental nudity, and enough misunderstandings to make your head spin.
It’s full of fanservice, but it’s also packed with laugh-out-loud moments and surprisingly sweet romance.
Each of the alien girls in Rito’s growing harem brings something new to the table, keeping the show fresh and entertaining, even as the stakes (and ridiculousness) continue to escalate.
8. Sekirei (2008)
Superpowered women, battles, and—oh yeah—harem chaos.
In Sekirei, Minato Sahashi finds himself in the middle of a secret battle royale where superpowered women called Sekirei fight to the death. Of course, the Sekirei he meets all decide that he’s going to be their “Ashikabi,” aka their master, and they’ll do anything to protect him.
This means they’re all living with him, which leads to plenty of romantic tension and misunderstandings.
The show mixes action, romance, and ecchi in equal measure, with enough harem drama to keep things interesting.
The battles are intense, but the real fun comes from watching Minato try (and fail) to navigate his Sekirei’s romantic advances.
9. We Never Learn (2019)
Teaching girls can be hard—especially when they’re all falling for you.
In We Never Learn, Nariyuki Yuiga is a struggling student who’s tasked with tutoring three beautiful girls, each of whom excels in one subject but is terrible in another.
Of course, this means that over time, they all start developing feelings for their clueless tutor, and the academic setting quickly turns into a romantic battleground.
The show is lighthearted and fun, with plenty of romantic misunderstandings and comedic moments.
Each girl has her own unique personality and charm, and watching Nariyuki try to juggle his studies and his growing harem is endlessly entertaining.
10. Hayate the Combat Butler (2007)
A butler, a mansion full of girls, and way too much chaos.
Hayate the Combat Butler follows the misadventures of Hayate Ayasaki, who becomes the butler to a rich girl named Nagi Sanzenin after his parents sell him to pay off their debts.
Naturally, working as a butler means living in a mansion full of beautiful girls, each with her own unique (and often eccentric) personality.
The show leans heavily into comedy, with plenty of slapstick humour and ridiculous situations.
But underneath the chaos, there’s also some genuine romance as the girls compete for Hayate’s affection.
It’s less fanservice-heavy than some other harem anime, but it makes up for it with wit, charm, and a lot of heart.
11. Trinity Seven (2014)
Magic, mystery, and a magical school full of girls.
In Trinity Seven, Arata Kasuga finds himself enrolling in a magical academy after a mysterious phenomenon destroys his world.
There, he meets the Trinity Seven—seven powerful, beautiful girls who each possess incredible magical abilities. Of course, they all end up developing feelings for Arata as they work together to uncover the secrets of the school.
The anime mixes action, fantasy, and romance, with plenty of fanservice and ecchi moments to keep harem fans happy.
Each girl has her unique powers and personality, making Arata’s life both magical and chaotic. The mystery and magic add an extra layer of intrigue, but at its core, it’s a classic harem story with all the familiar tropes.
