Best R18 Rated Anime Series Funny Nudity

Harem or HRM is a popular anime/manga sub-genre. Of course, you've googled this word before (Do not pretend as you've never been intrigued by that word!).

Derived from the Arabic word, 'hareem'/'harem',  HRM stories are based on polyamorous/polyandrous relationships. These relationships can be either the main/core character surrounded by many women or men (Reverse Harem) vying for attention or more.

The most tantamount example is a key male character surrounded by a group of women.

There are some recent variants of this sub-genre where the same-sex characters are involved in a romantic/sexual relationship.

However, its origins are highly debatable. Some fans regard Tenchi Muyo! setting the standard for harem anime.

But, some claim that Urusei Yatsura solidified the theme. If one were to focus on the structure of an HRM story, one might find that the crux of the plot may not be romantic.

But it may be ambiguous or dwindling. A relationship between two girls and one guy does not qualify as an HRM plot.

It is rather known as, a love triangle. Being a very sexualized genre, many have taken a disliking or even offense to the way girls/women have been represented in these anime.

Some claim it to be needlessly sexual, a.k.a fan service. The United States of America has been the toughest critic of this genre voicing the misinterpretation of being polyamorous and the sexist remarks these shows voice.

Ironically, the US is also the one place where HRM anime/manga is becoming increasingly popular. What you must know here is that polygamy is not legal in many countries.

ESPECIALLY, not in Japan or China. But polygynous marriage and relationships are prevalent in African, Middle Eastern, and some Asian countries.

And, Antarctica, it's absolutely legal there! This article is STRICTLY FOR THE 18+ OTAKUS, Entoin does not promote underage otakus viewing topics they do not fully understand or are aware of.

Being a video game beta tester has its perks. But being transported to the video games you play, doesn't sound so fun now, does it?

Finding himself in this RPG world, he realizes that he has now become his younger self and his name changed to Satou.

The moniker he uses for beta testing. After upping his stats to 310 by casting a powerful spell on the evil forces in the game.
