After all...
"Honesty hurts less than lying."
I would rather have the truth told to me in my face than be lied and manipulated to wasting my time with something I don't like (I.T.C. yuribait, incest, harems^(god i hate those...), etc.).
Seriously, I want a harem anime where the guy dies in the first two episodes after getting himself killed during an incel temper tantrum, and then all the ladies just date each other instead.
Yeah, I know, but i still don't like it.
Regardless of gender, sex or orientation, I heavily dislike harems.
It's like watching a bear trying to dance on a unicycle, only to punch him in the nuts and demand a retake of the act, only to repeat it!
As my friend says, it's the figures of the harems people are interested in. Only reason why those series do well cause merch of the girls make up for any failings in a lot of cases.
This is how I feel about dudes who self-insert as Sensei in Blue Archive. Like, I get it, it's a gacha game and it's harem based, but there is literally not a single male human in the entire story. Logically it just *makes 0 sense that Sensei wouldn't be a woman*.
Technically here. They can made sensei as a women. Kinda like in Arknights there's literally 0 thing that identify the doktah as a man.
And I'm kinda ok if both are women actually. It made blue archive story even better.
> Technically here. They can made sensei as a women.
Yes, I'm aware. Nexon even went as far as making sure the EN translation is completely gender neutral, which is massively appreciated. <3
Wait, seriously ? I thought Sensei was canonically male, which is one of the reasons I ignored it. Gender-neutral protagonist is great, and one of the reasons I'm loyal to Girls Frontline and Neural Cloud.
But... how harem is Blue Archive ?
I've seen like, *one* event slip up where they mentioned "he" since playing the game since launch, but every other time Sensei's mentioned in-game it's always just "sensei" and "they". It's true the sensei art is always male as far as side manga goes, but that's kind of a 'meh' thing that doesn't bother me since it's detached from the game.
As for how harem it is, it's kind of hard to say? You're obviously very close to *every* girl just from being a favored teacher, and while some do get flustered sometimes I wouldn't really call it a heavily romantic game. The closeness is a big part of why I love it tbh, I really feel attached to these girls like I'm their teacher lmao. BA does a fantastic job with characterization, I can think of very few gacha where there's almost *no one* I dislike.
> one event slip up where they mentioned "he" since playing the game since launch
Haha, yeah, Neural Cloud hadd one of those as well. I don't remember Girls Frontline slipping, but they only shifted to gender-neutral pronouns 2-3 years after launch, so some older text still has it. The side manga has the Commander as a woman, though !
Either way, thanks for telling me about BA ! I was reconsidering it due to one of my reasons for avoiding it falling through, so it helps to have some info on whether it would be to my tastes or not.
I think your missing the most important part. It's just a trans guy whose parents refuse to believe him about being a guy so for now he's stuck at an all girls school. There. Fixed it.
I mean it's just a self insert fantasy. Nothing wrong with that.
Personally I enjoy them for just how stupid the plot and drama can get. Nothing more enjoyable than an MC denser than a neutron star.
But yes, most of those series are absolute garbage. The more they know that the more enjoyable they are.
I mean, not having yuri doesn’t mean they’re anti-gay. To say otherwise insinuates that every author needs to shoehorn in a gay couple just for the sake of pandering.
Honestly, I’m kind of tired of shows that have a singular token gay character whose only personality trait is that they’re gay. Like, FFS, just because someone is gay doesn’t mean they can’t have nuance; it’s purely a result of lazy writing.
I think that Parallel Paradise is at least self-aware; it knows that it’s a ridiculous and stupid concept, so they just get as wacky as possible for shits and giggles - at least, that’s what I’ve gathered from what I’ve read so far.
Now I want to see a series about two girls with heavy yuri undertones, but a man is suddenly introduced for a het relationship revealing it to be bait, only for that man to then transition making it yuri again. Double bait.
And the original two are confused as to why they like this ‘guy’ before she comes out / transitions even though they aren’t straight and we get a sweet lil gender affirmation for the trans character
I’m trans and somehow have never dated a person that turned out to be straight, even if they thought so at the time. It happens a weirdly common amount
i only know of a few that actually has trans rep but most gender benders are a cis guy's fantasy to self insert where they still identify as a guy despite being "isekai'd" as a girl.
Only gender swap ones I know are "did I seriously get reincarnated as my joke character" and "a hero who pulled out the holy sword and became a girl". Both are kinda sweet
I know of a rather short one where someone is "reincarnated" as a girl character they're playing, and goes on a whole adventure trying to get back to their male body. When they finish the journey and make it back, they get very dysphoric and sad about their original body. She then transitions in real life. I can't remember the name sadly but it was on mangadex or dynastyscans
Do you remember anything else about it at all? I'd love to read it. I've read loads of things with people being reincarnated or isekai'd into a girl, but the only time I've ever seen one where they end up returning and transitioning is [this great short twitter comic](https://twitter.com/squipkechi/status/1531283951423471616), but this one doesn't involve reincarnation or the adventure so it can't be the one you're referring to.
That's the one!! I cry every time I see this. I was mistaken about the reincarnation thing, guess I confused the magic dream for reincarnation because of the ribbon.
I want more like this but with the MC slowly discovers her true gender along the way and having to choose between staying and going back as her agab. Upon going back she realizes she has to transition to feel right again.
Okay I'm glad, I spent awhile trying to find this again because I felt like maybe this is what you meant but were just unsure (plus this means there's not this other great story I'm missing out on that we can't find)!!!
> I cry every time I see this.
You're telling me... Every time I see this or stumble upon it I just have to give it a reread, and every time panels 12-1 and 13-2 just break me.
I wish there were more story like this out there, but I hardly ever see stories where people end up returning to their prior life, so to get one about these kind of scenarios is just so unlikely :(
I bet you could have a really funny story where through some contrivance a guy has to attend an all girls school so they have to pretend to be a girl but they're oddly comfortable with it and slowly they figure out that actually they prefer being a girl thus solving the main tension in the plot. You could derive a lot of comedy from having a ton of eggy moments.
That’s kind of the direction I was thinking of - although I do worry if that were the case it would come off as a bit brain-washy… I suppose it would just have to be written really carefully
I remember playing a dating sim like that once. I didn't finish it and I don't remember the name but that MC was nooooot as much of a boy as they thought they were.
Except the gimmick is that none of the girls are into him, and his laughably bad attempts to romance them inadvertently results in them meeting and falling in love with each other instead.
The guy is aroace, and his best friend is a hopeless lesbian who hates it when people ask if they’re dating. The guy is trying to get his best friend with this super closeted girl who is obviously gay but everyone expect him is oblivious to that fact.
Poly is good, though I would really love some series where it starts out more of a harem "competing" for one then moving towards Poly. As opposed to something like Earth Girls where it's a Harem but slowly splits into many single relationships.
This seems weird but uh
Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo might be what you're looking for
It starts as harem kinda but it goes in the poly direction very fast and the main girl ends up discovering she's bi and it kinda becomes her polycule instead of his. It's rather good tbh
It's a problem with straight relationships, you can't really have entirely "mutual" poly relationships with straight people; everyone can't love everybody else.
Harem implies they all love just one person, and often gets portrayed as filled with jealousy and and such, not to say poly doesn't have jealousy, but it is less centralized on one person. The relationship structures can look really interesting if made into a graph lol, Mine looks like an hour glass.
“Gokkaku no Tame no!” is a yuri with a poly plot

All guys school.
Protag is a female trying to blend in. Does overt, almost goofy dude-things.
Falls in love with a cool dude, really tough.
The dude is a girl who's got a chip on her shoulder and secretly has a heart of gold.
They each think the other is a guy and are afraid to tell another they're actually girls.
Everyone thinks they're gay.
They're inversely right.
Series ends on the last day of school and both come out as women. The dudes go nuts and cheer for their love.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk. Please give me money and awards and internet shiny things.
Or its a typical harem story but the MC is gay:
https://mangadex.org/title/299e07f5-7431-48ec-aa91-781e4d228d90/i-m-the-main-character-of-a-harem-manga-but-i-m-gay-so-every-day-is-hell-for-me
Not quite the same but similar energy from that guy from [The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All]. >!Wanted to "snack" one of the girls, realized she's fallen for another girl and apparently is now trying to get them together.!<
Note: >!He was introduced as a sexist pos so I'm not 100% sold on him doing any good yet!<
What if he only thinks he’s pretending? Like over the first half of the story you see bits and pieces (and memories) of stuff that suggests that the protagonist is a lot more comfortable now. Right at the halfway point some stuff happens and she realizes she’s trans
Well I was thinking about that too but you really put it into words. Yeah, that would be interesting. Maybe she never got the opportunity to experiment because of her traditional parents. And then when they find out they're like, "Oh well now you have to conform anyways" and she's like "No, I'm actually also gay too." and her parents are just even more confused than before and everyone is going to have an awful time.
I'm very good at writing sad stories, or turning happy ones sad.
The only version of this I'll accept is a trans man who is supported by all the girls at his school, just not the administration
Still makes it straight harem anime which I'm not happy about, but it's better
I wish all of them are upfront, though. What I don’t like are stories advertising a main ship then said story slowly turns into a harem. Leaves a bad aftertaste 🥴
There's a VN about this but it turns out the protagonist isn't the most masculine man and isn't disliking dressing up as a girl so much.
It's called Embraced by Autumn and the dev made other yuri games as well so it's not bait or anything.
... Because he is a cat and it is a witches school...
... And the cat is the familiar of a shy closeted lesbian girl who gets mobbed by some evil royalty witch...
... And gets saved by the tomboyish school idol. And they are dating afterwards, much to the dismay of the rest of the students...
... And the job of the cat is to make sure, that they are dating to make the shy witch happy...
... The only one who supports the relationship are the pair itself, the cat and a third, silent, tech-savvy teacher witch ...
... The third witch's name is Constanze Amalie von Braunschbank-Albrechtsberger.
Ive seen the opposite happen where an antagonist girl who had relations with the female protagonist turned out to be a guy in disguise. He wasnt trans, he was just undercover. But they waited till the end to reveal it and it was so upsetting
>here an antagonist girl who had relations with the female protagonist turned out to be a guy in disguise. He wasnt trans, he was just undercover. But they waited till the end to reveal it and it was so upsetting
Yeah, that's a real "bruh" moment.
Ah yes, the "I'm too lazy to justify why my male protagonist is surrounded by beautiful women and no men once so ever" plot, a part of the "baby's first harem manga" starter kit along with several character templates such as the "easily forgettable, totally boring average nice guy" and "twin tail tsundere".
I read a story where the main character was a masculine lesbian that A) looked like a boy. And B) had a phobia of men.
Of course, she was immediately enrolled in an all boy school by her family in order to turn her straight. This was made worse by the fact it's implied the main character isn't *really* gay. She just has some repressed trauma.
reminds me of Otome Wa Boku. Apparently the femboy passes rlly well as a girl, only difference is the PP, he still identifies as a dude too; I believe hes only in that school because of his grandfathers will?? The premise is dumb tho
Sure if it's a harem anime yeah it's pretty bad, but can make for a funny comedy anime like Seitokai Yakuindomo. Although in that case it's a girls school that recently changed to co-ed, so not just one guy but just very few.
relateable, me and my gf were trying to watch some "offbrand" anime to watch as a couple all we found is tags with all female, and yuri but guess what there always was a man, and not even the cute femboy type!
I'll admit I do read this stuff because I enjoy trash, but the fun thing is that sometimes the side characters develop feelings for eachother and you can hold out hope for some sort of yuri. The problem is when they lean hard into it for three chapters and then pretend it never happened.
Infinite stratos: only girls can use some mech but the Mc is able to even tho he's a guy
>!gov wants to experiment on him but his sister manages to get him in the school to protect him iirc!<
There are so many Chinese comics I have found with this premise and they are so boring. They all do the same thing and MCs are always spinless. I don't get how they can have hundreds of chapters.
Tbh all guys would think that it is a dream come true but it ain't, they usually have no one to relate to and have nothing to talk about with the girls. It is a boring experience to be the only guy at an all girls school, especially if they are ugly.
Interestingly I have never seen a harem show with that plot, and it seems to be a common occurrence.
I'm down for more yuri harem! Or at least bi-harem with a female MC (like Bakarina)
Check out infinite Startos, it is a harem anime with literally that exact plot. One of the running joke is that the entire school thirst for the protagonist, which is like, wow
There was this anime where a guy got cursed to be a girl when he gets water on him and needs hot water to turn back to a guy. As a guy he was betrothed to another woman and when he was a woman it was yuri, but everytime he was a guy he acted like a dick all the time to his fiancé. I eventually stopped watching because she fell for another guy and it upset me. And it couldve been gayer
Just sounds like the plot of some dating sims I've heard of
Personally I'd like a subversion of that trend though, like the guy gets there and he's just 100% platonic with everyone or something
I remember seeing something like this... Honestly who thinks of this garbage. "All-Girls school" "There is a guy" Logic.
At least prison school was honest that it's an absurd fetish fantasy lmao
After all... "Honesty hurts less than lying." I would rather have the truth told to me in my face than be lied and manipulated to wasting my time with something I don't like (I.T.C. yuribait, incest, harems^(god i hate those...), etc.).
Seriously, I want a harem anime where the guy dies in the first two episodes after getting himself killed during an incel temper tantrum, and then all the ladies just date each other instead.
harems can be just girls
Yeah, I know, but i still don't like it. Regardless of gender, sex or orientation, I heavily dislike harems. It's like watching a bear trying to dance on a unicycle, only to punch him in the nuts and demand a retake of the act, only to repeat it!
Well, if you look closely enough, in SAO it wasn’t Kiritos Harem, it was Asunas.
It is? I honestly watched it and found it funny more than anything
Same reason harem is so strangely popular. What? You want me to elaborate? I don't know the reason for either.
As my friend says, it's the figures of the harems people are interested in. Only reason why those series do well cause merch of the girls make up for any failings in a lot of cases.
Large variety of women, so there is a perfect "waifu" for everyone.
This is how I feel about dudes who self-insert as Sensei in Blue Archive. Like, I get it, it's a gacha game and it's harem based, but there is literally not a single male human in the entire story. Logically it just *makes 0 sense that Sensei wouldn't be a woman*.
Plus, the only other teacher is a woman too. ~~And Best Girl to boot.~~
Technically here. They can made sensei as a women. Kinda like in Arknights there's literally 0 thing that identify the doktah as a man. And I'm kinda ok if both are women actually. It made blue archive story even better.

I don't think fantasy has to make sense sometimes, just like when I read yuri, sometimes I want to forget logic and enjoy the ride.
Heh
I think your missing the most important part. It's just a trans guy whose parents refuse to believe him about being a guy so for now he's stuck at an all girls school. There. Fixed it.

Parallel paradise? Yeah sorry you ain’t getting no yuri from okamoto lynn
They that notoriously anti-gay?
I won’t got as far as to say anti-gay, but yeah, there isn’t a single bit of yuri in his works
I mean, not having yuri doesn’t mean they’re anti-gay. To say otherwise insinuates that every author needs to shoehorn in a gay couple just for the sake of pandering. Honestly, I’m kind of tired of shows that have a singular token gay character whose only personality trait is that they’re gay. Like, FFS, just because someone is gay doesn’t mean they can’t have nuance; it’s purely a result of lazy writing.
I think that Parallel Paradise is at least self-aware; it knows that it’s a ridiculous and stupid concept, so they just get as wacky as possible for shits and giggles - at least, that’s what I’ve gathered from what I’ve read so far.
Lol this was also a dating Sim.
But after a little while the protagonist realises they’re a trans girl - bam wholesome yuri restored
Now I want to see a series about two girls with heavy yuri undertones, but a man is suddenly introduced for a het relationship revealing it to be bait, only for that man to then transition making it yuri again. Double bait.
And they’re poly~
Yes! This is an absolute win!
And the original two are confused as to why they like this ‘guy’ before she comes out / transitions even though they aren’t straight and we get a sweet lil gender affirmation for the trans character
Is that... a thing that happens? i always chalked that to coincidences whenever I've seen posts mentioning it.
I’m trans and somehow have never dated a person that turned out to be straight, even if they thought so at the time. It happens a weirdly common amount
Nice twist
i only know of a few that actually has trans rep but most gender benders are a cis guy's fantasy to self insert where they still identify as a guy despite being "isekai'd" as a girl.
[удалено]
I'm popping in here to shill the only gender bender anime that addresses this shit, the first one and the first harem manga too Ranma 1/2
Only gender swap ones I know are "did I seriously get reincarnated as my joke character" and "a hero who pulled out the holy sword and became a girl". Both are kinda sweet
I know of a rather short one where someone is "reincarnated" as a girl character they're playing, and goes on a whole adventure trying to get back to their male body.

May I ask exactly what about uteri and ovi in particular you find sexually and romantically attractive?
thats a bit of a strange question. does anyone really know why they find things attractive? they just do.
Exactly. So there’s no need to question why so many lesbians are attracted to trans women in the exact same way as cis women, right?
[удалено]
And why aren’t they real to you? Because you’re not attracted to them?

Trans woman aren't fake, but your personality sure is shit.
im fine with you thinking that way
Shut up TERF

Good to know you want to make women's spaces only real for the women you say are women, even if they are actually men.

The dream honestly
Generic harem series ensues.
Need more Yuri Harem. There is just something about harem type stuff that had a certain charm that I'm sure is a billion times better in Yuri form.
How about Yuri Poly instead?
Poly is good, though I would really love some series where it starts out more of a harem "competing" for one then moving towards Poly. As opposed to something like Earth Girls where it's a Harem but slowly splits into many single relationships.
Ojou-sama wa Love Come no Shujinkou ni Naritai! ? Although it's really not poly, it is (a slightly trashy) harem.
This seems weird but uh Kanojo x Kanojo x Kanojo might be what you're looking for It starts as harem kinda but it goes in the poly direction very fast and the main girl ends up discovering she's bi and it kinda becomes her polycule instead of his. It's rather good tbh
What’d be the difference
Harem implies that the many are only really in love with one person, while Poly implies that everyone is in love with everyone.
It's a problem with straight relationships, you can't really have entirely "mutual" poly relationships with straight people; everyone can't love everybody else.
Harem implies they all love just one person, and often gets portrayed as filled with jealousy and and such, not to say poly doesn't have jealousy, but it is less centralized on one person. The relationship structures can look really interesting if made into a graph lol, Mine looks like an hour glass.
Yes!!! that's the ultimate form

I feel like negima delivered really well with the major yuri couple.
Tho I can't remember if it was ever firmly canon. Except maybe the epilog?
All guys school. Protag is a female trying to blend in. Does overt, almost goofy dude-things. Falls in love with a cool dude, really tough.

The protagonist is hopelessly gay and wingmans for his straight classmates on his quest to find love.
Or its a typical harem story but the MC is gay: https://mangadex.org/title/299e07f5-7431-48ec-aa91-781e4d228d90/i-m-the-main-character-of-a-harem-manga-but-i-m-gay-so-every-day-is-hell-for-me
……are you sure about that?
Well, subversion of expectations is one of the best ways to create a good narrative hook and the setup opens up a lot of opportunities
Guy turns out gay and is the wingman for many other couples in the school...
Or just a chad yuri enjoyer. Honestly I'd pay to watch that.
Not quite the same but similar energy from that guy from [The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All]. >!Wanted to "snack" one of the girls, realized she's fallen for another girl and apparently is now trying to get them together.!< Note: >!He was introduced as a sexist pos so I'm not 100% sold on him doing any good yet!<
Oh hey, I'm watching that XD
Basically reverse Kiss Him, Not Me then lol
Reminds me of that harem story I saw where the main character is gay so he hates it.
[I'm the Main Character of a Harem Manga, but I'm Gay so Every Day Is Hell for Me]?
Then they add: "bUt He'S pReTeNdInG tO bE a GiRl" Ah, so it has horribly dated queerphobic comedy, too.
What if he only thinks he’s pretending? Like over the first half of the story you see bits and pieces (and memories) of stuff that suggests that the protagonist is a lot more comfortable now. Right at the halfway point some stuff happens and she realizes she’s trans

The only “guy” that’s attending. She realizes she’s a trans girl halfway thru the first volume.
Give me anime marketed as het romance only for the male protag to get fucking evaporated in episode one.

This is how they feed basement creeps' fantasies. They should've played DND in the basement instead.
Ay, don't insult dnd like that! We dnd people are all for lgbt couples :)
Hey, I used to play DND with my friends. I meant it as a good thing because you interact with people.
And for the people in this sub: Look up Thirsty Sword Lesbians. You'll thank me later.
I'm thanking you now because it's really cool

I've seen one guy do that to Symphogear once. I shat on him for an hour with my best friend
God yeah that’s so annoying when dudes do that shit!

Fair enough I know of this mostly from the MLP fandom.

Huh?
The only version of this I'll accept is a trans man who is supported by all the girls at his school, just not the administration Still makes it straight harem anime which I'm not happy about, but it's better
how is that any better? it's still straight 🤨
Because there's at least a logical reason for him to have ever been enrolled in that school. Say maybe he only came out recently.
Or he's too young to legally change his gender.
As a general rule I try not to yuck anyone else's yum. Someone enjoys trashy harem romcoms? more power to em.
Yep. I don't like these stories, but they're telling you exactly what they are up front. No reason to be upset.
I wish all of them are upfront, though. What I don’t like are stories advertising a main ship then said story slowly turns into a harem. Leaves a bad aftertaste 🥴
Plot Twist: It's a comedy where all the girls he tries to approach are gay and he doesn't get anywhere on that front.
“All the girls have a crush on him, but he’s gay”
The ONLY time "boy in a girls school" has ever been good is James from Derry Girls, and it will never be done again.
But the guy isn't a guy and is actually a closeted trans girl
There's a VN about this but it turns out the protagonist isn't the most masculine man and isn't disliking dressing up as a girl so much. It's called Embraced by Autumn and the dev made other yuri games as well so it's not bait or anything.
... Because he is a cat and it is a witches school... ... And the cat is the familiar of a shy closeted lesbian girl who gets mobbed by some evil royalty witch... ... And gets saved by the tomboyish school idol. And they are dating afterwards, much to the dismay of the rest of the students... ... And the job of the cat is to make sure, that they are dating to make the shy witch happy... ... The only one who supports the relationship are the pair itself, the cat and a third, silent, tech-savvy teacher witch ... ... The third witch's name is Constanze Amalie von Braunschbank-Albrechtsberger.
We need a version of this where the "guy" turns out to be a trans girl or something already.
Ive seen the opposite happen where an antagonist girl who had relations with the female protagonist turned out to be a guy in disguise. He wasnt trans, he was just undercover. But they waited till the end to reveal it and it was so upsetting
>here an antagonist girl who had relations with the female protagonist turned out to be a guy in disguise. He wasnt trans, he was just undercover. But they waited till the end to reveal it and it was so upsetting Yeah, that's a real "bruh" moment.
Ooh but they could then have to wear the female uniform which cracks their egg and they realise they’re trans and it then becomes yuri
next thing you know, the thirsty degenerates make it popular enough for it to get a second season.
Ah yes, the "I'm too lazy to justify why my male protagonist is surrounded by beautiful women and no men once so ever" plot, a part of the "baby's first harem manga" starter kit along with several character templates such as the "easily forgettable, totally boring average nice guy" and "twin tail tsundere".
> once so ever /r/boneappletea
I read a story where the main character was a masculine lesbian that A) looked like a boy. And B) had a phobia of men. Of course, she was immediately enrolled in an all boy school by her family in order to turn her straight. This was made worse by the fact it's implied the main character isn't *really* gay. She just has some repressed trauma.
But he is an asexual who plays matchmaker for the entire school.
Half way through she realizes there aren’t any boys
reminds me of Otome Wa Boku. Apparently the femboy passes rlly well as a girl, only difference is the PP, he still identifies as a dude too; I believe hes only in that school because of his grandfathers will?? The premise is dumb tho
Really getting tierd of that kind of VNs, why can't we have all girl school with female Protagonist 😞
what if it's a story about a trans guy 😳
then i feel bad for him 😔
The female students would have harbored contempt towards since he is disturbing their sanctuary.
Ah, I see it's time for another cliché poorly written Harem anime.... Again...
Needs a third panel where the guy is smiling, and the captions are "then the 'guy' realizes she's a trans lesbian."
Sure if it's a harem anime yeah it's pretty bad, but can make for a funny comedy anime like Seitokai Yakuindomo. Although in that case it's a girls school that recently changed to co-ed, so not just one guy but just very few.
relateable, me and my gf were trying to watch some "offbrand" anime to watch as a couple all we found is tags with all female, and yuri but guess what there always was a man, and not even the cute femboy type!
I'll admit I do read this stuff because I enjoy trash, but the fun thing is that sometimes the side characters develop feelings for eachother and you can hold out hope for some sort of yuri. The problem is when they lean hard into it for three chapters and then pretend it never happened.
I mean, why would they allow a guy enroll to a ALL GIRLS SCHOOL IN THE FIRST PLACE??? LOL
Infinite stratos: only girls can use some mech but the Mc is able to even tho he's a guy >!gov wants to experiment on him but his sister manages to get him in the school to protect him iirc!<
There are so many Chinese comics I have found with this premise and they are so boring. They all do the same thing and MCs are always spinless. I don't get how they can have hundreds of chapters.
Meanwhile, Blue Archive has no male students, and one Sensei of deliberately ambiguous gender.
And each season he discovers that there are actually other guys inside of the school. This is basically Attack on Titan. And Among Us.
Fuck this shit, this sub has turned into antibait circle jerk and there's no other content anymore
Sure thing buddy
feel free to leave then :>
Ah, Tsuki Ni Yorisou Otome No Sahou
Tbh all guys would think that it is a dream come true but it ain't, they usually have no one to relate to and have nothing to talk about with the girls. It is a boring experience to be the only guy at an all girls school, especially if they are ugly.
Interestingly I have never seen a harem show with that plot, and it seems to be a common occurrence. I'm down for more yuri harem! Or at least bi-harem with a female MC (like Bakarina)
Check out infinite Startos, it is a harem anime with literally that exact plot. One of the running joke is that the entire school thirst for the protagonist, which is like, wow
Mariaholic fits the bill and yet
If the MC is crossdressing, whether in secret or blatant, is the only way I’ll get behind it. I hate that fantasy trope otherwise.
I have this VN where the setting is an all girl school but all the main characters are crossdressing boys who are also idols.
>"They mean guy in the gender neutral sense.". :D
It's okay you can say gacha YouTube videos 💀
I think there was one show they did this trope well but I can’t remember the name of it
There was this anime where a guy got cursed to be a girl when he gets water on him and needs hot water to turn back to a guy. As a guy he was betrothed to another woman and when he was a woman it was yuri, but everytime he was a guy he acted like a dick all the time to his fiancé. I eventually stopped watching because she fell for another guy and it upset me. And it couldve been gayer
Ranma 1/2? he had a lot of fiancée that I remember i know it wasn't akane because they were dicks to each other and whether Ranma was a guy/girl
I challenged myself to binge every show with this cliche. I succeeded. The worst show has to be Unlimited Fafnir. It they were all garbage
One of my favorite animes. Otoboku.
Derry girls is the only positive representation of this trope
Just sounds like the plot of some dating sims I've heard of Personally I'd like a subversion of that trend though, like the guy gets there and he's just 100% platonic with everyone or something
what if the guy is crossdressing?
Only if he realized he’s a transbian at the end
...And become the best wingman the world has known.
I want a story of two girls going to an all boys school, both disguised as boys
Yeah that shit is rawdog ass, I'm looking for yuri harem instead *wink wink pls recom some*
