Why? Because when done right, and with some semblance of creativity and depth, they present some of the most complex and sophisticated romance stories.

Such as

School Days.

Discuss.

There are too many harems and a lot of them suck. When done great that is sweet but, most I don't like.

Exactly.

They do tend to be a bit trite and overdone, but when it's done right... teh awesome.

Most of the good harem comes from Seinen. Harem from Shounen have tons of ecchi. But I prefer Shounen Harem anyway .

It's rarely done right but I still enjoy reading even the crappy ones for the lulz

Lulz will def. be had. Especially with Girls Saurus (god, it's so terrible and good at the same time)

Girl Saurus gets so retarded but funny at times it almost borders on surreal humour

Sometimes I think it's a parody harem. Some of the stuff is just too blatant.

Although at least in Girl Sasrus the main character is hoonest about his desire to get a girlfriend

'to have a healthy first experience'

He seems to swing both ways.

Anyway, I'd say it's a parody of harems, too. The girls' interest is just way too over the top sometimes.

Harem manga are okay. I usually prefer harems in hentai more than in regular manga, though Girl Saurus really is the most interesting of the bunch for me. Ichigo-saurus has to be the most terrifying character I've ever seen.

In regular manga, the guy pretty much keeps his hands off the girls for one reason or another. In hentai/adult/mature manga, he gets a taste of everyone and their sister (and occasionally other relatives.)

Never touched "School Days." The video game it's based on has a nasty reputation and people's description of the guy made Shinji look decisive and dependable.

im more of a reverse harem fan

I have to say that even though I usually don't like reading Harem, I get drawn in to it too often. The multiple love stories, betrayal, and the clueless guy who keeps getting everything just draws me in.
I have to say, I usually end up hating the guy, unless he really is good at heart (e.g. Keitaro from Love Hina)
Especially Itou from School Days. At first he seemed ok but when he I really started to hate him. I really hated the end of the manga, but the anime ended just right. A-hole got no more'n he deserved.

Well, every genre can be awesome when done right, Harem included.

I want to read a good harem, with girls that actually have personalities and aren't just fine with other women clinging to the one they love.
