Is Ubel Blatt Harem?..

No... not that much for Koinzell. Though it DID look to be heading that way ages ago, back when he was getting crowded by three chicks in bikini bottoms. Seems like that was just done to show his magnetic personality or heroic auro or something.
Now, It HAS harems aplenty, seems everyone's that ever gone on a quest needs a crowd, especially the "heroes"... and it even affects Koinzell somewhat, at times.
...BUT our lead is the most reluctant of the lot of em, and, iirc, only ever nailed two chicks. Both situations were forced on him. And they didn't stay. One - that owner of the shota-harem at the beginning - while being reverse-raep'd to initiate him into a harem, though he turned the tables on her (and then killed her), and one as "payment" for services rendered.
Of the three sometime hangers-on, one's a little kid who idolizes him, one seems to have changed from crushing on him baaaad to treating him as more of a sensei/father-type figure, and the only one who's really still got it bad is in denial.
Maybe for a shounen title that has 0 sex and no mention of it, that'd qualify as a harem, but since just about every single false "hero" spends downtime thrusting through battalions of whores, captives, and subordinates, and mixing it with a side of bondage/necrophilia/bestiality/etc... Koinzell just pales in comparison with his 2 home runs, 1 hawt first aid/cpr scene with wound-licking, and 1 random girlie fingered. That's just nothing, some of our villains have plowed through more chicks in one evening. Also, it seems he's rather "meh, whatever" in regards to sex, and either disinterested entirely in romance or just believes the mission doesn't leave room for such.
...btw, imho, at the beginning, that first heavy makeout scene with the random chick was just part of the buildup to the identity reveal, as well as a little reminder that this manga can get pretty mature.

I actually laughted at the "nameless woman" rape-scene
for Barstar (or Bastard) to call her "nameless women" it was almost a case of forth-wall
Quote from Mindflayer
Well, of course, it is. And so is, obviously, Berserk. Gutts has a harem of a witch-tsundere, a zealot-turned-witch-yandere, a catatonic tsundere, a tsundere-fairy, a tsundere-trap-fairy, a shota-trap and a gay bishounen sex slave. Of course, that doesn't count the yandere demon overlord, Griffith, and the sexy seductress Slann who both want a certain piece of Gutts not to mention the myriad of damsels in distress.
Despite it's sexual content, which is the most important aspect of this epic tale, Its lack of moe-diversity makes Berserk a subpar story, though, and we can only hope that the inspiration Miura will get from his eroge experience will enable Berserk to finally get some depth.
Epic.

I may be wrong... but wasn't there a chapter where the mangaka made it look like he had sex with the 3 girls? i believe that's the reason i stoped reading it.
