Quote from Akiradesu

comic doesn't have to be infested with sexual desire, like To Love-Ru is for example, to be a harem

To add, there's rather weird perception of romance/affection among people. If someone isn't sticking her breasts in your face doesn't mean she isn't intere ...

Who was talking anything about sexual desire? Most of the females around the MC are romantically interested in the MC in To-Love-Ru which is the difference,

The point that you are clearly missing:
Sometimes affection is expressed directly, sometimes - vaguely; sometimes silently without the second party ever knowing about it.

Now then, please, stop derailing thread. You can make your own and invite me there if you wish to continue.

Regards,

Akiradesu

Quote from lambchopsil

I'm currently siding with the non-harem people

To point out again:
"Harem, hāremumono (ハーレムもの?), broadly, is an ambiguously-defined subgenre of anime and manga characterized by a protagonist surrounded, usually amorously, by three or more members of the opposing sex and/or love interests"

Adding to that, main character has admitted female characters (best friend's sister, summoners daughter, red-hair) to be attractive (if that doesn't hint on being interested in them in the slightest, then I'm close to giving on you people).

Also, all the mentioned female character responded with affection of their own ( no matter how subtle it is).

And most importantly:
HAREM IS NOT PORN
HAREM IS NOT SEXUAL HARASSMENT
HAREM IS NOT SEXIST BEHAVIOUR
HAREM IS NOT OBSESSIVE BEHAVIOUR

Thank you for your time and see you next week after next chapter.

Kind regards,

Akiradesu

I'll go read this now...

btw Akiradesu,
you state a definition of harem seemingly trying to make a point that this should be classified harem but deny that right after? Sorry but haohao was right, you can't just use anything when it is convenient and abandon it when it's not. At least use this site's definition:

Quote from Genres

Harem
A series involving one male character and many female characters (usually attracted to the male character). A Reverse Harem is when the genders are reversed.

And from my experience how this is handled here: either a lot of females (and more often than not ONLY females), or obvious attraction (either obvious to the MC or to us) from multiple (at least 3) females.

Derailing...? 🙄

and your definition from which you base your claim is already flawed from having generalized that a harem only consists of "members of the opposing sex." I've seen it with same genders.

Admitting physical attractiveness does not particularly have to do with romantic interest. MC's interactions with the girls are casual at most, even with subtle hints of romantic interest, and as someone has said before, it's too early to tell. Just because you're flirting doesn't mean you're serious. Don't jump the gun.

Personally, I don't think this series constitutes as a Harem yet because the MC spends about equal time around both male and female characters.

Can't we always add the tag later when we're more sure?

Who is saying that harem is any of those? No one has said anything about harem being anything like that and how on earth are we derailing the thread? As Couture said attractiveness is not the same as romantic interest. Imagine someone finding a celebrity attractive how does that equal as romantic interest? Yes being physically attracted to someone might lead to something but at the moment it is nothing close to romantic interest.

Yes, please stop.

Serious, not serious?
Like what the hell, people?
You don't flirt with someone you don't find attractive, and not everyone is trying to have sex with every person he ever liked.

Oh, and did I said, stop derailing? 🙂

If you are not, then move along and don't worry about it.

Explain how we are derailing the thread? We are giving arguments on why we think it is not a harem, at this moment you have yet to convince anyone that it is a harem and are the only on that thinks that it is, at the moment most believe it is not, but think that it MIGHT become a harem and again physical attraction is not the same as romantic interest. Yes I may want to bang the hot chick and flirt with her, does that mean I am in love with her? No, my affection for her is only skin deep and that is it and again NO ONE IS SAYING HAREM IS ANYTHING LIKE YOU THINK PEOPLE THINK IT IS.

How is giving argument on why we think it is not a harem not related to this? You want to have a harem tag for this webtoon so you want people to stop removing it, but people are refusing due to it being not a harem at this present moment and giving examples why it is not.
