by Kōsuke Fujishima and Shao-lin from Guardian Angel Getten by Minene Sakurano. In other stories, the hero is surrounded by such girls and women, as in Negima by Ken Akamatsu and Hanaukyo Maid Team by Morishige. The male protagonist does not always succeed in forming a relationship with the woman, for example when Bright Honda and Aimi Komori fail to bond in Shadow Lady by Masakazu Katsura.
The concept of male protagonists surrounded by female characters who are often romantically interested in them is a recurring theme in manga and anime. The success rate of these relationships varies depending on the story, as seen in "Shadow Lady."
