Harem is a kind of story in Japanese anime and manga where a male character is surrounded and loved by many female characters. "Suzuka", "Love Hina", "Ai Yori Aoshi", "Rosario + Vampire" and "Sekirei" are just a few examples. Most of the time the females are romantically interested in the main character. The term "harem" is generally not used by itself, but as an adjective to the genre—such as "harem anime" or "harem manga". The term orginates from the Arabic word "hareem" which literally means women and was also used to refer to one man many women like a sultan hareem.
