        @sparhawk6 Noooo! (I just don't like that these stories end with either the obvious winner or no winners, and they string you along so much; I'll take a dramatic triangle over them). xD

        @Hakomari How about a shoujo/josei reverse-harem LN?

        How about a Yuri or Yaoi LN? Fair and balanced representation. =D

          Triangles are often drama-heavy like in the case of "White Album 2". So preferably no love triangles.

            I am tired of reading harems honestly. Reverse or otherwise. Can't we have a decent monogamous relationship for once? You know the kind church approves(although yaoi would be okay as well. As long as Pope Francis approves of it) xD

                @Hakomari Would a love triangle be okay? Still want those White Album 2 novels…

                    @Hakomari Nah, that's my alt account and I double posted (I'm joking, I think the conversation moved too fast and he posted that before your response).

                      @Hakomari Sorry, that happens when you don't reload before posting, the forum unfortunately doesn't seem to notify when a new post has been inserted before posting.

                      Edit: And it happened right now again :-/.

                        Woah and both of you wanted the same novel. Have you read Oregairu yet? I am sure you two will like it.

                          @Hakomari Thanks for the recommendation, I haven't read it so far. Unfortunately, it is only available as a paper back so far and I'm rather averse to buying physical books in English. Hopefully, it will soon join their digital line-up, just like Spice&Wolf and now even SAO did.

                            I have read both the fan and official translations. I would say the fan-translation is definitely above average. You could read those if you don't want to wait for YP releases. They have been delaying shit anyway so they won't catch up to the fan translations before 2020.

                              @Hakomari Personally, I'd prefer the visual novel, but I'll take the story in whatever form I can get it. Though, I'll be disappointed to be locked on to one route.

                              The anime only covered the more linear first half of White Album 2 concerning their high school lives. Latter is about adulthood, and I hear it's one of the most harrowing visual novels.

                              There's an English playthrough online, though I'm worried about that being the uncensored PC version (personally could do without any controversial CGs). Getting the PS3 version somehow would be ideal. =(

                                My Romantic Comedy SNAFU? I watched the show. Bit worried about it going the "character who appears on cover one / first woman he meets / obvious character is the romantic love interest". Yuigahama fan here from what I saw in the show. =P

                                I have volume 1 of the book, but haven't read yet. I figure the MC's monologues that he likes to spew might make more sense there.

                                  I was kind of Yuigahama/Iroha fan before reading the novels but I am a hard-core Yukino fan now. And it is obvious from Hachiman's monologues in the novels that he is indeed in love with Yukino. He is at least bewildered by her beauty.

                                  There are only two choices. Either friendship end or Yukino end. That is also why the author - Watari made a spinoff where he basically gave Yukinos volume 8+ story to Yuigahama and made her "win" instead. This shows that the main plot will end with either Yukino or no one.

                                  Edit: I have the first volume as well but I have also read the fan-translations of volumes 1-11.

                                    @Hakomari Just as a FYI, Cross Infinite World licensed 2 new novels. Not sure if they are harem or not though.

                                      I think there's a good chance another series, Re:Zero, ends up having to satisfy Rem fans or no one despite already having a "Rem" end in a bonus chapter. Emelia just doesn't seem very popular, but maybe the internet reaction is clouding my judgement.

                                      Not to say that'll happen with My Romantic Comedy. I'm guessimg Yukino is a more fan favorite than the others overall.

                                        @Hakomari ahh Hiratsuka Sensei for the win!! Even though I know they won't get together, I soo ship them!! My second would be Yukino... But Saki is my favorite girl, but that doesn't mean I ship her with Hachiman(Can you ship a fictional character with yourself? Lol). She doesn't get much screen time in the anime though... I'm currently reading volume 8

                                        PS: I also have the first volume of Yen Press xD. They're so slow!!

                                          @Terrence I talk about true harem, where all girls win actually. (Magika no Kenshi, etc)
                                          I am a bit tired of this classic romance novels. There is often more drama like in harem one. Arifureta is nice one harem too. There can be a lot of novels with harem tag but not much with true harem ending.

                                          And about My love comedy - sensei and yukino best girls. (Up to date vol 11)

                                          One thing that makes me sad, there is still no news from Black Bullet author about vol 8

                                            They look kinda reverse-haremish. I haven't read any of their stuff yet, do you know if the translation quality is good?
