From the little I know, the harem protag is having feelings for his dude friend who cross-dresses.

Also, it's an harem manga.

A harem manga having the protagonist end up with a dude? That would be... the best way to end a harem manga.

Now that I think about it... yes, yes it would be awesome. I think there's "I'm the Main Character of a Harem Manga, but I'm Gay so Every Day is Hell for Me" out there, though.

Genshiken isn't a harem manga, unless Nidaime took a wildly different direction.

Ah, my bad, then. All I know is from what I've heard from /a/, plus all those harem manga where there's a cross-dresser who never scores.

Actually, it's a slice of life about otaku college students, not an harem.

One of the plot points of the latest volumes is that there are four people who are interested in Madarame (the character in the secret), but it's not the main plot. And in any case, the focus of the story is Hato (the cross-dressing guy) and Madarame's feelings for each other. The other 'harem' girls are secondary characters. It's pretty awesome, it's the first time I read a non-BL manga about two guys falling for each other.

This actually sounds pretty interesting, I might have to look into it. Thanks!

You're the second person who wrote "an harem" so I have to ask - do people say "harem" with a silent H? Is it a regional thing?

Maybe it's like "historic"?

[personal profile] diet_poison 2015-07-31 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
honestly I still do a double take when I hear people say "historic" without pronouncing the H (and it sounds really wrong)

[personal profile] meadowphoenix 2015-07-31 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like vernacular to me, like how some dialects drop the "h" or like a slurred word.

But that's not actually what I meant. I mean that "historic" with aspiration can have either an "a" or an "an" and be grammatically correct.

...really? o____O

why? what is the point of "an" if it is allowed to precede non-vowels?

[personal profile] meadowphoenix 2015-08-01 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well grammatical exceptions are a thing in every language, so I don't know what to tell you.

Oooh I see. Okay, I think I'm gonna add it to my 'to read' list and hope for the best. I gotta admit I got really bitter after No Bra's ending and Yahari is not helping with that bitterness.

It's not a harem manga.

It's a slice of life manga about otakus. There's a harem plot going on right now, tho it hasn't been that harem like.

I see. My bad, then. But like I said up there, I'm gonna add it to my reading list.
