Harems have a special appeal outside of regular romance anime in that multiple romantic options are presented to the viewer for them to cheer on! Usually, only one will receive a romantic ending with the main character but with just a little imagination, we can concoct our own scenes for the characters we feel most attracted to. They may not have the most thought-provoking storylines but often prove to be a funny and enjoyable experience. Akatsuki no Yona is a reverse harem meaning one girl, many beautiful guys! While it is engaging as a show about a girl setting off on an important mission, it also plucked at the heartstrings of bishounen lovers. Yona"s comfortable life is ripped from her and she is forced to deal with many trials unfairly thrust upon her. It helps, though, that her comrades are dashing men with a soft spot for her. Nothing gets the heart beating like adventure and romance, so check out these anime that will set your heart ablaze!
About Akatsuki no Yona (Yona of the Dawn)
- Episodes: 24
- Aired: Oct. 2014 – March 2015
Yona loves her father and her kingdom and lives a relatively peaceful existence as Kouka"s princess. This peaceful life comes to an abrupt end for her in one night when her father is murdered by her beloved cousin. With no one but her bodyguard Hak to protect her, she is forced to flee her home and learns the thriving kingdom she thought she knew is full of poverty and suffering. Yona"s pain becomes her determination to set her kingdom right and take back the throne. Hak and Yona chase after the legend of the dragon warriors that can lend the true heir their power. These powerful and charming men find themselves quite moved by the resilient princess and would give her both their lives and maybe even their hearts!
Reverse harems tend to have different formulas than male-centered harems but each have their own appeal. Often times crude humor like accidental gropings are replaced with guys becoming flustered while the main girl remains unaware. Often times, there"s a bit more sentimentality and a serious lack of physical activity. Akatsuki no Yona stands out as a reverse harem for its extraordinary characters and battle scenes which it shares with both Code: Realize and Sengoku Night Blood. Our comparison anime share a unique theme themselves as they have characters popular from history, be they real or fictional. Of course, the big theme they all share are all the lovely potential romance options for our lovely leading ladies! Whether you were pulled in by Yona"s fierceness or her handsome entourage, you"ll surely find something you like in Code: Realize and Sengoku Night Blood.
Hey friends! I reside in Georgia and use my degree in Japanese primarily to (barely) read doujinshi that hasn’t been translated. Beyond deciding who is best girl in whatever I happen to be watching, I really enjoy ballroom dancing, reading, crying over dating sims, karaoke, and being surrounded by beautiful things~ (You know, scenery, décor, boys, stuff like that). I also love talking about passions with others!
