Harem/Modern/2003 Titles

#
Harem: (Story/Location) This is a sub-genre of the "Romantic Comedy" genre. To qualify you have to have a single, dateless, nice guy who suddenly finds himself surrounded by a bunch of hot girls/women who are interested or attracted to him to varying degrees. The male lead may also live with many of these girls.

Modern: (Setting) These are titles which have a modern feel to them; the story takes place in the present day (of the creation of this anime), give or take a few years.

Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~
Rent This is the sequel to Ai Yori Aoshi based on the manga of the same name ("Enishi" means "Destiny"). It has been two years since Aoi met Kaoru at the train station. Since he and the other girls moved into Aoi's family's summer home, not much has changed. Kaoru has finished university and is now writing his thesis for a doctor's degree and even part-time working at the university institute. Kaoru and Aoi are still secretly seeing each other while the other girls (minus Miyabi) all have crushes on Kaoru.

Shikimori Kazuki is a 17-year old high school student at the prestigious school for magic users, Aoi Academy. All students have magical abilities and have a certain number of spells they can cast in their life -- normal students can cast several thousand spells and very powerful students, like the very rich Kazetsubaki Kuriko, can cast over 100,000 in their life. But for poor Kazuki-san, he can only cast eight. After that, if he attempts to use magic, it will only result in his turning to dust. As such, he is shunned by the girls at school and really has no friends to speak of.

True Love Story ~ Summer Days, and yet...
Watch Morisaki Yuuta (a shy boy attending second year of Tachikuka Koutou high school) lives together with his older sister Ruri; his best friend Momochi Seitaro is into secretly shooting photographs of various girls at school (for which all girls despise him). But while Yuuta isn't particularly interested in girls he seems to attact a number of them, be that Kiriya Satomi (whose bicycle the boy once fixed), or Mukai Yako (a sandbox friend of the siblings), or Arimori Hotomi (his classmate and "school madonna"), or Shinosaka Yuruki (who desperately wants to know more about boys), or Kamiya Nayu (the energetic computer club president) or even the shy and clumsy Kusunose Hina.
