Pretty much the "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons" effect.

[@wakipaki7381]

It is hypothesized by scientists that the recent resurgence of monk lifestyles and Tibetan tourism can be attributed to this drastic reaction to a Harem scenario. This is a very serious choice to make about your life, but it is imperative to commit to this path fully and have no doubts if undertaken. Otherwise, it is entirely possible your Harem will track you down to the airport and prevent you from leaving via wacky hijinks, possibly involving a female security guard at the checkpoint. Another common mistake is that you merely fantasize about running away from your problems and living a simple lifestyle far away. In these cases, your vision of this life is usually transmitted into a bubble above your head for your Harem to see and they will typically be angered or hurt by your implication of abandoning all of them, leading to severe Tsundere beatings and drastically increased chances of a Yandere forming.

[@helpmepls7154]

In the circumstances in which you hear the phrase "ara ara" while alone there are two main actions that can be taken. 1. The path of least resistance( least dangerous) 2. Struggle ( danger levels scale with personality of the criminal) We reccomend that you choose option one as you will find that they will go easy on you and you have a much higher survival rate than option two. In the case that you have chosen option two tis will lead to a few different outcomes based on certain tropes, cliches and variables. 1. Death. (30%) 2. Successful escape (2%) 3. Complete loss of the variable "virginity" (56%) 4. They call for backup ( this may only lead to 3 and 1) (9%) 5. Lesser crimes committed. (3%) In the event that you are a shota in this situation the only outcomes are 1. Death (45%) 2. Mind break (18%) 3. Complete loss of the variable "Virginity" (100%) To protect yourself from this threat is to lock yourself in your room and only leave when necessary, check each room in the house when you leave and return, when spotted by the offender you must call the police and lock all doors and windows. If inside the house, block your room's door and lock it as well as the windows, then inform the correct authorities. In the event where the offender is a yandere you must do the following procedures. 1. Lock yourself a room 2. Barricade the doors and windows 3. Inform the police of an armed intruder in your house 4. Find a weapon and keep it on you at all times 5. Wait until police arrive. If the barricades are broken by the yandere do one of the following procedures 1. Commit suicide 2. If on the first floor, exit through window 3. Run as far and fast as you can 4. Accept your fate Ths has been an important public service announcement. Stay safe and inform authorities of any serial offenders you may come across.

[@Siathuan]

If you know your local Harem includes a Yandere and you offer that confession to anybody else, you most likely deserve what's coming - but your prospective girlfriend almost certainly does not. All the same, you should laminate it. If you _are_ confessing to a Yandere, it prevents possibly fatal misunderstandings, and if you aren't, you should still beware the Tsundere's reaction.

[@triprs4896]

Regarding the prospective girlfriend: well, you could either influence your Yandere to become tsundere, or manipulate your Tsundere (it's the Tsundere. right?) into becoming a yandere. Either way, get her interested in *hard* rock and motorcycles (hard drugs optional). Point is, the more visibly menacing and outwardly delinquent she becomes, the LESS likely you are to get f*cking stabbed all over, School Days-style! )) And the more time she spends riding her sled and kicking a$$ in shady biker bars, the more Character Development she gets *beyond* her "girl with a crush" cliche!

[@SherrifOfNottingham]

Three major things you missed in a proper harem. 1. The rival, this can be a character of any gender that puts you into a position of constant, but friendly, rivalry. They pose a small threat to your harem by either instigating trouble with girls in the harem, or is a direct dating candidate for the girls to consider. This character usually has a lot of good traits but will inevitably have one irredeemable trait that won't threaten your harem in the long term. This character never usually gets one of the rejected girls that you turn down. 2. The Ugly friend, this is usually a male character that is in somehow a friendship with you. Considered ugly due to either personality traits, or reputation, rarely but not impossible they are actually physically unattractive. The point of this character is to make you look better by comparison, helping affirm that the girls should find you to be the best available option. Usually this character has a redeeming quality which will make him desirable enough for one of the rejected girls to go out with him and will more often than not, end up fucking your sister so you don't have to. 3. Gay boyfriend, this character, typically male but can also be occupied by the childhood tomboy friend, is not a rival character but is usually attractive enough to mildly threaten your position with other girls like the rival. Is actually a candidate in your harem that does want you, but expects the love to be unrequited due to the main character thinking of them as a male character. They are able to have the closest premarital relationship with you as one of the candidates due to your oblivious behavior. This character if male may be the otokonoko, or "trap" and dress as a female to no real effect, if female will struggle at dressing up like a girl never getting the main character to think they are a girl. And as a bonus 4. The Milfdere, this older sister or motherly character will probably be best girl by taking care of you at all turns, thinking and helping you with everything and will likely give you advice so you can choose a different girl. Which is probably ideal, as wanting to bang the motherly character (which may be your actual mother or actual older sister) is kind of strange, not as strange as the imouto or little sister character, but still wrong.

[@Buphido]

5. Keep a goddamn timetable, and whenever you make plans with a girl, check it and immediately write it down if you are free. If you don‘t, you will inevitably end up arranging two dates in the same timeslot. Should this happen to you, despite all of your planning, immediately cancel one of the two dates. Don’t attempt to run back and forth between them, smarter AND faster guys than you have tried and failed before. 6. When opening ANY door, expect the unexpected. Always knock, always ask if you can enter. If there is no reply, knock again. If there is still no reply, slightly open the door and peer inside a little bit. Be extremely careful here; Should you see a tiny piece of what might be a girl, immediately close the door and apologize. Keep holding it closed until you are absolutely certain that what might have been a girl is calm, then repeat the entire process. 7. If one or more of your harem girls show signs of mental instability, please immediately consult an expert. You might be in a splatter anime. Do not try to solve the issue yourself; you will get everyone in your surroundings killed.

If you're in a harem and it seems like a girl is going to make out with you, lock the door. In fact, nail the door shut, board up the windows, and take the battery out of your phone.

This of course knocks her over and she falls onto you in a compromising position, you then discover that the cable guy is the father of one of the other harem girls, and it was bring your daughter to work day, and that girl was either the tsundere or the yandere, depending on which one is in your harem that you haven't picked, and severe bodily harm ensues

Might be even better to play it straight and have the guy successfully implementing every countermeasure, but at the clear expense of how miserable it'd be to constantly be on edge and on the run from activating harem members and/or being chased said girls and the impossibility of forming a meaning bond with anybody because of the harem on his tail.

[@nobodysdawn493]

That’s kind of what Haganai did, but not exactly.

[@chrisschoenthaler5184]

This reminds me of a manga I’ve heard of where the main character realizes he’s supposed to be the protagonist of a harem series. The only problem with that? He’s gay, so every day is hell for him. No idea if it’s good or not, but the premise sounds amusing.

Harem anime twist. All the girls hung around the main protag because they actually were attracted to each other. He spends three seasons trying to decide which one he wants to be with only to finally learn that none of them are actually interested in a relationship with him, they just have a confusing love dodecahedron with each other. It starts when his female best friend moves back to his town, another girl or two wants to approach her but isnt sure how so they pretend to want to spend time with you, those girls bring in a few others who all want to get with each other, but again, because they are pretending to be interested in you none of them think they have a chance of confessing to each other. The tsundere isnt attacking you because of the usual reasons, its because she wants you to leave her alone so she can figure out how to approach her crush! The shy girl stutters all the time because she doesnt know how to reject you without exposing who she is after, so on and so forth. The hard part will be making sure everything is ambiguous enough that in hindsight it makes sense but the secret isnt given away beforehand.

Eh., regardless of how many girls enter your harem, you have to pick the first girl that you met in the story.

Not necessarily. While a Zeppelli will generally decay very quickly after being exposed to a Joestar catalyst, some forms have been observed to last several months before the process completes.

[@ashikjaman1940]

Spin type Zeppeli's tend to live longer than their ripple type brethren

Just being a younger sibling usually works in your favour because first born sons of the Zeppeli family work as Joestar magnets that guard you from getting in contact with said Joestars

Just don’t come in contact with a Joestar and you should be fine. Which unfortunately is very unlikely sense most observed Zeppeli’s found themselves developing a symbiotic relationship with a Joestar, seemly never award that that relationship will lead to an early death toll that last minute.

Maybe he's asexual and doesn't want to be with any of the girls, but they can't take a hint.* Who knows?
