Battle Action Harem Highschool Side Character Quest (No SV, you are the Waifu)

Reader mode
Yanno, fellas... I'm honestly hoping for a subversion of the "superhuman" part of the still missing "superhuman childhood friend" character. Rather than double up on physical superhuman-ness (because, come on, we have Anna as the combat monster of the show), whats missing is The Smart Guy.

...Now, of whom to make an expy... Well, there's certainly plenty of fit-able characters, and the faux-anime is partially based on Infinite Stratos--

*RECORD SCRATCH*

NO! Goddamnit Bunny-Fufu, GET OUT!!!

Ok, bad idea... unless... Yes! After all, it doesn't have to be an anime expy, right? :evil:

Y'know, it seems odd to me to see Kouji's attitude on girlfriends. If this were a simple quest, this western man-whore-like behavior would be par for the course, but the framing device is that this is an actual shounen animu made-in-Nihon. This kind of behavior is the antithesis of what they want in their little brats, so MCs with that kind of attitude are basically always treated as perverts, striking out with every girl except the designated heroine, which is almost always the tsundere childhood friend (thebonly exception I can think of is Urusei Yatsura's Ataru Moroboshi, which fits the stereotype through Shinobu, but also has Lum).
 
True. But this thing has subverted alot of stuff already. So maybe the MC is being done so as well. Also we don't get audience POV. So maybe the times he's not around us he's being a shown as a perv.
 
Phew, going through 449 pages took longer than I thought. Well, now I'm ready for the next update.

Now see, my experience is that the childhood friend almost inevitably loses the 'harem race' unless they're in an anime like Love Hina that romanticizes some promise they made when they were stupid young. Usually the first past the harem post is the mysterious stranger (/princess/alien/vampire/magician/chuunibyou) that drops into his life in the first episode.

Koji is a little unusual for a harem protagonist in that he appears to possess an actual sex drive like a normal human being, but you know, DxD taught us that a pervert can be a protagonist, and be loved for it.

Most unusual harem protagonist I've seen is the one in Dog Days. He's not a pervert and he realizes that the harem exists, but (as he explains to a girl who is NOT in the harem when she asks about it) he consciously chooses to ignore it because he's got other goals that he's focused on and he'll still consider himself a kid until he accomplishes those goals.
 
If you want unusual and unique harem protaganist, see Keima Katsuragi.

This guy managed to play harem tropes and subverts them, in one go!

Though the childhood friend ship sunk so bad and it was my favorite ship too.:cry:
