    I should really pick up QQ. I heard that the protagonist is the only decent one in the harem subgenre aside from Rentarou.

      I haven’t watched the show, but I read the QQ manga and liked it. I think the MC is definitely on the better side of the harem protagonist spectrum.

      It’s hard to talk about QQ without also bringing up Bokuben. I think that I liked the MC better in QQ, but I liked the (manga) ending and the girls better in Bokuben. Bokuben in particular does an interesting thing with its ending (only in manga, I don’t think the anime finished the story) that I enjoyed a lot (but if I talk any more about it will definitely spoil).

      Well my only real exposure to harem MCs are these two, lol. I liked QQ a lot, it’s a little slow at first but it’s very charming. Fuu-kun in QQ is a good guy, he’s not a saint like Rentaro but the show also isn’t batshit insane like 100 Girlfriends, so he’s more of a real person. You always like him though, at least I did, and you believe he cares about all of them. At the very least it’s a fun light watch.
