What is Reverse Harem anime?

Reverse harem, or sometimes also male harem, is the common name for the gender-reversed version of the usual harem genre. In a reverse harem, instead of the usual situation with several female characters focused on one male character, the viewer sees several male characters surrounding a single female character. Aside from the swapping of the characters' genders, the trope's details are mostly the same, with the majority of the changes relating to the differences in behavior between men and women of the characters' age range. The most notable exception is that, due to the most relevant characteristics of the trope's fan base, reverse harem authors tend to go for bishounen looks. Though they are also exceptions to the common harem genre, harems with homosexual relationships are not covered by reverse harem.

She finds it in the form of "Evol," a mysterious gene that has granted certain people special powers and is considered the next step in human evolution. But, as marvelous as this gene seems, its existence may lead to an unstoppable battle between humans for survival. However, as she becomes more entangled with the strange world of the "Evolvers," her life is suddenly disturbed by the arrival of four men: the cheerful idol Kira; the neuroscientist and Loveland University professor, Simon; the stoic CEO of Loveland Financial Group and Miracle Entertainment's benefactor, Zen; and her high school upperclassman Haku, a former delinquent now working as a police officer. As strange incidents begin to plague the city, will she be able to find out the truth about the "Evol" or "Black Swan," the organization behind numerous attacks from "Evolvers" and possibly connected to her father's death? What is her part to play in its plan, and how are the men around her connected to it all?

According to these men, there exists "Maremono," which are books that greatly affect their readers. On top of that, ever since the incident involving the girl's younger brother, she unwittingly gains the ability to see "Auras" (the sentiments of the Maremono which manifest as bright lights and are usually invisible to humans). It was as though fate were trying to drag the young girl in its flames. And then, even though apprehensive, the girl chooses to venture outside her bird cage. Jealousy, hatred, scorn, compassion, and love. What awaited the girl was the darkness of betrayal that had already begun to bewitchingly inlay the imperial capital. Toyed by and swayed within that darkness, will the young girl finally reach the truth after her struggles, or...? (Source: MAL News)
