On other hand, if one guy simultaneously hordes 5 girls without settling on anyone, I would definitely see that as a harem (assuming all the girls agree to this type of relation). I would even consider blockheads like Ichika in IS as having a harem because even though he isn't mentally aware of the harem around him, he is actually enjoying the semi-relational benefits (non-sexual) of having all the girls like him.

The mc in Oba is a bit different from the previous two cases. He is aware of his situation, but he never capitalizes on it (Volume 6 is the prime example) because there is always Oba's voice in the back of his head, which unconsciously keeps him very well in check. It's not that he doesn't want to establish a harem, it's just that he's too loyal to Oba.
He does actually make moves on girls besides Nobuna. Remember how he juggled
