Talking about the figurative harem... anyone who fancies the guy/girl at the center of it. Of course, who does and who doesn't is usually a matter of interpretation.

Here's a quote from that volume.

The name of this feeling, Mikoto doesn't know. What kind it is sorted under, she doesn't realize yet. However, today, this day, this time, this moment, Misaka Mikoto knows.
By your reasoning, that's not love.

Quote:
Index-Says it in volume 1 (though for me teens saying I love you is so common these days)
By your reasoning, could be non-romantic.

It's true that for Mikoto it doesn't say love in there. It's hard to explain it but its something thats like common knowledge.


As I said for Index, I don't feel from her that she likes him at the same level as Mikoto. Saying she loves him out of nowhere was random for me. So her being involved is meh.

They both do get jealous (act jealous) when he is with other girls though.

And Kanzaki gets embarrased when people say she has a crush on Touma. Similar enough.

Not really. People get embarrassed when wearing embarrassing things/doing embarrassing things.

Jealousy is much different.

True, but the question is why was she wearing/doing that embarrassing thing in the first place.

If she was the sort of person to do that kind of thing as a thank you, she wouldn't get embarrassed about it later.

In any case, what I was saying was that Kanzaki was embarrassed about people thinkig she has a crush on Touma because she does have a crush on him, similar to how Mikoto and Index get annoyed and jealous when he's with other girls because they like him.

She's not but Touma stacked up the favors and she repayed him. Though Motaharu did make her cave in. It's not something she was totally willing to do.

Some people do get embarrassed even if they don't like the person. Oh how wonderful elementary school was.

Some people also get jealous even if they don't like the person, attention seekers are not uncommon.

Yeah but Mikoto and Index haven't shown to be attention seekers. Index maybe.

She's not an imbecile or something. If she didn't want to do it, she wouldn't have done it at all, no matter what Tsuchimikado says. That's why This proves to me that she likes him,because she actually did it.

I would ask what elementary school has to with an eighteen year old, but you have a point.

The one part with the cosplay is just a cosplay.

So far whether or not she is a part of the harem is a matter of opinions because one thing like cosplaying isn't enough for me to think she is in his harem.

Elementary is where kids would say you like some girl/guy to piss you off.

Index case can be also a matter of interpretation... if I'm correct you like Oreimo right? Though I cannot say it for sure, Index and Touma's relationship could be like the brother-sister in that other novel... something that makes you wonder if it's sibling love or something more... Of course, Index is not "this cute."

Now that I remember, even Tsuchimikado was surprised she actually complied.

This... at the end of the day, it's an opinion, not an invalid one, but an opinion.

Its whatever now. I'm not one for incest nor did I like Kyouskes really unmanly crying in the final special because he missed his sister. Yes I have a sister who is currently gone for a month. No I don't miss her.

Ehh, to me, the fact that she did a cosplay for him in a sexy maid outfit is proof enough that she likes him

Are you guys seriously spending your day debating what the qualifications to be in an anime harem are?

There's a difference between when a person should die ten times over from body trauma and what qualifications a person has to meet before they "like" someone. Besides, that debate had the thread more alive than it had been in months.

Well... I'm bored... so I just might... well, I might just stay reading the arguments without much interference, maybe I'll get some popcorn too.

Edit: Then again, the argument is probably over already, it's not like it's going anywhere.
