So, for me, Love Hina counts (Naru, Mutsumi, Shinobu and Motoko), Ai Yori Aoshi does not (Aoi and possibly Tina). Canvas 2 definitely does not. Canvas 2 is just a plain, old fashioned love triangle (which is used in most romances, not just anime/manga).
I agree that people tend to overuse the "harem" title.
BTW, love your new sig, Mangatron.

I like the way you think, and thats the same thing I've always thought. If there is at least 3 girls who like the guy, and the guy somewhat shows the same affection, therefore that is what really describes harem. Because, if there is 2 girls who love 1 guy, that is called a love triangle, and of course if there's one girl after 1 guy, that's called a relationship
Thanks, my sig melts my brain everytime, every post I make
Furudanuki, I'll get back to you later on the Hagino issue, right now I'm in portable mode (laptop) and my desktop has all the info I need to compile up with the big three merchandise (game, manga and anime). Although I could use my manga knowledge without my desktop, I prefer my 3 way attack
