Actually, no. The light novel and anime are relatively close to each other (same feel unlike campione or Hague). The harem aspect is about the same in both. There are girls who will like our mc, but his heart is set on Oba. Think SAO. There are other girls who like the mc, but he remains faithful to Oba.

No, my point in the first place is that even the light novel is not really a harem. Sure, there a few girls who like him (and even more in volume 6), but throughout it all his heart is dead set on Oba. It's similar to SAO where lots of girls like the mc, but he is set on Asuna.

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. |

If he acts like Keiichi does in Ah My Goddess, I would agree with you, but he is not. He is being temped by other advances and the relation between him and other girls are also ambiguous in the way that is similar to say Love Hina that includes many physical interaction and fantasies on his part. But really, I just love this series because of the historical element in it and how the series slowly shows the effect an outsider has in timeline. Though with that being said, I still think this timeline will turns out to be a paralleled timeline rather then an actually history-altering series when it is all say and done. I also can't wait for the introduction of Date, that chapter is of my favorite so far. The anime adaption is pretty good so far, and the LN is now officially licensed in Taiwan which mean I now got another series I can officially own.

I agree with whsie, in fact, he set his own on Nobuna, although there are many other beautiful girls around him, his heart truly desire on Oda Well, but I do not deny it's an harem since he wanted to make the kingdom full of woman.
