The year 2025 is shaping up to be a banner year for the genre, with a mix of highly-anticipated sequels and brand-new adaptations set to hit the airwaves. From fantastical isekai adventures to classic high school rom-coms, the upcoming season promises to deliver an abundance of love triangles, hilarious misunderstandings, and, of course, plenty of waifus to go around. This guide will give you a comprehensive look at every confirmed harem anime for 2025 so far, so you can prepare your watch list accordingly.

The Highly-Anticipated Sequels

While new series are always exciting, it’s the sequels to fan-favorite shows that have the community buzzing. 2025 is bringing back some of the most popular harem franchises, promising to continue their beloved stories and expand on the established cast of characters.

• The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You Season 2: This is arguably the most anticipated sequel of the year. The first season of this meta-comedy harem took the genre to a whole new level with its self-aware humor and a main character who genuinely loves all of his girlfriends. The second season is set to continue the madness, with protagonist Rentarou Aijou’s ever-growing family of girlfriends. The show’s ability to give each character a unique personality and meaningful screen time is a huge part of its charm, and the new season is expected to double down on this formula.
• My Dress-Up Darling Season 2: While not a traditional harem in the same vein as 100 Girlfriends, My Dress-Up Darling has all the makings of a beloved romance series with harem elements. The first season’s focus on the relationship between Wakana Gojo and Marin Kitagawa was a critical and commercial success. The new season is expected to explore the dynamic between the two as they grow closer and introduce new characters that will add a layer of complexity to their relationship.
• Rent-A-Girlfriend Season 4: The controversial but undeniably popular series returns for its fourth season. The show’s protagonist, Kazuya Kinoshita, and his bizarre dating life continue to be a source of both frustration and entertainment for the fanbase. The new season promises to delve deeper into the relationships between Kazuya and the various “rental” girlfriends, and fans are eagerly waiting to see if the love triangle will ever be resolved.

Brand-New Adaptations

In addition to the returning favorites, a number of popular manga and light novels are finally getting their long-awaited anime adaptations in 2025. These new series offer fresh takes on the harem genre, with unique premises and a new cast of characters to fall in love with.

• I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!: This series is a perfect blend of isekai, mecha, and harem. It follows a protagonist who is reincarnated as a villain in a sci-fi world and has to navigate a new life while being surrounded by a number of beautiful women who are drawn to his surprisingly kind heart. The show’s mix of action and comedy makes it a must-watch for fans of both genres.
• I Got Married to the Girl I Hate Most in Class: A unique take on the “married couple” trope, this series follows a couple who are forced into a relationship despite their mutual hatred for each other. The premise is a comedic goldmine, and the show’s slow-burn romance is a refreshing change of pace from the more action-oriented harems. While the central premise is a two-person romance, the series is known for its ensemble cast and the numerous “love interests” that are often a source of comedy.
• The Shiunji Family Children: This is a classic “sibling” harem with a twist. The series follows a boy who lives in a house full of girls who are all “family” in a complicated and sometimes absurd way. The show’s focus on the daily lives of the characters and their hilarious antics is what makes it so charming, and it’s a perfect fit for fans of slice-of-life and comedy.
• Please Put Them On, Takamine-san: This series is a romantic comedy that is sure to be a fan favorite. The premise is a simple one: a boy who is a pervert and a girl who is a tsundere. The comedy comes from their constant banter and the boy’s attempts to get her to wear various “costumes” for his own amusement. It’s a classic comedy setup that is sure to be a hit with fans of the genre.

The year 2025 is shaping up to be a great year for harem anime. With a mix of returning fan-favorites and new, exciting series, there is something for everyone. Whether you’re a long-time fan of the genre or a newcomer looking for your next obsession, the upcoming lineup is sure to provide hours of entertainment and a whole lot of love.
