HaremA harem includes three or more characters who potentially show romantic interest in a male protagonist. The sex, gender, or orientation of the harem members is irrelevant as long as they exclusively, or at least primarily, are vying for the affections of the same individual - who may or may not reciprocate towards one, several, or none of these romantic rivals. | ||

IncestIncest is defined as romantic or sexual relations between people classified as being too closely related to marry each other. On Anime-Planet, we apply this tag when: 1) the characters are related by blood, or 2) the characters are related through adoption or marriage and have a long history together. If characters have just met through marriage and develop a romantic relationship, even if the taboo aspect is discussed, we do not apply this tag. | ||

Love TriangleA love triangle is a set of interconnected romantic relationships between three people. These anime focus on the trials and tribulations of characters who may at first be in love, uninterested, or completely oblivious, as they untangle their feelings, make their choices, and try to win the heart of their beloved. More complex sets of relationships involving more than three people, sometimes called love polygons, may also be included. | ||
MechaMecha are self-propelling machines that are modeled after humans; some can change into multiple, non-humanoid formats as well. They're usually controlled by an internal pilot or by remote, but are sometimes sentient beings that move autonomously. A mecha's size ranges from bulky, wearable armor to a massive, towering contraption and beyond. While mecha have a wide range of applications, such as making manual labor easier, they are most commonly portrayed as heavily-armed war machines. | ||
OmegaverseThese manga are classified as Omegaverse, a genre that takes place in an alternate universe where there are six genders. In addition to being a man or a woman, you are also an alpha, a beta, or an omega: classifications based on precise physical and behavioral characteristics. This classification is often a hierarchical social status where alphas are considered superior, betas are ruled by alphas, and omegas are treated as inferior by all. Common Omegaverse tropes include omegas going into heat, attracting mates with pheromones, Fated Lovers, and male pregnancy. | ||
PolyamoryThese manga focus on polygamous or polyamorous relationships. Unlike Love Triangles and Harems where two or more people compete for the affections of a single person, poly relationships feature three or more people who are all consenting partners in a Romantic or sexual relationship. | ||
Reverse HaremA reverse harem includes three or more characters who potentially show romantic interest in a female protagonist. The sex, gender, or orientation of the harem members is irrelevant as long as they exclusively, or at least primarily, are vying for the affections of the same individual - who may or may not reciprocate towards one, several, or none of these romantic rivals. |
