Mahouka is pretty damn … prude, I guess? As you can see from the character designs, every bit of flesh is covered. Bare shanks are almost the epitome of fanservice in Mahouka (and are celebrated as such), it’s very light on harem elements too, most girls have or get their respective partners. Very monogamous.

It's funny because to your average person, I'd think that something with those elements in it would illicit a pretty strong 'lolol japan' response.


Mahouka is totally not (tm) incest because she isn’t romantically interested in her brother. Really. (lol)

But yeah, when did that siscon stuff become so mainstream?


About 1684 according to Wikipedia.

It does have siscon-brocon stuff,
It does have harem tendencies,
But that's not the reason most people reading the LN or manga. If you wanna see a series with action, secret organization in a big scale and the war between them, special ability, overqualified main chara(s), and god-knows-so-many-things-the-author-wrote-about-its-worlds-tools-ability-lineage-systems-blablabla-so-detail-that-many-of its-LN-readers-wonder-what-will they-do-to-cover-that-explanation-in-the-anime, try this...

spoiler[
the harem stuff is largely sidestepped. honestly the main character has at best 3 girls interested in him romantically, 1 of them is his sister, who he feels nothing but brotherly love for, another he told the truth of the matter, and she is looking to move on, and 1 of them is in question. ]


as a matter of a fact there is a lot of couple pairings in the series, so it isn't like the MC is the focus of all the female attention. far from it.

Errr someone at previous page have said he really really doesn't like spoiler so... Anyway, that's why I said it as 'tendencies' and 'not the reason people reading'. spoiler[I thought romance that counts more than 3 people (if it's 3 then it's triangle love right?), and only one who becomes the love interest, is counted as harem? or is it that if there are side pairings it doesn't count as harem? And btw ain't it 4 if you counted the "fallen" one that chose another man Wink ]

spoiler[ like i said, he has no romantic interest in any of them. honoka he told he doesn't have any romantic feelings, and she said she's going to find someone else, his sister, well, we don't know if she's just unnaturally attached to him or actually seeking a relationship. and mayumi we do not know. we know she likes to tease him, but seeking a relationship? its unknown. ]
