Generic, right. It was my first time seeing a ghost harem anime.

I wouldn't call this a ghost harem show, since there is only a single ghost, and although I only saw about 3/4's of the series I didn't see all of the girls going after the main character, or for that manor, all the guys going after the ghost character with the intent of entering a romantic relationship.

As for other examples of Ghost love, one I can think of off the top of my head is; "My Lovely Ghost Kana" which is an interesting manga, if you can hang on through some of the weirder "scenes".

I saw the whole series and did not see harem. Two girls liking a guy is a love triangle to me. I am being picky, but I do not want any newcomer to the series to be misled.

I wasn't referring to the main character. I was mocking your post about "boy loves ghost" by saying ghost harem it was sarcastically implying that it is the entire cast loves that the ghost with emphasis on the ghost being the target not the members of the harem. There were no romantic relationships in AnoHana so my use of love is strictly platonic.

I also didn't call for other examples. I have no doubt that there are stories where a character falls in love with a ghost but I don't see how a couple of examples makes what was found in AnoHana a generic "boy loves ghost" story.

That is what I also saw, so I'm glad I'm not alone in this idea. Didn't you also think spoiler[that the cross dresser was somewhat interested in the ghost] as well? Or is that just me?
