Pseudo Harem ( Japanese: 疑似ハーレム, Hepburn: Giji Hāremu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yū Saitō. It was posted as a webcomic on Saitō's Twitter account from June 2018 to March 2021, and was later parallelly serialized in Shogakukan's Monthly Shōnen Sunday from January 2019 to March 2021, with its chapters collected into six tankōbon volumes. An anime television series adaptation produced by Nomad premiered in July 2024.
Eiji Kitahama, a second-year high school student, yearned for popularity more than anything. His days were filled with dreams of being surrounded by admiring peers. Enter Rin Nanakura, his junior in the drama club, who decided to use her extraordinary acting skills to help Eiji achieve this lofty goal. With her talent, she crafted a harem of loving girls, each one showering Eiji with affection. But behind these diverse characters was Rin herself, and her feelings for Eiji were genuine, though Eiji remains completely unaware.
As Eiji enjoyed the attention from the various "girls," he couldn't help but be enchanted by Rin's vibrant performances. Her colorful and dynamic acting brought joy to his life, leaving him wondering if the actress behind these roles would ever find a way into his heart. The line between reality and performance blurred, creating a captivating drama of its own, where Eiji might discover that the most genuine love comes from the one person who had been there all along.
