A recent chapter of Undead Unluck raised the question of which girl Rip Tristain would take as his wife, Laila Mirah, or her sister Latla. One is the girl he promised to take as his wife, but he had more on-screen chemistry with the other. The wedding day saw all three of these people married to each other; Rip took both sisters as his wife. This was likely a surprise for many. However, those more familiar with modern anime trends may have seen this development a mile away.In the past, anime where the main character had to choose one of many girls to be his girlfriend or wife was the norm. It still is, but there’s been a recent uptick in series where the main character gets more than one girl by the end. This is either done through genuine harem endings or by exploring alternate routes. Whatever it is, more anime are encouraging the idea of polygamy – Date A Live, Demon Slayer, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, etc. Even older anime like Fate/stay night is exploring the idea of its protagonist ending up with other girls where it wouldn’t have with its original 2004 installment. The number of harem endings will only increase as more anime are produced, so one must consider the series that have gotten on the train.Monogamy also works best from a storytelling angle. If the main character can only have one person as their partner, then audiences will be left on the edge of their seat, wondering which girl will be chosen. One could further argue that harem endings are unnecessary because the girls don’t need their feelings returned to be happy. If their character arcs are completed thanks to the main character, they may be grateful to him, which may translate to romantic advances. However, they don’t need their feelings returned to complete their self-actualization.
