I like Sekirei

[feotakahari]

The premise screams “one male human romantically bonded with many female nonhumans”—in other words, bog-standard harem romance. Then we meet a female human who bonds to a cute male nonhuman. Soon we have straight, gay, lesbian, and bisexual humans bonding to male, female, and intersex nonhumans. Sometimes they’re monogamous, sometimes they’re polyamorous, and sometimes their bond isn’t romantic in nature. The story focus is still on the one guy with many girls, but I like the sense of a larger world in which all kinds of relationships can exist.
