1. Kiniro no Corda: Primo Passo (La Corda D’Oro ~Primo Passo~)

  • Episodes: 25
  • Aired: October 2006 - March 2007

Hino Kahoko is part of the normal branch at her school, but there exists a music branch. The music branch students are usually the only ones to participate in the school’s annual music competition, but this year, Kahoko has met a fairy who has entered her into the music competition and given her a magical violin.

Perhaps the one reverse harem that comes to mind immediately when watching Magic-Kyun! Renaissance is La Corda D’Oro ~Primo Passo~, which is the first season of La Corda D’Oro if you haven’t seen it yet. The first thing you will notice is how Kahoko seems to be lacking in talent like Kohana, but she is surrounded by these talented musicians who seem to think that she’s got the talent to participate. However, the boys will teach Kahoko that while she may not believe it, she has real talent hidden beneath everything.

Kahoko helps each one of the bishounen in La Corda D’Oro ~Primo Passo~, discover something within themselves they would not have otherwise found out while they help Kahoko realize there’s more to her than she believes. There is no doubt that La Corda D’Oro ~Primo Passo~ is a lot like Magic-Kyun! Renaissance.


2. Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 1000%

  • Episodes: 13
  • Aired: July 2011 - September 2011

Nanami Haruka dreams of becoming a composer so that she can one day write for the idol of her dreams, Ichinose Hayato. Accomplishing this means that she must attend Saotome Academy, which is known for their performing arts studies. While Haruka is meeting all sorts of talented people at Saotome Academy, one man sticks out to her the most.

The next anime that is no doubt like Magic-Kyun! Renaissance has to be Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 1000%, which also has a sequel playing this season (be sure to catch up and watch it!). Much like La Corda D’Oro ~Primo Passo~, Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 1000% is comparable to Magic-Kyun! Renaissance due to the presence of a heroine who clearly does not see her own talent, but she finds herself surrounded by talented young men who all bring out something special that Haruka wasn’t even aware existed.

Much like Magic-Kyun! Renaissance, you get to witness the changes Haruka instills in everyone’s life in Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 1000%. She brings something special to the table, and these talented boys find that they really need her, regardless of whether they were aware of it before.

3. Fruits Basket

  • Episodes: 26
  • Aired: July 2001 - December 2001

Tohru was living with her grandfather after the loss of her other but when his home needed to be renovated, Tohru took to living in a tent outside. It was here where Tohru was found by her classmate Souma Yuki who invited her to stay with his family for the time being. Unfortunately, Tohru discovered the dark secret of the Souma while living there: members of the Souma family turn into animals of the Chinese zodiac when embraced by members of the opposite sex!

And now, we have Fruits Basket, which isn’t really a reverse harem nor is it a bishounen anime, but it shan’t be neglected! Like the others, Fruits Basket features Tohru, a girl who seems like your typical airhead, but in fact, she may be the key to healing the members of the Souma family who have been wrought with anguish since childhood. Tohru does not have talent in any way, but she has a lot of love, something that she is ready to give to anyone who needs it. Luckily, that is just what the members of the Souma family need.

However, underlying the rather lightheartedness that is Fruits Basket, there is more than meets the eye. Every character seems to have his or her own story and dark past. Whether it's love, loss, or feelings of abandonment, Tohru may be just the person to fix everything.

Starmyu is the only anime on this list of 6 anime like Magic-Kyun! Renaissance that isn’t a reverse harem (or reverse harem-like, in Fruits Basket’s case). However, do not let that deter you from watching it!

  • Read More

Tsubasa is new to Gandala Music, but she’s been given a very important job. Tsubasa has been tasked with supervising B-Project, a unit consisting of three different idol groups. As Tsubasa learns what it takes to be the manager of such an important group, she’ll find out that there is more to each idol than their on-stage persona.

B-Project: Kodou*Ambitious is a reverse harem anime much like Magic-Kyun! Renaissance where the main character, Tsubasa, takes her time to get to know each one of the boys apart of B-Project. While Tsubasa does so due to her responsibilities, each one of the bishounen finds that there is something about Tsubasa that fascinates him, much like the boys in Magic-Kyun! Renaissance who discover that while Kohana does not seem all that extraordinary, there is a special quality about her beyond that of magic. While not much can be said about the rest of Magic-Kyun! Renaissance quite yet, B-Project: Kodou*Ambitious has its fair share of drama, not to mention that there is a good amount of fan service for those who just love the bishounen in bishounen anime.

However, should Yui fail at rehabilitating these gods, they will all be stuck in this world for eternity!

Last but certainly not least, we bring to you Kamigami no Asobi which shares a similar storytelling technique as Magic-Kyun! Renaissance. You get to explore the relationship between the main character and each of the boys as Yui tries to draw them out of their shells to build a relationship with them, much the way Kohana does in Magic-Kyun! Renaissance. They both also possess supernatural aspects which take away from most of the slice of life elements. However, Kamigami no Asobi does feature some rather interesting backstories for many of the characters, including Hades. If you want to get to know any of the characters, well, you’ll have to watch and find out yourself.
