Harem Marriage (Japanese: ハレ婚。, Hepburn: Hare-Kon.) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by NON. It was serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine from July 2014 to June 2019, with its chapters collected in nineteen tankōbon volumes. A television drama adaptation premiered in January 2022.

Plot

Koharu finds that her boyfriend was a married man, who was cheating on his wife with her, and was the third guy to do so in a row. Desolate, Koharu decides to leave Tokyo and move back home, rejecting a future of love and marriage for simpler life. However, once she arrives, she discovers that the café that her parents ran is closed and they are heavily in debt. A man, Ryunosuke Date, who was following Koharu, offers her to pay their debt, but Koharu has to marry him. Koharu learns that her hometown has legalized polygamous marriages to counter declining birth rates and becomes Ryunosuke's third wife.

Characters

Koharu Date (伊達 小春, Date Koharu)
Portrayed by: Haruka Shimazaki[2]
Koharu Date (née Maezono (前園)) is the 22-year-old third wife of Ryunosuke. To save her family's home and café, she marries Ryunosuke and becomes his third wife. Koharu is short-tempered and often lashes out at slight annoyances. She was at first against polygamy and sexual intimacy due to past trauma caused by her exes, but she gradually resolves her issues as she comes to terms with her feelings for Ryunosuke, begins to get along with his other wives and becomes a bonding pillar in the Date family.
Ryunosuke Date (伊達 竜之介, Date Ryūnosuke)
Portrayed by: Yu Inaba[3]
Ryunosuke Date is the 25-year-old husband of Yuzu, Madoka and Koharu. He is a former celebrity pianist and is currently unemployed due to quitting the stage from anxiety. He is greedy and is not willing to settle for less than what he desires, including his three wives whom he wants all at once.
Yuzu Date (伊達 柚子, Date Yuzu)
Portrayed by: Yurina Yanagi[4]
Yuzu Date (née Ōtsu (大津)) is the 26-year-old first wife of Ryunosuke and is also the daughter of the town mayor who legalized polygamy. She has a typical gyaru look with notable large breasts. Despite her appearance, she does the majority of the domestic chores in the Date family and is a good cook. She is the mother of Ryunosuke's first child, Rinnosuke.
Madoka Date (伊達 まどか, Date Madoka)
Portrayed by: Nana Asakawa[5]
Madoka Date (née Saijō (西條)) is the 21-year-old second wife of Ryunosuke. She is a quiet beauty with short hair and often wears a kimono at home.
