While watching a romance of any kind, it's easy for fans to invest in the budding relationships at hand. In many cases, there are multiple love interests involved, making the decision even harder for the protagonist and fans to pick a side. It all pays off in the end, though, when the protagonist finally gets the romance they were after.
Interestingly enough, many harem anime do not end with the protagonist committing to one single love interest despite the romantic gestures and hints throughout the story. There are some special cases, however, where a harem anime will decide to break the norm and choose one love interest over all the rest. Which harem anime weren't afraid to conclude their stories with committed relationships?
