Harem mc has male friend
>personality and looks are more or less equal with him
>personality
>Sunohara
The best harem I've ever read is Jitsu Wa because it does the exact opposite of that. All the MC's friends are actually fleshed out respected characters who interact and get into a relationship with the girls.
Maybe, if Sunohara wasn't retarded in his interactions w/ the girls, they would've liked him more? I dunno, just a thought.
Why post Sunohara when there are actual examples of what you described?
The only girls that shit on Sunohara were Kyou and Tomoyo.
Oh, and Misae. In the VN Sunohara tries to skin her cat so he can sell its fur, by the way.
>That one scene where Kyou hits on Sunohara
Sunohara is best wingman. Tomoya doesn't deserve him.
Only eunuchs are permitted in a harem. How does this come as a surprise?
What would you rather have, the harem owner getting cucked?
This is why I wish Little Busters received a sequel, as everyone put themselves in a pretty unique situation.

>Sunohara is best wingman
>tfw basically played the VN only to see him being a bro and dropped it as soon as it looked like he wasnt going to be there anymore
We need more wingmen.
Sunohara is just comic relief in most of the routes. From what I can recall he's only actually helpful in Kyou's and Nagisa's routes, and I guess at the end of Mei's route. He's only in After Story for a few scenes and he has a cameo in Tomoyo After. So yeah if you were playing the VNs for Sunohara I can see why you would be disappointed.
There's always the joke route where Tomoya turns gay and makes Sunohara date him, of course.
Sunohara definitely could have taken an imouto route if he wanted to.
>posts sunohara as example
It's a pity that harems are going full fantasy and removing even the Irrelevant Comic Relief Male Best Friend so that the cast is just the MC and 20 girls who worship him.
Actually I went in without knowing anything besides the fact that it has the nakige tag. Got bored and only enjoyed the VN when Sunohara was present, leading to the already posted results.
They are either that or homo for the MC.
>tfw you will see a based bro get his own harem.
How about a whole series where the MC is the best friend to the harem-center.
>Ore wo Suki Nano wa Omae Dake ka yo
Ah, a MC who I can actually self insert to.
...

Sunohara should have been a girl
>Spanish PTSD kicks in
Tomoya too.

But this is canon
