History Main / HaremNanny

* Nekonome-sensei fills this role in ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'', as she's both Tsukune's homeroom teacher and the sponsor of the Newspaper Club.

* Chifuyu Orimura from ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'' is this for her little brother Ichika's ever-growing harem. She's also his homeroom teacher, dorm monitor, combat instructor, and did we mention she's also the strongest IS pilot? It doesn't help that she essentially took care of him while growing up so his world revolves around her to a degree. In the eyes of the harem, rather than being the Nanny, she's the Final Boss.

* Yoriko from ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'', who for added fun is also the mother of Mahiro, the central figure of the story's LoveDodecahedron. Thus the "nanny" aspect mainly comes about through her gentle but firm MamaBear attitude towards "[[AffectionateNickname Hiro-kun's]]" pursuers, though she is actually fond of the aliens living under her roof and even seems to be [[ShipperOnDeck playing matchmaker]] for Mahiro and Nyarko.

* Chizuru, as well as most older characters in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' (Albireo, Takemichi, Konoemon, ect.)

* BC in ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'' - a no-nonsense second in command of the space pirate crew composing most of the cast and one of the few females to not overreact to having males stuck with their AmazonBrigade. [[spoiler: Mainly because he's a DoubleAgent. Yes he.]]
* Anne the maid in ''LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'' watches with bemusement and a certain amount of cringing as numerous boys and a few girls all fall for her tomboyish and rather dim charge, who never notices a thing. She pretends not to understand why Katarina is so popular, but she admits to herself that she knows perfectly well why. She would probably die for Katarina herself even if she isn't part of the ever widening harem.
* Reine in ''LightNovel/DateALive''. While everyone in the organisation of Ratatoskr supports Shidou in his role of dating the Spirits, Reine appears more frequently than most and has the most serious personality (though even she has her {{Cloudcuckoolander}} moments). The light novels reveal the reason for her behaviour: [[spoiler:she's actually one aspect of the BigBad and Shidou making the Spirits fall in love with him is a core part of her plan.]]

* Anne the maid in ''LightNovel/DestructionFlagOtome'' watches with bemusement and a certain amount of cringing as numerous boys and a few girls all fall for her tomboyish and rather dim charge, who never notices a thing. She pretends not to understand why Katarina is so popular, but she admits to herself that she knows perfectly well why. She would probably die for Katarina herself even if she isn't part of the ever widening harem.

* Tomoe Nanjou in ''LightNovel/TsukiTsuki'' usually has to take care of his son's harem. Bonus points for at least half of the harem living in her house.

** Subverted in the case of Takamichi, as while he would otherwise be a straight HaremNanny, the heroine has a hard crush on him. [[spoiler:This is revealed to be more than just for laughs, as he reveals an angstier side of him when he rejects her advances, commenting that he is not worthy of being loved.]]

* Fujimura Taiga in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' is a partial fit for HaremNanny. She's definitely ''not'' cool as a cucumber (in fact, she's the main comic relief), but she's the gatekeeper of Shirou's harem; each time another girl invades his house, Shirou's first problem is how to explain it to Taiga.

* Shigure in ''Manga/FruitsBasket''.
** Except for the straight answer part.
** Hatori and Hatsuharu fit also.

* The main ones in ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'' are the Fujieda sisters Ayame and Kaede (but not at the same time; Kaede is the [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute convenient substitute]] when Ayame becomes unavailable from ''Sakura Wars 2'' onward), with the Grand-Mère taking this role in the third game. Ratchet Altair carries the torch in ''VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove'', though the trope can be subverted on a NewGamePlus if the player chooses to romance her.

** Though Ratchet is romanceable, subverting the trope.

* Haruka in ''Manga/LoveHina''.
* Subverted in ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' where Rito's little sister Mikan fills this role, despite being the youngest cast member. Subverted further in ''Darkness'' where Momo does well enough in this role that Mikan actually gets jealous and worries that she is being replaced. Despite the fact that Momo [[spoiler: is a full blown haremette; in fact she is trying to build Rito's UnwantedHarem [[HaremSeeker for him]].]] She's actually quite reliable and responsible other than that however.
* Tenchi's grandfather Yosho in ''Anime/TenchiMuyo''.
** Though he most definitely would ''not'' give Tenchi a straight answer. And then third [=OVA=] introduced a whole bunch of these characters (Seto and Airi at the very least).

* Ken Sanada in ''Anime/DualParallelTroubleAdventure''.
* Miyabi in ''Manga/AiYoriAoshi''.

* BC in ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'' - a no-nonsense second in command of the space pirate crew composing most of the cast and one of the few females to not overreact to having males stuck with their AmazonBrigade. [[spoiler: Mainly because he's a DoubleAgent. Yes he.]]

* Orie in ''Manga/KoiKoi7''.
* Kasumi in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''.

* Maria in ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' will occasionally have this role, depending on the episode. Granted, other times she's just another member of the harem, but otherwise she embodies the trope fairly straight.
* Tsubame Ameyagi in ''Manga/AiKora'' is an interesting case. From the girls' perspective, she's the harem nanny -- but to Hachibei, who's only interested in individual body parts, she and her legs are definitely part of the harem.
* Yoriko from ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'', who for added fun is also the mother of Mahiro, the central figure of the story's LoveDodecahedron. Thus the "nanny" aspect mainly comes about through her gentle but firm MamaBear attitude towards "[[AffectionateNickname Hiro-kun's]]" pursuers, though she is actually fond of the aliens living under her roof and even seems to be [[ShipperOnDeck playing matchmaker]] for Mahiro and Nyarko.

** Though Ratchet is romanceable, subverting the trope.

* Orie in ''KoiKoi7''.

* ''Series/TheYoungRiders'' has Emma, the Pony Express station 'housemother' is pretty much this to the Pony Express riders. And she's handy with a shotgun, too, when outlaws coming calling.

* Shubby from ''Webcomic/OwMySanity'', who takes it upon herself to organise David's increasingly large and disorganised group of [[PrettyFreeloaders female guests]]. She's also an EldritchAbomination in (mostly) human form.

* Akiko in ''{{Kanon}}''.

* Miya in ''{{Sekirei}}'', she is older than the rest of the cast and seem to enjoy teasing the protagonist calling him "Criminal".

* A couple different characters play the role at different times in ''{{UFO Princess Valkyrie}}''. Usually it's Kazuto, though occasionally Rika and Akina play the role as well.

* Kyoya of ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' isn't the president of the club, but is considered the "mommy" of the group. Then again, he could just be considered a pimp. He is the one with all the answers as to what is going on, since Tamaki was too busy with ladies.

* Chizuru, as well as most older characters in ''MahouSenseiNegima'' (Albireo, Takemichi, Konoemon, ect.)
