''I'm the Main Character of a Harem Manga, but I'm Gay So Every Day Is Hell for Me'' (Harem Manga no Shujinkou daga Gay nanode Mainichi ga Tsurai) is a one-shot manga published in [[Magazine/ShonenJump Jump Square]] magazine on 17th July 2015 with the premise being ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.

Average-looking schoolboy Touge Yuuguri is constantly surrounded by attractive girls in his everyday life, all desperate to be his girlfriend no matter what. There's just one problem, he's [[InCompatibleOrientation gay]]. Thus, Touge's life becomes exceedingly difficult and spirals into a living hell, truly reflecting how one man's harem fantasy can be another's nightmare.

!!The manga contains the following tropes:
* BrotherSisterIncest: What Touge's younger and older step-sisters are trying to accomplish but their brother is understandably {{Squick}}ed out and one hundred percent done with this situation, IncompatibleOrientation aside, as shown in the image above with the sisters doing the classic LoverTugOfWar.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Uh, okay." for the main character since what else can he say for his increasingly absurd and especially unwanted harem situation?
* ChickMagnet: Touge Yuuguri somehow gets every type of girl imaginable vying for his attention without even trying (much to his ire). In ten pages alone, he managed to attract six girls (Including the most popular girl in school and his step-sisters) as they would "accidentally" topple on him or even invite him to spend some "special time" alone like the protagonist of an overly-cliche {{Harem|Genre}} manga. Alas for them, Touge couldn't care less about the attention since he's [[IncompatibleOrientation gay]] and wants nothing to do with the opposite gender, romantically or otherwise.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: Touge does everything in his power to make all the women in his life hate him for [[UnwantedHarem justified reasons]], yet all his attempts to escape, reject, or scare the girls away have the complete opposite effect and only intensify their admiration as if some [[CosmicPlaything cosmic interference]] was at work. Special mention goes to feigning a morbid fascination with [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals squishing caterpillars until their guts come out]], only for the interested girl to perk up and be revealed as a NightmareFetishist.
* IncompatibleOrientation: All the girls want Touge, Touge's gay...you do the math.
* MeaningfulName: Touge can mean "pass" in Japanese which is exactly his attitude towards all the women wanting a romantic relationship with him and throwing themselves at his feet, he'll pass it up.
* OverlyLongTitle: Clocking in a total ''eighteen'' words (ten for Japanese), this one-shot is one mouthful to say by title alone.
* {{Tsundere}}: The second segment has Touge encountering one. It goes as well as you expected:
-->'''Tsundere:''' Just so you know, I-It's not like I like you or anything!
-->'''Touge:''' ...Uh, okay. I don't really like you either.
-->'''Narration:''' [Tsunderes are ineffective against gay people]
* UnwantedHarem: Every girl he encounters is by default enamored with Touge including his ''own sisters'' (Non-blood related but that doesn't make it any better) and make his life a living hell because of it. However, this is deconstructed in that the harem is truly unwanted and no amount of begging can change it since the protagonist is gay and has a very low opinion of women in general from the constant bombardment of nonsensically perverted situations and unwanted sentiments he finds himself in.
* VersusTitle: The first chapter is titled this way with Touge facing the obstacle of turning down a {{Tsundere}}.
