The current pic does look like a school class, not like a genre.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanNyarko is a good suggestion. Another:
[1]◊ from Rosario To Vampire

Idolm@ster isn't harem.
True; it came up when I GIS'd "harem anime" but I looked at the page after posting and found that it's not. I've struck that suggestion.
I think we have a near-exact Rosario + Vampire pic somewhere else (on one of the other harem tropes, actually), so I'm hesitant to use that one. I don't think the To Love Ru or Nyarko pics would look great shrunk, so to me, that leaves Oreshura and Index. Oreshura might be best because it's a reference to the infamously bland harem protagonists.
Unwanted Harem has a Rosario pic, which is similar.
I prefer the Oreshura one.
Check out my fanfiction!That exact pic is currently used as the page image of Rosario's work page, if that's what you're asking.
Oreshura is my pick

Maybe this from Love Hina? [1]◊
Or for a male version, maybe Ouran High School Host Club? [2]◊

I like 1.1 from Oreshura.
Highschool D x D is good.
Crowner?

8.1 and 10.2 are Image Links-level for me. Not feeling 10.1 at all, there's way too little focus on the girls going after Keitaro...same problem as the current. 8.2 would be a good contender if the kids on the right side were cropped out, but I still prefer the Oreshura or Nyarko pics for simplicity's sake.

Bump; any other thoughts? Crowner?
Crowner.
Crowner. I didn't put a name to 8.2 because I couldn't remember what it's from.
Bump for votes; two in consensus, one with a solid lead.
One more votes bump; same as before.
This is ready to call. The new pic still needs to be uploaded and put on the page; the rest have been put on the Image Links page. Caption or no? "So many options, so little sanity" comes to mind, but probably isn't the best.

Here it is. Also painted out the text at the bottom left. Not sure about a caption, though. "Mandatary: They want him. Optional: He wants them." Eh, dunno.
Added and updated Image Source.

Check out my fanfiction!No consensus on a caption; locking up.
Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
The current pic on Harem Genre is: 1) kinda low quality, or at least a little too busy for its size, 2) a little too caption-reliant to get the "harem" aspect across, and 3) unsourced as it's from a hentai visual novel. As replacements, the first pics I found that were promising were this◊ from Oreshura, or this◊ from A Certain Magical Index. Thoughts?
EDIT: Also: this◊ from Haiyore Nyarko San.
