* ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'': How about a harem made entirely of characters whose main trait is a specific dysfunction. PlayedForLaughs.
** Oh boy, let's try to collect a list. There's the two main characters, Itoshiki Nozomu - a suicidally depressed attention seeker - and Kafuka Fuura - an optimist who pretends to be stupid to cover up her brutal childhood. There's Chiri Kutsu, a psychotic Yandere afflicted with OCD who will kill people over wearing odd pairs of socks, there's Komori Kiri, a hikikimori who ends up living in her teacher's bathroom sometime during the second season, Matoi Tsunetsuki, who dresses like her teacher, Nozomu, eats the same food as him, followed him around everywhere - including the bathroom - and checks his mail. Then there's Keare Kimura, whose multiple personalities merged into several hundreds representing national stereotypes after going to Japan (not to mention the fact that her skirt defies gravity), Abiru Kobushi, a tail fetishist who shows many symptoms of some kind of autism (deadpan, dislikes human company, somewhat shy and reserved), Meru Otonashi, a shy, quiet girl who sends abusive emails, Haruhi Fujiyoshi, a homophobic who loves gay porn, Maria, an immigrant who may or may not actually be female, and her unnamed friend who carries around a gun, Nami Hitou, whose schtick is that she has none, yet may have an eating disorder, repeatedly self harms, once tried to jump out of a third story window for attention, but is just sane enough to be completely hated and ignored by the rest of the class.. And to top it all off, Mayo Mitamo, a girl who appears once a chapter, has no dialouge or real role, just to molest a dog with a stick, Kaga Ai, who has a huge guilt complex and apologised over being born, Okusa Manami, who is marries to an abusive husband, Oora Kanoko, whose constant smile and disregard for the situation (including walking into jail during a full-on, incredibly violent brawl) and simply walking out with her teacher (it's a long story) is probably because of prolonged drug use, and two girls, Maruichi and Nezu, who reguarly do business scams together - and who can forget the self-obsessed net idol, Kotonon, along with Jun Kudou, a bookworm whose very traditional, very Christian family pretty much gave up on him, for [[IHaveNoSon a]] [[AmbiguouslyGay few]] [[StraightGay reasons]]?

* ''Manga/MahouShoujoSite'' is upfront about this. Girls are given sticks ''because'' they have "misfortunate" lives. As to be expected, all the girls have horrible pasts, having experienced things such as bullying, abuse, rape, suicide ideation, and witnessing the murders of their families and friends. Not only that, but the majority of the girls are mentally unstable and murderous, taking full advantage of the power their sticks give them to gleefully enact revenge and kill others. Even the non-magical characters are screwed up.

The series starts out with Atsushi being thrown out of there and meeting the others, while Lucy never got in contact with good people and ended up in a criminal organization. Akutagawa is also an abuse survivor, since he suffered it from Dazai in his mafia days, and grew to become an AxCrazy villain bent on destruction just to hear that one word from Dazai. Dazai himself is also no angel, since he was an [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Guy]] who killed people without any remorse or sympathy for them. Now he's in the ADA, he has grown a bit better, although he still blatantly shows symptoms of being a ManipulativeBastard and is not above screwing the situation so it turns into their (but mostly his) profit. Kyouka's storyline is similar to Dazai except she never loses her calm and stoic demanor while killing, while the rest of her personality returns to being a normal girl. Yosano has a past with Mori, by being forced to heal soldiers in a vague past on a ship. She had to watch them slowly dying inside, due to the many times they were revived and forced to fight.

* This is more-or-less obligatory in ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'' as cyborgs are orphaned or "unwanted" children used by the government to become [[ChildSoldier assassins]]. All the girls have [[DarkAndTroubledPast deeply troubled pasts]] ranging from Henrietta being rape after her family was killed in front of her to Angelica's father trying to run her over to get money from the "accident". The only reason they're not all suicidal and depressed is because their conditioning represses their memories and makes them [[{{yandere}} extremely loyal]] to their [[TheHandler handlers]]. Their handlers aren't the most functional men either. For example, Jose uses Henrietta as a ReplacementGoldfish for his sister Enrica while Rico's is abusive towards her.

Haruhi struggles with confidence and identity issues because of her dead mother and cross-dressing father. Tamaki is hiding a vast amount of hurt and confusion because his grandmother hates him and his high-powered businessman father inhabits a world that runs on a different code of ethics than he grew up with. Kyoya is driven by the need to surpass the achievements of his two older brothers in order to earn the respect of his father. Kaoru and Hikaru are so dependent on each other as twins that they are almost unable to relate to other people alone. Honey is rejected by his family because he prioritizes cake and cute things over his dedication to the family martial arts, and Mori has essentially no identity beyond helping and supporting Honey. The amount of drama all this causes is frankly astounding, and essentially runs the whole plot of a sixteen-volume manga series. Once you get into some of the plot twists, the issues get even darker and deeper. Admittedly, these are mostly pretty light compared to some other examples in this section, but still, one would imagine there would be one relatively normal character with a happy and well-balanced childhood and home life, out of seven. But no.
