Certain character types like the TokenLoli, the HotTeacher, or the {{Ojou}} are likely to be in this, as a straight romantic story with them at the center probably wouldn't work at all, or at least it would invite too many unusual plot points.

One of the causes for this set-up might be being the adaptation of a VisualNovel, where every girl got the focus of attention in her own route, but only one route got an adaptation.
