Synopsis

Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, young researcher Reito Mizuhara is to be put into cryosleep until a cure can be found. Short on time, Reito decides to confess his pent-up feelings to his childhood crush Erisa Tachibana and bids farewell to his family and friends. As Reito goes to sleep and his consciousness begins to fade, Erisa barges into the room and declares that she will wait for him.

Five years later, Reito wakes up to a post-apocalyptic world where 99.9% of the world's male population had been eradicated by the "Man-Killer Virus" four years prior. He is one of a handful of men who have become immune to this virus due to sclerosis treatment. Reito and the other four men are now invaluable assets to humankind and are expected to impregnate as many women as possible. Reito, however, is determined to find Erisa and refuses to make love with any other women. With temptations lurking around every corner, can he hold on to the woman of his dreams?

Preliminary (78/136 eps)

Let me write a review like no another about this manga, One that will keep the ecchi intense parts ( Almost an Impossible Mission ) out of the review and analyse it focusing more on it's story.

A dystopian society where resources are running out, manpower is extremely rare and the world has formed a new ruling order and way of life.

This premise is brought about where 99.99999% percent of men died from a pandemic called the MK-Virus ( Man Killing Virus).

Preliminary (7/136 eps)

Shuumatsu No Harem, or in English translation World’s End Harem is that type of story that’ll only attract the audience of male teens and young adults, as the manga presents itself as a male fantasy with a few men left alive on Earth to help reproduce with the vastly outnumbering females. This manga was inspired by other anime and manga titles with the same “one male, infinite girls” concept like Nagasarete Airantou and Infinite Stratos. Like the said two anime/manga titles, this manga shares a mutual element with them and that’s a dense MC.

Story (6/10)
The base of the story is that a few males ... who have been affected by a disease without a cure, so society decides to put them into cryostasis for five years until they can come up with a remedy to cure it. Five years later, the main character Mizuhara wakes up from his five year sleep only to find out that not only has he been cured, but a virus known as the MK (male killer) was spread. As the name implies, it killed nearly all of the males, save those in cryostasis. Then he’s assigned an agent, Suou Mira to help him in his daily life as a servant of sorts, and create an atmosphere he’s comfortable in, assigning him chosen females to mate with and begin recuperating humanity. However as I said, this manga has a dense MC and he constantly shoots down every proposal, refusing to help repopulate just because he wants to be with his girlfriend from five years ago before he went into cryostasis. It’s respectable to stay loyal to a fiancée, but come on, the world is on the brink of extinction and the world needs the MC’s desperate help to restore humanity and he decides it’s not important to him. This is the reason why readers of this manga hate him so much. Heck, another male that pops out later on is 100x more likable than the MC.

Characters (3/10)
I don’t have much to say about the characters. All I can say is that they are so bland and boring. You can’t find a single piece of connection or feeling between you and them. There’s an exception for the male I mentioned a few seconds ago who has an interesting and sympathetic backstory of being bullied in high school, but is now enjoying his peaceful life five years later without a single bully in sight,

Enjoyment (3/10)
There isn’t much enjoyment so to say in this manga. It doesn’t have any moments or cliffhangers that make you want to read the next chapter right away in suspense and find out what happens. All you feel what you finish a chapter is “Okay that chapter is done.” You don’t feel any excitement in any way. The only enjoyment at the moment is the fan-service with nudity and R18+ scenes for the male audience.

Verdict (5/10)
This manga has the potential to become better with more character developments, exciting moments and make the main character a more likable person for the audience. I don’t recommend this manga if you’re after a good story.

Preliminary (7/136 eps)

My review is based on having read 7 chapters (that was all I could stand). There are some slight spoilers.

It seems like this manga was created solely with intention of creating the most spineless MC possible. I'm used to wimpy MCs, but Mizuhara Reito is on a whole 'nother level. It's like the author has some kind of extreme paraphilia involving men being absolutely useless. Mizuhara's spinelessness ventures into the realm of delusional.

The story begins with our "hero" confessing his love to Elisa. The impetus for this being he is diagnosed with a terminal illness of some sort. But all is not lost. All he ... has to do is go into cryosleep for 2–5 years while an AI figures develops a drug specifically tailored to him. Needless to say when awakes things are not as they should be.

While he slept somehow a virus has killed all the men in world. The only ones left alive are those who were also placed into cryosleep. However, of those in cryosleep only those who were specifically being treated for whatever illness befell the MC are immune to the MK (literally Man Killing) virus. The other remaining men who have survived in cryosleep will should they awake. It is therefore Spineless MC-kun's job (along with the 4 other random people who just happened to have his exact circumstances) to impregnate as many women as possible to ensure the future of the human race.

So the situation seems pretty dire, right? The reasonable thing to do would be to politely start impregnating women, right? MC's handler even went though the trouble of finding fertile attractive who want to have sex with them. It wasn't like she just went around with a picture of him and asked "u wnt sum fuk?" to every girl. No, she constructed rigorous surveys which featured pictures of other random men in addition to the MCs. The MC received favourable results. From this selection of women who would consent to be impregnated by the MC only the most genetically fit were selected. Resources like food are also scarce. Bearing and raising MC's children is basically the only way to ensure a stable lifestyle. It makes sense to prioritize the allocation of resources towards those who are helping to guarantee the future of humanity. We've got hot, nubile women, who aren't being overtly coerced or anything, waiting for MC to come give them some dick so that they can secure a future not only for themselves, but also humanity, and what does the MC do? He rejects this offer, saying he is saving his dick for Elisa (who has conveniently gone missing during the time he was asleep). Rather than having sex with all these girls, he is going to single-handedly cure the virus.

There are so many problems with that setup. Firstly, despite being around Elisa for 10 years straight, Spineless MC-kun only manages to confess when the possibility of him potentially dying comes up. It's even an incredibly weak confession—in the translation I read the MC simply says, "I like you". In the future world MC inhabits working isn't even necessary. Despite this he pledges to become a doctor along with Elisa in order to fulfill some stupid dream. Despite this "I like you" is the best he can do. Because of his absolutely tenuous commitment to Elisa, he won't have sex with all these other women—despite the fact that it absolutely benefits everyone. He additionally claims that his dick doesn't matter because he could only impregnate about 100 women per year. If he only had sex once per day, everyday, with women who were ovulating, 100 women is about the number you'd expect to get pregnant (assuming the chance of pregnancy 27–33% during ovulation). But why would he be doing so little dicking? His research can't take up that much time; or is it only possible for him to have sex with 1 woman per day because he needs 8 hours of foreplay in which his partner has to reassure him that he is a nice, special guy, before he can get hard? Also, how does he expect to develop a vaccine for the MK virus, when all the other lady-scientists who have been working on it for the last 5 years have failed? He's only a medical student. Does his dick somehow make him more capable? If we look at the manga, that may actually be the case. Apparently all the technology has broken down because all the male engineers died (thus leaving only female engineers). In the year of 2040 wear working is optional, they apparently haven't figured out how to get more women into STEM. The one's do get into it are apparently beyond incompetent. I think the manga , actually mentions them not understanding the principles behind the technology. So not only are they stupid, they are apparently incapable of learning. I never expected this manga to be a shining paragon of feminist virtue, but this just seems like such an absurd way to be sexist.

Shuumatsu no Harem is just terrible. It is actually probably the least erotic I have read, that isn't trying to deliberately disgust or horrify the reader through its use of sex and nudity. It's actually just incompetent. I didn't think it would possible to take such a lurid and easily exploitable setup, and then make it incredibly boring. Sure, there is a fair bit of T&A, but watching Mizuhara's superlative spinelessness is sufficient remove any enjoyment gained through seeing naked anime girls.
