First and foremost, let’s all rejoice for the completion of the Boys Harem (Shounen Harem) list. It was the longest time I had spent on making an entry so far.
In order to make the list I had read and re-read numerous titles to make sure that I had covered most scanlated shounen harem manga. Naturally, my list turned into a very long one. After further evaluation, I found that many manga in my list, despite having bountiful of handsome male characters cannot be classified as a harem manga. In my opinion, harem manga can only have one significant female character, and even if there is more than one they remain as support characters and never take the spotlight. Then, I got rid of those with less interesting plots and ending and also keep only those with wonderful art.
The results of my exploration are 8 Favorites and 5 Honorable boys harem manga. Some of them are in my all time favorite manga list

From Turtle Paradise:
Most girls are crazy about jewelry, but not Agnès (Anise) Yamamoto. Not since her father gave her a rose choker as a child, claiming it was a protective amulet which would safeguard her from harm; however, if she ever took it off (a feat easier said than done!), she would be afflicted by a “punishment” of some sort. Not like it matters to her though, since the attention it attracts around school from faculty and students alike isn’t something she’s particularly fond of.
But after a certain incident causes the choker to disappear, she realizes that this punishment her father spoke of might have been a bit more than she bargained for!
Hime says: Fun manga to read with great drawings. The cold mysterious black knight is my favorite.

From Baka-Updates:
In this screwball romantic comedy, Haruhi, a poor girl at a rich kids’ school, is forced to repay an $80,000 debt by working for the school’s swankiest, all-male club–as a boy! There, she discovers just how wealthy the six members are and how different the rich are from everybody else…
Hime says: Second all time favorite in the list.Fun, obnoxious, unbelievable.. I am pretty sure they will attempt to turn this into a drama.. I hope not though. I don’t think Tamaki’s craziness can be replicated in real life :/ And who will they cast as our Japanese speaking half French guy?

From Del Rey:
It’s a gorgeous, spacious mansion, and four handsome, fifteen-year-old friends are allowed to live in it for free! There’s only one condition – that within three years the guys must transform the owner’s wallflower niece into a lady befitting the palace in which they all live! How hard can it be?Enter Sunako Nakahara, the agoraphobic, horror-movie-loving, pockmark-faced, frizzy-haired, fashion-illiterate recluse who tends to break into explosive nosebleeds whenever she sees anyone attractive. This project is going to take more than our four heroes ever expected: it needs a miracle!
Hime says: One last all time favorite in this list. This manga is just simply hillarious. The boys’ attempts to turn Sunako into a lady is futile, no matter how hard they try. I am glad that Sunako is always improving little by little each time. If not, despite the good humor and hot shounen, the story will be bland.
