Line 31:
* ''[[Plus Anima]]'': Husky. He's repeatedly mistaken for a girl.
* [[Ghost Hunt]]: almost all of the male characters. Lin, Naru, Bou-san, even John are bishōnens, pretty boys, handsome, etc, etc...you watch a video of Ghost Hunt on [[YouTube]], scroll through the comments, and you will find a lot of fangirling female users.
* ''[[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'' features Noriaki Kakyoin, a VERY popular example on pixiv and possible poster child. Not to mention Part 5 and its collection of dangerous pretty boys.
* With the exception of the vampire hunter Toga Yagari, absolutely all the male cast of ''Vampire Knight'' are bishōnen.
* Benten from ''[[Cyber City Oedo 808]]''. Yes, he ''does'' wear lipstick and paint his nails. No, he isn't a [[Cross Dresser]].
Line 46:
* Toji, Kairi, Jigoro, and Ryo from ''[[Peach Girl]]''.
* Rei from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' is a tall, stoic, green-haired space bishōnen who drives men to despair and women to squees.
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' brings us Kurz, who was even a former model. Then, we've got [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] Leonardo. And, of course, [[Chaste Hero|Sousuke]], in an [[Unkempt Beauty]] sort of way.
* Kouichi Hayama, from ''[[Moonlight Lady]]'', falls into this description perfectly. [[Lampshaded Trope|Lampshaded]] with Io Azuma, his wife-to-be's cousin; Suzuna was hoping that Io would grow to be this (partially because of an [[Arranged Marriage]] to him). Ultimately [[Averted Trope|averted]], as Io grew to be a limp-wristed, wide-eyed, [[Ambiguously Gay]] "pretty boy".
* Otani, Kohori, Suzuki, Haruka, and, without a doubt, Maitake and Seiko from ''[[Lovely Complex]]''.
Line 107:
** Kamina is a more masculine version than the standard issue bishonen, but he is undeniably '''pretty'''.
* The [[Bishonen]] archetype in [[Shojo]] is parodied quite a few times on cover flaps of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' (more often than not with Roy as the target) and through Mei Chan's daydreams about Ed, and then Al, as [[Knight in Shining Armour|knights in shiny armours]].
** At the end of the manga and second anime, {{spoiler|[[Humanity Ensues|Alphonse]]}} is revealed to be a ''[[She Is's All Grown Up|gorgeous]]'' bishonen.
** Ed's always been [[Bishonen]], and even has [[Long-Haired Pretty Boy|long hair]].
** One of Father's transformations turns him into one of these.
Line 297:
* ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'': Yuki and Akise.
* ''[[Yamada Taro Monogatari]]'': Taro, which is a large reason why [[Even the Guys Want Him|everyone]] thinks he's [[Prince Charming]]. Also, Suguira, who initially views Taro as [[The Rival|a rival]] of beauty.
* ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' gives us [[Ambiguously Gay|Fai D. Fluorite]] and Syaoran, {{spoiler|especially when he's [[Papa Wolf|aged up a bit]]}}, and has quite a few famous bishonen from other [[CLAMP]] series pop up as cameos, such as [[Tokyo Babylon|Subaru]], [[X (manga)|Kamui]], [[RG Veda|Yasha]], [[Cardcaptor Sakura|Yukito]], and [[XxxHolicxxxHolic|Watanuki]], to name a few.
* Quite a few characters in ''[[Prince Charming (manga)|Prince Charming]]''.
* ''[[Kamisama Kiss]]'' has quite a few. To start off you have Kurama along with Tomoe and Mizuki (who get bonus points for being [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|White Haired Pretty Boys.]])
