{{quote|'''Phoenix:''' She must have some sort of strange power over [men].
'''Maya:''' You're not kidding. Two people in one day. Even '''I''' want to profess my love for her.
|''[[Phoenix Wright]]''}}
When a guy is so studly and great that he inspires worship and desire in both women ''and'' [[Ho Yay|men]], it's [[Even the Guys Want Him]]. But when a female character's female fan club matches or exceeds her male fan club, you've stumbled upon the slightly rarer but still prominent [[Distaff Counterpart]]: '''Even the Girls Want Her'''.
Line 35 ⟶ 36:
* Sakura from ''[[Oniichan to Issho]]''. Murakami Michi, a women's magazine employee interviewing Masashi - who looks like Sakura's mother Fumiko - informs him that, after meeting Sakura, she is not interested in men and delightedly says that Sakura is "just her type." She fawns over Sakura whenever she has an opportunity.
* Ren from ''[[DearS]]''. She has subtext with Neneko who also [[Skinship Grope|gropes]] Ren as soon as she meets her, she has subtext plus a opening-credits kiss with Miu, and then Mitsuka-sensei says to her at one point "I don't care if you're a girl, that body was made for love!" Also, she gets several fangirls at school who constantly urge her to leave Takeya and hang out with them instead.
* In ''[[
** Not to mention Tiffania (who has the biggest [[Gag Boobs]] out of all the girls in the series) who gains about three female admirers by the end of the third season, and before that said female admirers tended to fawn over their token princess.
** Or Tabitha. Kirche ''really'' adores her and fawns over her.
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
* Motoko Aoyama from ''[[Love Hina]]'' has a trio of girls who follow her around, begging for her attention, ganging up on anyone who says anything negative about her, and—on at least one occasion—being upset with her because she spends so much time in male company (since Keitaro moved in).
* Sakaki from ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', to the point of inspiring at least one outright-stated [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|lesbian crush]]. Probably most notable in the episode where Kagura decides to walk along with Sakaki as they leave school, and the two of them attract a huge crowd of faceless background characters following their every step (including a ''sumo wrestler'').
* The eponymous Utena Tenjō of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]''. The first episode starts off with a long montage of her being invited to join various sports clubs, and of being swooned over by both sexes—including a ''horde'' of fangirls at Ohtori (as shown in the picture above). And she elicits these reactions whether dressed as a boy or [https://web.archive.org/web/20110907032026/http://www.ohtori.nu/galerie/v/series/episodes/sca/12/Series_ep12_020.jpg.html wearing the Ohtori female uniform], as proved by the episode coming after {{spoiler|her loss at the hands of Tōga, which she tried to cope with by acting like a [[Yamato Nadeshiko]].}} -- [https://web.archive.org/web/20110907032829/http://www.ohtori.nu/galerie/v/series/episodes/sca/12/Series_ep12_021.jpg.html yes, the other girls were ''still'' seriously wet for her.] Not to mention that Wakaba goes so far as to call Utena her "boyfriend" and is very affectionate towards her. Or how Anthy is hinted to be in love with her in the series and especially in the movie. (Anthy kisses Utena on the lips in the movie and is much more sexually aggressive towards her).
** Juri and Miki are implied to have developed something for her as well, with Juri going so far as to joke that she might put Utena's picture in her new locket (that's something she did with Shiori whom she had a crush on).
** And Anthy Himemiya as well, as Utena seems to be [[If It's You It's Okay]] towards her. And in episode 8 two girls fawn over Anthy (and Utena) as well.
Line 75 ⟶ 76:
** And now Akuha Shuzen is [http://www.mangareader.net/rosario-vampire-ii/38/24 attracted to Moka] too.
* Lia de Beaumont from ''[[Le Chevalier d'Eon]]'' has won the hearts of men, women, kings, queens, and not to mention ''siblings''.
* Natsuki Kuga from ''[[
** By extension, so does Shizuru Viola of ''[[Mai-Otome]]'', as Arika fangirls over her quite a bit in the early episodes, and Tomoe, well... let's just say [[Psycho Lesbian|she's got a crush]]. In a few of the [[All There in the Manual|Drama CDs]] related to the show, a then-Coral Natsuki pressed ''hard'' to get Shizuru as her room supervisor, so that she could eventually get to know "[[Stepford Smiler|the real her]]".
* Fate Testarossa of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' seems to have this going on during the second season, though it's more obvious in the manga. Not only do we see a number of girls in the class clustering around her talking about how great she is, but when Arisa gets a smile from her, she blushes and muses that it's easy to see why Nanoha likes her so much.
Line 85 ⟶ 86:
* Ryunnosuke of ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''. Yes, the female population of the school is aware that she's female and forced into [[Bifauxnen]] status by her father. They don't care—she's still hot.
* Sylvie from ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]''. Priss takes to her instantly as either a best friend or a lesbian lover, depending on interpretation, and Nene admits that Sylvie even turns ''her'' on. Completely justified in that she is a [[Sex Bot|purpose-built]] [[Sex Slave]], and ''is'' thus literally hotter than humanly possible.
* Akira from ''[[Kaguyahime]]'' fits this trope to a T. Very athletic and tough, she can oscillate between a [[Bifauxnen]] and an extremely sexy and well-endowed young lady, thus getting crushes from boys, girls, and creepy older women. When she eventually goes out with {{spoiler|Yui, a somewhat cat-like androgynous boy}}, her [[Yandere
* Hone-Onna from ''[[Hell Girl|Hell Girl: The Cauldron of Three]]'' has female students "admire" her so much that one of them even tried to send Ichimoku Ren to hell because they were mistaken for lovers. Not withstanding all the [[Les Yay]] earlier in the series between Honne-Onna and [[Creepy Child|Enma Ai]].
* Teletha "Tessa" Testarossa gets this reaction when she introduces herself to Kaname's high school class in ''[[Full Metal Panic!|Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu]]''. All the guys go "WOOOAH!" while all the girls cry "Oh she's so cute!" with accompanying love hearts. Melissa Mao also appears to have some attraction towards Tessa.
** And Melissa Mao. During her time on the submarine, Kaname thinks about how cool and sexy Mao is.
* ''[[Nana]] Osaki'': the fangirls who wait for her outside every Blast show are predominantly female, and in one case [https://web.archive.org/web/20130324230555/http://coquifroggy.tumblr.com/post/16763431114 they react rather jealously when Nana gives ultimate fangirl Misato a kiss.]
** Not to forget the otherwise very pointedly straight Nana Komatsu whose friendship with her [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|gets a little ambiguous at times]].
* When Amu Hinamori sees Nadeshiko in ''[[Shugo Chara]]'', she comments on how if she were a boy, she'd be in love. Although this case is [[Wholesome Crossdresser|subverted.]]
Line 105 ⟶ 106:
** Later in the [[Pretty Cure|franchise]], in ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]]'', Karen has this sort of effect as well. It doesn't come up very often, though, as episodes focusing on Karen tend to concentrate on the [[Student Council President]] aspect of her school life.
** There's also Itsuki Myoudouin of ''[[Heartcatch Precure]]'', who has girls fall head over heels for her. Tsubomi does this as well, mostly because she's under the wrong presumption that she was a ''he''. Even after she found out the truth, she's still struck with those feelings.
** ''Doki Doki Precure'' has Mana lust over MakoPi on multiple occasions. Unlike the other instances there's no male love interest or denial, so this (among other things) gives ''Doki Doki'' a reputation for being very gay.
* Reiri from ''[[Princess Resurrection|Kaibutsu Oujo]]'' falls under this while at school. She welcomes this reaction, as it gives her quite a supply of very willing blood donors.
* Through some genuine miracle, Haruhi Fujioka from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' has managed to avoid us this far. The girls want her because they don't realize she's a girl... [[Sweet Polly Oliver|she wears a male uniform and cuts her hair short]]. She's indebted to her male pals at the host club and earns money by renting herself out to other girls for companionship (not like ''that'', though!) in the guise of a boy.
Line 111 ⟶ 113:
* All the girls swoon over [[Najica Blitz Tactics|Najica]] at ''both'' of her jobs. She's like their mutual [[Cool Big Sis]]. She also ran into an heiress type on one mission and found out later that the girl had become infatuated with her. Najica wisely declined her offer of a bodyguard job, hearing the implied " wink wink, nudge nudge".
* Sae of ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'': If we go by the anime, she had received Valentines' chocolates from girls when she was in junior high.
* ''[[Oniisama e...]]'', where almost the entire Seiran school was crazy about [[Broken Bird|Rei aka Hana-no-Saint-Juste]] and [[Tomboy|Kaoru-no-Kimi]], well and [[Yandere
** Not to mention Nanako, who has Mariko clinging to her as well as her relationship with Tomoko.
* ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' surprisingly has this with the episode "Mandarin Island Miss Match" in which Misty is very much a fangirl for [[Ms. Fanservice|Lorelei/Prima]].
Line 140 ⟶ 142:
** Well, she shifts focus to girls her age when she grows older—much to the dismay of the other two Children.
* Misaki Ayuzawa of [[Kaichou wa Maid-sama|Kaichou Wa Maid-sama!]] is shown to have the respect of the girls within her sphere of influence, but it becomes this trope when the [[Maid Cafe]] she works at has a Ladies Day, featuring the staff in [[Bifauxnen]] mode, all of the girls instantly fall for her.
* If you're a girl in [[Blood
* Reika from ''[[Aim for the Ace!|Aim for The Ace]]!'' is an early example of the [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] [[Onee-Sama]] that everyone wants to be or be with. The [[Les Yay]] undertones may not have strictly been on purpose.
* In ''[[Gakuen Alice]]'', this is [[Meaningful Name|Yuri]]'s Alice: Making girls want her while they're in her presence. She also [[Blessed with Suck|hates it more than anything]], especially [[Power Incontinence|since she can't prevent it]].
Line 157 ⟶ 159:
* ''[[Vampire Knight]]'': If dealing with her Male Harem wasn't already hard enough, Yuuki Kuran has to deal with [[Les Yay]] from Shizuka.
** Let's not forget that Yori basically describes her "ideal person" as a mix between Yuuki and Zero.
* ''[[Goshuushou
** Also, Mayu. One of Hinako's favorite hobbies, other than sexually harassing Shungo, appears to be skinship groping Mayu.
* Rin from ''[[Nagasarete Airantou]]''.
* Shiki Ryougi from ''[[Kara no Kyoukai:
* In ''[[Soul Eater Not!]]'', Anya gets a moment of this when she puts on a sexy waitress uniform, and her two female friends react by blushing furiously and requesting glasses of water from the barman.
* Mikoto Misaka from ''[[
* Hitagi Senjogahara from ''[[Bakemonogatari]]''. [[Psycho Lesbian|Suruga]] is infatuated with her.
* Beniko from ''[[The Last Uniform]]''.
Line 175 ⟶ 177:
* Maiko from ''[[Wandering Son]]'' is a teenage model, so of course she fits.
* Azumi Yamada from ''[[Hen]]''. Chizuru Yoshida has quite a sweet crush on her and is more than willing to [[If It's You It's Okay|make an exception for her despite being heterosexual]].
* Kyouko Mogami from ''[[Skip Beat!]]''. Kanae aka Moko certainly does and so do the girls that are doing the "Natsu" drama.
** Possibly Moko as well, since Kyouko may or may not like Moko in [[Les Yay|that]] way.
* Kiri from ''[[Beauty Pop]]''.
Line 217 ⟶ 219:
* ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]'': Alexiel and {{spoiler|Belial}}.
* Jessie from ''[[Battle Athletes]]''. She attracts a one-episode female [[Stalker with a Crush]].
* Haruna of ''[[To
* ''[[Smile Pretty Cure]]'': Nao Midorikawa.
* ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]'': Momoka. {{spoiler|Yuri loves her and tries to rape Ringo because they're so much alike.}}
Line 291 ⟶ 293:
* ''[[Roseanne]]'': When Roseanne decides to hire Traci Lord's character as a waitress, she tells Jackie she'll bring in more customers. "She's so hot she even gives me a woody."
* [[Law and Order SVU|Olivia Benson]]. Hell. In-universe, the [[Les Yay]] subtext suggests that seemingly-straight Alex Cabot (see above) would be quite happy to make an [[If It's You It's Okay]] exception. As would we all.
* In ''[[Wonderfalls]]'', Jaye ineptly attempts to comfort her sister (who she's just found out is a lesbian) by saying that she could see sleeping with a girl [[
* [[Ms. Fanservice|Bo]], the protagonist of ''[[Lost Girl]]'', and in-canon to boot: she's a succubus, with sex-based [[Mind Control]] powers. No, really.
* At one point in season one of ''[[Smallville]]'' one guy tells another that liking Lana is unoriginal, he being at least the forth guy who has expressed interest in her. In season two Tina Greer realized that she was in love with Lana so she decided to take the place of Lana's boyfriend.
Line 315 ⟶ 317:
* In ''[[Super Robot Wars Alpha]]'', Sleigh Presty has TONS of [[Les Yay]] with most of the female cast she interacts with, especially Selena Recital from Alpha 3, and she actually worries about this because she knows and is attracted to women, [[Chick Magnet|and they to her]], and she's worried she'll never find a man. It doesn't help she has [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Well Done Sister]] complex in regards to her brother Filio, whom she doesn't desire sexually but does consider to be the yardstick she measures a man worthy enough to court her by. And, give how [[Bishounen]] and in touch with his feminine side he is (in ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'', it's revealed he's a fan of ballet and even made the ultragirly Fairlions), this REALLY doesn't help her case.
** It also dosen't help that she sort of lost it when {{spoiler|her brother was killed by Ibis in a training accident.}}
* In ''[[
* [[Action Mom]] Louise from ''[[Fire Emblem]] 7''. The [[Shorttank]] Rebecca practically goes goo-gaa over her because she's so beautiful and elegant as well as a deadly Straight Arrow.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'', Quistis Trepe has her own fanclub. It contains numerous women who gush over her beauty just as freely as the boys.
Line 342 ⟶ 344:
* Dia in ''[[Luminous Arc 2]]'' has quite a notable fanbase from her students, even prompting non-Light users to sneak into her lectures, despite the information being useless to them.
* Due to [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]]s, Leaf from ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]'' comes off as this when you play as her.
* Noel Vermillion of ''[[
* While [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|the Duchess]] in ''[[Embric of Wulfhammers Castle]]'' is technically Even The Guys Want Her, as she receives more female attention than male, it remains that all but a handful of characters greatly admire her, and all but a handful of ''those'' want to get in her dress. {{spoiler|It's rather depressing when considering [[Multiple Endings|the Final End]].}}
Line 349 ⟶ 351:
* Circus darling Regina Berry in ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' captivates both Phoenix ''and'' Maya within minutes of meeting them. Quoted above.
* In ''[[Heileen]]'' not only does Heileen have a handful of male suitors, her closest female friend Marie tends to throw herself onto her when she's not trying to score with the guys (and is responsible for giving Heileen her [[Sacred First Kiss]]). One [[Dialogue Tree|dialogue option]] in Chapter 5 has the flirty and [[Ms. Fanservice|vivacious]] Lora admitting that [[Bi the Way|she had once tried being with another woman]]. In both cases, Heileen is torn between [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|being totally freaked out]] and [[If It's You It's Okay|quietly accepting it.]]
* Kyou Fujibayashi in ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' is revealed to get a number of love letters from girls, while [[No Guy Wants an Amazon|guys seem to find her scary]]. Apparently it's fairly embarrassing for her and she tries to cover up by saying that uh... maybe some of the letters are asking for advice! before ripping them to shreds.
** In the anime adaptation, [[Cute Bruiser|Tomoyo]] comments that she receives many gifts from girls.
* Momoyo of ''[[Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!|Maji De Watashi Ni Koi Shinasai]]'' has legions of fans of both genders. Confusingly, she calls herself straight, but flirts only with the girls.
Line 380 ⟶ 382:
== Western Animation ==
* A season four episode of ''[[
* ''[[Archer]]'' features [[Ms. Fanservice]] Lana, though she has man hands, when she started selling sex to her collegues to get back at her ex-boyfriend, first up was (Though lesbian tended) [[Big Beautiful Woman|Pam]]. When Cyril saw a gay collegue queued up he questioned him and the response? "Pfft. No one's ''that'' gay."
* [[Shrinking Violet|Fluttershy]] of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' becomes quite popular amongst the predominantly-female populace of Ponyville during her stint as a model in the episode "Green Isn't Your Color".
Line 391 ⟶ 393:
** Despite Connie bullying her constantly, Meg has proven willing to tongue kiss her and once stated that she was going to think about Connie in the tub tonight.
* Jenny of ''[[My Life As A Teenage Robot]]'' has Sheldon after her romantically, Ship Tease with Brad, Queen Vexus directing much Foe Yay towards her, Don Prima showing interest, and when she got a makeover (paint job) many boys and girls in school stared at her in awe and kept calling her things like "gorgeous".
* Lila of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' gets an instant fan club comprised of numerous boys when she transfers into Arnold's class. Also, Helga, Rhonda, Nadene, Phoebe, and Sheena admit they "like her" by the end of the episode with the girls sighing as they look at her longingly and clasping their hands together much like fangirls.
* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'': Babs gets a female alligator asking her if she's married after cross-dressing complete with heart marks.
** "Can't Buy Me Love" has Elmyra meet an evil little girl called Rhoda. Elmyra sees hearts and melts when Rhoda says she'll let her be her best friend, and spends the rest of the episode going to extreme lengths to make Rhoda like her.
** Fifi had Elmyra relentlessly pursue her in one episode because she wanted her as a pet. However, she continued after getting skunked by Fifi and even dressed up as Pepe Le Pew (Fifi's crush) in order to lure Fifi to her.
* In "[[Doug]]'s a Big Fat Liar", Patty goes to a dance with "Melvin", really Judy in drag. Seems innocent enough, but when the whole ruse is revealed, Patty isn't even upset! She even says "Melvin" is the best dancer at the hoedown and continues to dance with Judy throughout the rest of the episode. Also, they share Judy's room in an episode of the Disney series.
