History Main / CastFullOfPrettyBoys

* ''Manga/BlackBloodBrothers'' proves that being hot and being a vampire are not exclusive.
** When the werewolf big guy is a Bishonen, you are definitely here.

* ''Manga/DescendantsOfDarkness'': The average female character has the life expectancy of a particularly stupid gnat or falls off the face of the earth after one or two appearances, and only one major character is not bishonen. And we should be glad: apparently Ukyou (Muraki's ''consensual'' LoveInterest) actually appears in a short the author did at the publisher's request, and turned out to be a mystic trouble magnet with so much trauma she's afraid of all men and some kind of growth deficiency so she looks like a little girl. ''Not'' what the references to her led us to expect.

* In ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'' nearly every male in the series is on a sliding scale of attractive that ranges from cute boy lolita to full-on Bishounen. If he isn't attractive, he is not plot important.

* The only female characters in any given episode of ''Anime/MiracleTrain'' are Akari and the [[VictimOfTheWeek Passenger of The Week.]]

* ''Manga/{{Number}}'': It's easier to list the female characters: two [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld look like]] four-year-olds [[spoiler: and one of them is the enemy leader]]; one's a NinjaMaid ColdSniper who might be [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot an artificial human]] (she's certainly [[PeoplePuppets treated]] [[HappinessInSlavery like one]]); one's a [[GagBoobs really well-endowed]] [[spoiler:hermaphrodite who killed herself trying to take down an enemy]], and her little gal-pal [[spoiler: is [[WholesomeCrossDresser actually a boy]]. There's also the main character's dead mom and sister]].
** The only male characters who ''aren't'' bishounen are the Number assassins' corrupt targets (we only see two of them before the plot kicks in) and the ninja-maid's master, who's a [[Film/BlueVelvet Frank Booth]]-level sadist (minus the drugs (probably)). The rest of the handsome/pretty cast [[HoYay love]] [[FoeYay to torment]] the handsome/pretty teenage main protagonist.

* ''Anime/RoninWarriors'', wherein maybe two of the main characters are women.

** It also has [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Girls]], in the form of Meryl and Millie, though neither of them does the curvaceous thing. One-shot characters handle that. Like the {{Stripperific}} engineer, Miss Elizabeth, and the undercover sheriff, Miss Aurelie.

* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]'': The only girls there are [[YaoiFangirl Hungary]] and [[{{Bifauxnen}} Liechtenstein]]. That's it.

* ''Fanfic/TheSecretLifeOfTheBackyardKids''. The girls could be counted on one hand.

* Most of the men in the movie franchise ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' would make a woman/man pant, regardless of whether or not they even like the story.

* ''Manga/BloodBlockadeBattlefront'', from the creator of ''Trigun'' below. Even the ''fish man'' is ridiculously pretty.

* ''Film/InterviewWithTheVampire'' had young Creator/TomCruise, Creator/BradPitt, Creator/AntonioBanderas and Creator/ChristianSlater as the main cast. Oh, [[TheSmurfettePrinciple and]] Creator/KirstenDunst. While she was twelve.

* The entire ''VideoGame/{{Angelique}}'' series. Ditto ''VideoGame/KiniroNoCorda'' and ''VideoGame/HarukanaruTokiNoNakaDe''. This is the ''[[DatingSim point]]'' of the [=NeoRomance=] series.

* Several Creator/{{CLAMP}} series, especially ''Manga/ClampSchoolDetectives'', ''Manga/{{X1999}}'' and ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle''.

* 95% of ''[[VideoGame/KiniroNoCorda La Corda d'Oro]]'''s main characters are male and pretty.

* ''Papuwa'' has only one human female character, and she's... [[GonkyFemme Let's just say she is six feet tall, over muscled, and has a beard]]. The rest of the cast are [[FunnyAnimal Funny Animals]], children and attractive men. If you haven't figured it out yet, it's a comedy series.

* ''{{Series/Charmed|1998}}'' didn't have this in the main cast but rather in the guest stars. It was noted that most of the recurring love interests for the sisters were lantern-jawed, chiselled {{Hunk}}s and {{Pretty Boy}}s. Julian [=McMahon=] became a 2000s sex symbol because of his role on the show and later ''Series/NipTuck''.

* ''Literature/TanteiTeamKZJikenNote''

* The anime series with these kinds of casts are the ones most likely to get "2.5D" stage play adaptations. Popular series include Theatre/ThePrinceOfTennis, {{Theatre/Tsukiuta}}, and VideoGame/ToukenRanbu's Theatre/TouMyu and Theatre/TouStage series.

* ''VideoGame/Yume100: 100 Sleeping Princes in the Kingdom of Dreams'' is a puzzle game where you collect handsome princes - voiced by popular voice actors, of course. The game also features collaborations with anime such as ''Manga/BlackButler'' and ''Anime/{{K}}'', where the characters from these series get transported to the Kingdom of Dreams and get Prince forms.

* ''WebComic/MyDearColdBloodedKing'' takes place in a land like ancient China, and the majority of the males are definitely bishonen.

* The four main men of ''WebVideo/DemoReel''. Donnie flirts with everyone and is played by an [[Creator/DougWalker actor who self-admittedly lives for a sexual attention]], Tacoma is in drag for the latter half of the series and is regularly told he looks hot, Karl's sexy German accent gets him a foursome at the con, and {{hunk}}y Quinn is dressed in shirts that show off his muscles. The only female character, Rebecca, is also pretty, but very pointedly not sexualized to get across the message that women are treated like shit in Hollywood.

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' is able to pull this trope thanks to the Animesque art style and by focusing on the young sidekicks of DC superheroes.

* ''Webcomic/Ennead'' has every character be incredibly attractive and dressed skimpily, presumably because of how warm Egypt is. Not that anyone's complaining.

** And season 2 introduces a new set of pretty boys in addition to the old cast.

** It should be noted that this is a common trope for many sports-related anime. ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'' and ''Manga/KurokosBasketball'' are also good examples of this trope.

->'''Marik:''' There are no women in ''Anime/YuGiOh''. There are only extremely girly men! And ''I'' am the girliest of them all!\\

* ''Manga/KimiToBoku'' centers on a group of bishounen childhood friends, especially the twins Yuki and Yuta.

->'''Marik:''' There are no women in ''Anime/YuGiOh'' There are only extremely girly men! And ''I'' am the girliest of them all!\\

* ''Anime/{{Free}}'' has a cast that, by far, only consists of five [[{{Bishonen}} attractive]] and well built male swimmers.

* Most of the guys in ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' could qualify. There are exceptions, but most of the male cast is rather [[{{Bishonen}} pretty]].
* ''Manga/BlackButler''. Nearly every single male character is an outright bishounen, with few [[CoolOldGuy exceptions]].
* Several Creator/{{CLAMP}} series, especially ''Manga/ClampSchoolDetectives'', ''Manga/{{X1999}}'' and ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle''.

* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia''. All of the main characters, the Axis 3 and the 5 Allies, are young men. The main reason for this? The author has trouble drawing women. Ironically, many of the main characters were initially meant to be middle-aged. The first and most prominent female character is Hungary, who appears in the center of the volume 5 cover. It's probably not a coincidence that's [[YaoiFangirl she's a fujoshi]]. She is not the female audience surrogate, however; Seychelles was made for that purpose.

* Shonen Jump title ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'' has [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Tsuna]] and his guardians. Plus the side characters. Plus 99% of the villains. In fact, the number of times there is fanservice for guys can be counted on one hand.

* ''Manga/JunjouRomantica''. Understandable, since it's a BL series.
* ''Anime/LesMiserablesShojoCosette'' has almost all of [[LaResistance The Friends of the ABC]]. The exceptions are Grantaire and Lesgle, but [[AdaptationalAttractiveness their appearance was upgraded]].

* The only female characters in any given episode of ''Anime/MiracleTrain'' are Akari and the [[VictimOfTheWeek Passenger of The Week.]]
** Almost the same applies to ''Anime/MarginalPrince'' (where the character design comes from the same person as the series above): the only reoccuring female characters are relatives of the main characters (sisters or mothers) and all of them are [[TheFaceless faceless]].
* ''LightNovel/{{Corsair}}'''s cast, with the exception of [[CoolOldGuy Barbossa]] is very much this, plus Aura and Katarina to fill the beautiful women quota. [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/corsair/v03/c020/3.html Seen here.]] [[BoysLove There's a reason for this.]]
* ''Manga/BetrayalKnowsMyName'': Every character is a bishonen.
* ''Manga/InuYasha'' has this in ''spades''. [[note]]If you've been reading [[DrinkingGame/TVTropes The TV Tropes Drinking Game]], take a swig.[[/note]] If the character is central to the plot and male, he will be Bishonen.
* BoysLove ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'' due to there being very few women on the planet it takes place and much of the population being the product of LegoGenetics.
* ''{{Number}}'': It's easier to list the female characters: two [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld look like]] four-year-olds [[spoiler: and one of them is the enemy leader]]; one's a NinjaMaid ColdSniper who might be [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot an artificial human]] (she's certainly [[PeoplePuppets treated]] [[HappinessInSlavery like one]]); one's a [[GagBoobs really well-endowed]] [[spoiler:hermaphrodite who killed herself trying to take down an enemy]], and her little gal-pal [[spoiler: is [[WholesomeCrossDresser actually a boy]]. There's also the main character's dead mom and sister]].
** The only male characters who ''aren't'' bishounen are the Number assassins' corrupt targets (we only see two of them before the plot kicks in) and the ninja-maid's master, who's a [[Film/BlueVelvet Frank Booth]]-level sadist (minus the drugs (probably)). The rest of the handsome/pretty cast [[HoYay love]] [[FoeYay to torment]] the handsome/pretty teenage main protagonist.
* ''SchoolTeacher'' has a small classroom of cute/pretty boys who are actually animals trying to become human (''tsundere'' fox, horny rabbit, hyperactive squirrel twins, and very eager-to-please puppy; the puppy thought the teacher was a parrot due to his red hair and later declares that he "will be ''sensei's wife''!"). The two exceptions to the all-male cast are [[spoiler: the sexy ''oujo-sama'' cat with full lips, long hair, and female kimono who's actually a neutered male and the woman who had a crush on his master who only appears in flashback]].
* ''Anime/MarginalPrince'', it's based on a RomanceGame after all. In fact, there isn't a single reocurring female character except for Yuuta's faceless older sister (who serves as an AudienceSurrogate).
* GugureKokkurisan
''Literature/TheLegendOfSunKnight''. So much so that you could say it feels off when they tone down the copious amount of BishieSparkle after the first couple chapters.
* Literature/OneHalfPrince: The sheer number of pretty boys is astounding.
* ''Manga/UndertakerRiddle''. The male/female radio is 1 female for 5 males, all of them pretty.
* ''Manga/{{Diece}}''. There's only one significant female character. The rest of the cast consists of pretty, pretty {{Bishonen}}.
* In ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'' nearly every male in the series is on a sliding scale of attractive that ranges from cute boy lolita to full-on Bishounen. If he isn't attractive, he is not plot important.
* In ''Manga/DNAngel'', if they're plot relevant and male, they will be {{Bishonen}}. (Bar Daisuke to some people but he could be considered cute in a [[CuteClumsyGirl clumsy]] sort of way.)
* ''Anime/{{Tsuritama}}'' is an extremely rare slice-of-life example where every male character have their own unique quirkiness.
* ''Manga/LaughingUnderTheClouds'', wherein even the army {{mooks}} are mostly {{Bishonen}}. Basically, if you have as much as two words to contribute to whatever's happening, you will be pretty.
* ''Anime/StarDriver'', where basically every single male of the important cast is very, very pretty. Hell, the main character is called ''Ginga {{Bishonen}}'', for crying out loud! You know you're there when even the villain, who's actually so old that he's [[spoiler:the hero's father]], is confused for a hot highschool guy.
* With a 2:1 gender ratio and three of the four male characters being rather attractive humans and a HalfHumanHybrid (the fourth is a bear, though even he may be considered attractive for his species), there's no question the cast of ''Anime/SandsOfDestruction'' is full of pretty boys. DVD BonusMaterial acknowledges this by making Agan a model, Naja his up-and-coming rival model, and Kyrie an apparently-random choice for the world's third-best-looking man (behind Agan and Naja, of course).
* ''Manga/DeathNote'' has quite a few {{Bishounen}} in its cast.
* ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'' takes place at an all-boys school, with the main cast being made up entirely out of AmbiguouslyGay {{Bishounen}}.
* ''Manga/{{Aruosumente}}'': With only two named female characters, the cast is overwhelmingly male and everyone below the age of fifty and with a name is ''pretty''.
* ''Anime/YuriOnIce'' focuses on male figure skating, and a good chunk of the cast is made up of good-looking young men as a result.
* ''Manga/{{Nanbaka}}'': It's a prison action comedy/drama, so it's probably inevitable that the men inside would be this. There's actually only one woman around and she's the head warder.
* ''Manga/{{Patalliro}}'': This comedy series, started in 1979 and having an anime adaptation in 1981, counts as one of the earliest mangas to utilize this trope.
* ''Manga/YonaOfTheDawn'' has [[TallDarkAndSnarky Hak]], [[RightHandOfDoom Kija]], [[ShyBlueHairedGirl Shin-ah]], [[ChivalrousPervert Jae-ha]], [[CuteLittleFangs Zeno]], and [[DudeLooksLikeALady Yoon]] escorting Yona on her goodwill tour around her country. Her first love [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Su-won]] adds his beauty to the central conflict of her life.
* ''Anime/WolfsRain'' is known for having a attractive cast (when they are in human form).

* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11886910/1/Gankona-Unnachgiebig-Unità Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità]]'': The only girls there are [[YaoiFangirl Hungary]] and [[{{Bifauxnen}} Liechtenstein]]. That's it.
* Most of the male Capricorn Pirates from ''Fanfic/OnePieceParallelWorks''. One reviewer Lampshades this by saying, "All of the Capricorn males are either {{Bishounen}} or had the potential to become one - Yes, even Hatori and [[{{The Alcoholic}} Thierry]]."

** It should be noted that this is a common trope for many sports related anime. ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'' and ''Manga/KurokoNoBasuke'' are also good examples of this trope.

* Pick an [[RomanceGame otome game]]. Any otome game. This trope is the point.

* ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' also features idols, but goes into full-on LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters territory with ''over thirty'' characters, all of them male, meeting [[TasteTheRainbow every possible standard of male beauty.]]

* ''Anime/MyHeroAcademia'': Most of Class 1-A counts as this. ''Especially'' their top dogs. Even less major characters can qualify as {{Bishounen}}.

* Most of the male Capricorn Pirates from ''Fanfic/OnePieceParallelWorks''. One reviewer Lampshades this by saying, "All of the Capricorn males are either {{Bishounen}} or had the potential to become one - Yes, even [[{{Adorkable}} Hatori]] and [[{{The Alcoholic}} Thierry]]."

[[caption-width-right:350:Even the ''[[{{Bifauxnen}} girl]]''[[note]]the one in the chair[[/note]] [[{{Bifauxnen}} gets in on the]] [[Series/That70sShow manpretty]].]]

* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'', the Creator/{{Capcom}} [[FollowTheLeader riv]][[DuelingGames al]] to Creator/{{Koei}}'s ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' and ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'', is loaded with lots of male characters, who are things for female players to ogle at. [[Characters/SengokuBasara Most of its characters]] satisfy some kind of fetish, but it's usually arguable that guys like Date Masamune, Sanada Yukimura, Mori Motonari and Chosokabe Motochika come out on top of the popularity list. It's telling that they are really gunning for this trope moreso than Koei, like how they turn [[RatedMForManly the usually macho, gung-ho Shibata Katsuie]] into a rather mopey but very pretty young man (same with Tokugawa Ieyasu, who usually got portrayed as an old man but here a clear cut young man), as well as how in ''Yukimura-Den'' installment, they eschews the notion of adding a new female character (they stuck with their rendition of Saika Magoichi, who's got a GenderFlip), when Koei usually is fairer to the X-Chromosome.
