History Bishonen / AnimeAndManga

%%** [[EvilIsSexy Tyki]]

* ''Anime/MetalFightBeyblade'': Being tanned doesn't stop Tsubasa Otori from being a bishōnen.

* ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'': [[PrincelyYoungMan Titus Alexius]]. Lampshaded, when [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Aladdin]] ignores his outstretched hand and instead starts to fondle his chest. He then calmly explains that, between his soft voice and butt, he assumed that Titus had to actually be a girl. Unfortunately, it turns out that Titus' feminine appearance is actually his BerserkButton, likely because [[spoiler:it [[CloningBlues reminds him]] that's he's an OppositeSexClone of Scheherazade]].

%%* ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'': Natsuru Senou in his [[GenderBender male form]].

%%* ''LightNovel/{{Inukami}}'': Keita and Hake, as well as most other male characters who aren't macho or {{Gonk}}.
* A number of male characters from ''Manga/InuYasha'', including Sesshomaru, Naraku, etc. Long hair makes the man, and also confuses gender.

* Takaya Ohgi and Nobutsuna Naoe in ''LightNovel/MirageOfBlaze''.

* ''Anime/WeissKreuz'' gets points for admitting it. Youji calls Omi "bishōnen" to his face in one episode, but he ain't the only one.

%%* Seiya Kanie and Takaya Kurisu from ''LightNovel/AmagiBrilliantPark''.

* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'':

%%* ''LightNovel/BrothersConflict'':

* ''LightNovel/{{Corsair}}'': All the men are very pretty, except Barbossa.

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'': Kasuka, Izaya (unfortunately), and Shinra. And then there's Mikado, Kida, Aoba, Seiji, Tanaka Tom, Walker, Shijima, Chikage and...[[HotforStudent Nasujima-sensei]]. Also Unfortunately.

* Lancer of ''LightNovel/FateZero'' (aka [[Myth/CelticMythology Diarmuid Ua Duibhne]]) takes prettiness up to the realm of being a superpower -- literally. Unfortunately, [[SoBeautifulItsACurse supernatural levels of beauty does not mix well]] with [[MurderTheHypotenuse jealous lords and their smitten fiances]].

* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' brings us Kurz, who was even a former model. Then, we've got Leonardo. And, of course, [[ChasteHero Sousuke]], in an UnkemptBeauty sort of way.

* Itsuki Koizumi in ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya''. That is, in a Brigade of crazy people, with a cynical DeadpanSnarker who constantly tells him that no one cares about him. He probably just ''appears'' to be one, but he sure seems to make most women blush. As Kyon puts it, 'A face I wouldn't introduce to my girlfriend'.

%%* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'': Yuuto Kiba.

* ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh'':

* Nezumi and Shion from ''LightNovel/{{No6}}'', especially Nezumi, who even dresses up as a girl in episode 5 and is rather convincing, too.

%%* ''LightNovel/StudentCouncilsDiscretion'' gives us Ken Sugisaki and ''especially'' Nakameguro.
* A good amount of the male characters in ''LightNovel/{{Sukisho}}'', especially Sunao with his long hair. A boy's love series taking place at an all-boy's school fills itself up with these almost by default.

** In ''Anime/DigimonAdventureTri'', pretty much ''all'' of the boys have this aesthetic to them. Yamato/Matt and Takeru/TK (the latter is even shown to have invited a couple of female admirers to the former's concert) seem to be the ones who were drawn this way on purpose, but [[TheLeader Taichi/Tai]], [[TheSmartGuy Koushiro/Izzy]] and even [[TeamDad Joe]] have also gotten quite pretty as well. [[TheChick Mimi]] lampshades this in regards to Tai and Matt, mentioning that they've grown to be quite attractive (with [[TeamMom Sora]] blushing in response). Heck, even Tai's ''teacher'' is pretty!

* ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'': Everyone, since it's a boy's love novel, but a few minor characters, especially Riki.

** May Chang's fantasies about Edward Elric depict him as a dashing, slender PrinceCharming. While Ed isn't bad-looking by any means, he's drawn to be more handsome than pretty, having a muscular body and fairly masculine-looking face despite his short height. In the [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist 2003 anime]], his design leans closer towards being a bishōnen as he lacks his manga counterpart's more pronounced jawline and has a slightly more slender build.

** In the [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist first anime]], Roy actually ''sparkles'' during his "Flame vs. Fullmetal" duel with Ed -- a trait usually reserved for Armstrong.

** There's also [[HotScientist Dr. Itsuki]] (who bears a suspicious resemblance to the above-mentioned Rossiu) and Souichi Yagumo (who bears a suspicious resemblance to his own ''girlfriend'', Kim).

** In ''Anime/DigimonAdventureTri'', pretty much ''all'' of the boys have this aesthetic to them. Yamato/Matt and Takeru/TK (the latter is even shown to have invited a couple of female admirers to the former's concert) seem to be the ones who were drawn this way on purpose, but [[TheLeader Taichi/Tai]], [[{{Nerd}} Koushiro/Izzy]] and even [[TeamDad Joe]] have also gotten quite pretty as well. [[TheChick Mimi]] lampshades this in regards to Tai and Matt, mentioning that they've grown to be quite attractive (with [[TeamMom Sora]] blushing in response). Heck, even Tai's ''teacher'' is pretty!

* D from ''LightNovel/VampireHunterD''. EvenTheGuysWantHim.

** ''Anime/YuGiOh'' takes this trope to such [[UpToEleven ridiculous extents]] that, chances are, if you're a major villain, you're probably going to be [[DudeLooksLikeALady very feminine in appearance!]] Not to mention, its successors both have this trope in spades as well.
