Is there such a thing? Not just shounen/seinen with a mildly good-looking lead - I mean a really gorgeous bishounen lead. Or a biseinen lead. Just a jaw-droppingly delicate, beautiful guy that's slender/willowy and could turn straight men gay if they were open-minded enough to consider it.

Based on Wikipedia's definition, a "bishounen" is:


Yeah. THAT.

But he doesn't have to be young, necessarily, just exquisitely beautiful.

... So, yeah.

Got milk?

i don't know what kind of bishounen that interest you... but i love Zero n Kaname (Vampire Knight) and Mui (Bride of Water God).

________________

Those are shoujo; read thread title.

It really depends on personal preference I guess. O_O But the only ones I can think of are Rurouni Kenshin and Wolf's Rain. Maybe some of Clamp's series as well.

1/2 prince i guess and maybe Ubel Blatt.

Mizuho Ambivalent ? (gender bender ,seinen)
a male lead is beautiful like a girl (dress as a gal) and there's a guy who already fall for him even he know the truth...but the male lead still like a girl.


________________

For the wrong reasons that OP is asking for, blak, you rascal...!

And bishounens are usually shoujo-exclusive for obvious reasons. I mean, you'd be hard-pressed to find a bishoujo as a Shoujo female lead, no? I'll try, anyways, since this is a subjective issue as Bae mentioned.

IMO, Zetman's lead qualifies... he's not feminine, but I guess he has that rough "seme" look. >.>;; Plus, he usually has the main girls falling for him, or resemble some sort of attraction to him. Do note that the manga starts when he's just a little child. And probably Light from Death Note qualifies as a bishie too, actually, lots of the male characters in this manga do. Dogs, too. Maybe Eternal Sabbath? It has this Shoujo-esque art.

Now, that I think of it, this is very much Law's taste. o.o

As for anime, try Gundam 00 and/or Code Geass.

crying freeman. the guy gets all the girls haha

Karneval - It's considered a Josei, but it has a lot of action, and the guys are really sexy. Every last one of them!

The Breaker - I don't really know what you taste in guys are, but I think the guys in The Breaker are pretty sexy. Plus its a seinen so it should be fine.

Ilegenes - Its supposed to be shoujo, but not only does it have enough action and mystery to it, it supposedly gets darker down the line.

Bleach: The art is really good, and I personally believe that the main is pretty attractive. The art gets really great as the story goes on.

D.Gray-Man: The art is really good. Allen, Lavi, and Yu, can easily be considered as Bishounen characters.

Well just give these a try. I suggest looking midway through the manga to look at the art, since the art usally gets better halfway through. I've spent a long time scoping out any Bishounen characters that I can so if you know of any more, do tell.
