If the chicks in Love Hina are bishoujos, then bishoujos seem a lot less two dimensional than bishounens. The chicks in Love Hina have way more character than any bishounen I've ever seen.

I'll slowly grill them in petrol and add
red imported fire ants on them
while I stamp their faces with a hot iron...

Duh, they just beat the hell outta the guy.
That's all there is to them.

Apparently you've never read Love Hina.

bishounen and bishoujo just mean "beautiful boy" and "beautiful girl". There's no other description. You can call Light or L from Death Note bishounens, and they're not exactly one-dimensional characters, and definitely not "pretty boy morons". I don't know where you're getting this description of bishies. Any young male manga character who looks handsome/beautiful is a bishounen, the deepness or shallowness of his character plays no part in it. I don't know why you're equating it with that.

If you're going to make characters at least make them enjoyable to look at. ;D If you get sick of bishis just read Angel Densetsu with it's refreshing bishi-free-ness. xD

The only thing I'd add to that is that bishies are supposed to be so beautiful they transcend the boundaries of gender.

I LOVE THEM! give me my bishies and Im super happy!!! plus so not true that girls like guys that are very MANLY, I read somewhere that girls actually like and think that guys as hot if they have more afeminate features...aka models and hot gay guys!!!!

I like guys with more leaner and tone body than the actually muscle head.....so yeah, tall and skinny is something I consider desireble in a male. ;)

oh by the way the poll just supports that girls LOVE bishies.....!!!!!!!!!!*nosebleed*

The only thing to love about them is there very pleasant shreeks and screems when you put them in a small room and light them all on fire.

I love them!!!
biggrin
I really like the feminime side of them..
In the real world they sure are rare creatures.
So when I found it in the anime/manga world I'm so happy eyes
And if they have a kind 'n gentle heart, it makes me sooo touched..
I'm just really like to see them... eyes

Y'know anime/manga world and the real world is different..
If in the anime/manga world, I'll choose bishonen..
If in the real world, I rather choose on their (boy) inner beauty..{(I guess)(but I'm not talking about an actor or artist or singer or idol)}

smile wink grin

... And secondly, I've never heard of a bishoujo...


I was getting that feeling from reading the first two pages of this thread, and I understand why now. Guess you learned something new out of this.

Anyway, I voted "hell yes!" since it was the only affirmative choice. I don't necessarily love them, but I understand that they definitely have a place in manga.

Personally, I enjoy it if an otherwise "normal" manga has that one bishie character that constantly becomes the butt of all of the other character's jokes. I know I've read some, I just can't think of any good examples.

I hate em! I hate em! I HATE THEM!
seriously, what's the point of having a dude, look like a girl? And why do women find em attractive? you might as well be a lesbian then. actually, I prefer that, since it's kinda hot.

And just think about the shock of being on vacation in Thailand, and thinking you scored a hot thai chick.
and when you get to your hotel room, IT'S A DUDE!!!!!!
