Asian guys seem to end up looking prettier in a manga-character type way because they're built differently compared to westerners. Like the tranny violinist dude from Malice Mizer, or any theatrical glam J-rock bands. Or any amount of guys in martial arts films, the more wires and exotic slow-motion hairstyles the better.

Someone already said David Bowie, but you just have to look at guys in bands, and glam/goth films, and there'll always be a few lurking around.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers in Velvet Goldmine..
Johnny Depp when he was young enough to look androgynous.
Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire (much as that film, and indeed everything about Tom Cruise, annoys me these days)
Richey Edwards (ex-guitarist from Manic Street Preachers) before he disappeared into the River Severn..
James Iha from Smashing Pumpkins.
Guys from 80's cock-rock bands when they were young, and some of the 90s grunge bands who had them as role models. For a laugh, look up an early Guns'n'Roses video on Youtube, 'Welcome to the Jungle' for example, watch Axl Rose dance, and laugh at the thought that this is one of the most openly homophobic guys around...

But yeah, you just have to go to your average goth/glam/cyber/metal club night, (in a random city in the UK anyway) and there will be lot of very skinny guys who make a lot of effort on clothes and hair, and about 2 of them will be able to pull it off, or at least for about a year, before they start looking old from all the drugs. Especially nowadays, you've got a load of young guys into emo and probably manga too, who start growing their hair/nicking their mum's makeup even younger.

Probably gay clubs even more, but I haven't been to enough to judge, just chatted to some of the most unearthly-looking people I'd ever seen who were on the way to one, when I had a student job giving out flyers..

wow, that was a bit of an essay, heh I really liked pretty boys in an idealistic way when I was about 17/18

Japanese pop stars in general look very girly, so I didn't include anybody specific in my original list.

HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THIS THREAD LOL.

I just wanted to say that Miura Haruma is SUCH a bishounen that he could've literally WALKED OUT OF A MANGA.

Ladies (and gents?), tell me you do not hyperventilate when you look at this cutie, and I will not believe you:

SHIRTLESS WHUT!





















THREE MORE BISHIES, JUST IN CASE YOUR NOSEBLEEDS HADN'T KILLED YOU ALREADY:

Sato Takeru:









Matsuyama Kenichi:



Yamamoto Yusuke:









Thought he was just cute and not sexy?

Think again!

SHOWER WHUT!

*whimper*

*DED*

... Cute high school couple? WRONG! Two members of Shinee, a boy-idol group. I had a better picture of Taemin (left) in a girl's school uniform but I can't find it. Oh well, here's another for your viewing pleasure:

SHRIEK! Oh my god they actually do the cross-dressing couple thing IRL, oh my god. I thought that was just a manga thing. O_O Yay! <3

Thank you for the eyecandy.

And um here's more from me, not in a couple alas but still v. pretty. Like many others here, I think Matsumoto Jun is just dreamy, makes me all whirly-eyed. @_@




Uh... *DED*


*REVIVES* (Hey, I have to be alive to see this...)




STOP GLITTERING AT ME, YOU GLITTERY THING. *_*


Zomg involuntary Kuroshitsuji flashback!


Naw, not gay at all.






*PANT* WHERE IS THE REST OF THAT CHEST??


Mmmm. Bare arms.


Add a dangling cross to his ear and wouldn't he be the guy from A Sex Therapist?





O LAWD, LET ANGELS WITH SUCH FACES BE WAITING FOR ME IN HEAVEN. (Pref. virgins, like, 72 boy-virgins?) But I might never make it to heaven at this rate, lol.

Sexy shots of Matsumoto Jun:

Lemme take a dip in your pool, baby!

Wishful thinking...

And finally, perfection in human form, THE bishie to end all bishies (or maybe to start a massive bishie orgy? lol): Yoongwoong Jaejoong.


This is quite possibly the most perfect thing I have ever, ever seen. BABY, BE MINE. <333333333333333 Unless your handsome upperclassmen have already claimed you... Oh wait. They have, haven't they? <3

Btw, I hope I'm not spamming with images here? If the mods think there are too many, I'll stop. But there are just so many BISHIES, so little time...

It's true that orientals (chinese, japanese, korean) are built differently than westerners, or even their eastern counterparts.
My favorite is Kim Hye-Sung:
