Mwahahaha, yes, StarlightDreams, we are actually decent citizens (who happen to admire underaged bishies).

Sankyuu~ for the recs! <3

OH MY GOD ODETTE, I just read Tsumikabatsu and... and... It's the most FANTASTICALLY INSANE thing I've ever read, and I thought Patalliro was crazy... Oh my god. Any idea if any group's picked this up? 'Cause it seems to be an abandoned project... How sad, especially for such a manga of DEPRAVED GENIUS! (And how did this get into a shounen publication? Were the editors on crack? If so, I want me summa that. @_@)

AND GUESS WHAT I FOUND.

Yama Fu-Tang! This is the seminal androgynous bishie! I mean, if I wanted something to illustrate the epitome of what I was looking for in this thread, this boy would be it. It's also kind of... ridiculous how he for some reason has an erection or what looks like one in front of a room full of grizzly old men who might potentially kill him, but, uh, oh well. O__O;

This is swiftly turning into another I-can't-believe-this-is-shounen title. Unless the purpose of the incredibly beautiful androgynous bishie is to arouse the male readers? Because, uh, I think he definitely arouses the other male characters in the manga, and when he's got his clothes on, he does pass for a stunningly beautiful girl. Thank goodness he's kickass enough to spontaneously throttle/castrate potential "suitors"... (Damn it!)

Edit: That underlined bit in the Yama Fu-Tang paragraph IS a link, not merely an emphasis, and I beg of you to click on it if you're not at work. Lol. For "educational" purposes.

I've never been able to get into a trap manga before, but Yama Fu-Tang seems special. Thanks for rec'ing this little gem. (Your commentary is priceless, lol.)

Odette, my compadre in all things slashy, consider that rec my little gift to you. <3

I see. The glowing cone of light...oh my god, that's so yaoi-y.

I was just scanning a bit here, and so I was reminded of this thread. Sure took a while to find it again, I must say. Not that I have anything better to do with all this waiting time...


Once barbapapa edits volume 8, you'll see why this recommendation in particular is spot on for the original question.

(Oh, and StarlightDreams... If those choices don't make you shotacon, then I guess nothing will. But maybe you meant more like "not only a shotacon" )

Oh yeah, Amatsuki and Blizzard Axel. Uh...this topic is pretty much dead, isn't it?

did anyone mention Mother Keeper---all of tthe character are hot

in my opinion Until Death Do Us Part is also good ^^

B-b-but he's not a little bishie anymore! So technically not a shota~
Bishieness is not limited to age! lol Those were just ones I thought of on the top of my head~ Really never even read a shota before.

Well...
Arago - I think the main character is kinda cute
Jiraishin
Alive!
Dangu - A lot of nice men
Vinland Saga - I like Thorfin, can't be helped...
Defence Devil - got a cute main
D. Gray-man
1/2 Prince - A lot of bishies too!
Shinsengumi Jingishou Asagi - Nothing like the Shinsengumi
Banya - Maybe?
Ghost - The art is really nice... Though it's not scanlated... (it's licensed in my country)
Chrno Crusade - The bad guys are nice too :]
Renka - ...Maybe?!
Bleach, Fairy Tail - They got their share of cute male characters...

Ah! There's also Rainbow ...You will get 3 nice guys (An-chan, Mario and Joe) ;D

Lol, most of my recc's have already been said so I'm just going to throw one out there. I might come back with more later.

Anyway, you should definately try D-ASH, the main character is really cute, has had sex with 100+ girls and even has a gay guy who likes him. He also kinda has a baby-face. I thought it was a pretty interesting manga, though he may not be the insanely beautiful type you're looking for XD

EDIT: Before I get accused of shota-con, the first few chapters skip through time, so only the first couple are in elementary school. Most of the series is highschool-college 8D

Elemental Gelade? Not really to die for, but kinda good-looking.
Id - dude is extremely feminine. I guess you could call him a bishie. The rest of the people are ugly, though
Shinsengumi Imon Peace Maker also has some cute guys. Well, one that just stands out. But some are pretty good-looking.

1/2 Prince definitely. HOT BISHIES, nuff said (Wicked XD).

I was just looking through my lists for all the 'male-oriented' manga I read, and suddenly remembered this thread. I'm not really into the bishounen thing (even though I'm a girl- weird, huh?), but I thought I'd add something of my own choosing.

Kagerou Nostalgia - I'm surprised this hasn't already been mentioned.
Torikago Gakkyuu - Amazingly pretty art for a shounen.
Pandora Hearts sort of counts, right? People are always mistaking it for a shoujo / josei anyway.
Kamui - The demographic of this one keeps getting switched between shounen, seinen and shoujo, so I'm not sure if it counts.
Albaroze no Neko - From the one, very short chapter that has been scanned, I have to say this has a very unique style of art; if not pretty, at least really cool.
Brothers (NARUSE Yoshiki) - The two guys on the cover aren't really all that, but then again, they're not the protagonists. The two main characters and most of the supporting ones count as bishounen (I think ^^).
Tactics - Kantarou looks like a kid, but Haruka is widely accepted (by readers and in the manga itself) as been 'devilishly handsome'.
Kamiyama from Goth should fit.
Vampire Juujikai
Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna
Not really sure, but Nabari no Ou should be right as well.
Innocent W has nice art.
World End Fairytale - Haven't read it, though.
Baptist
Engage
Esperides Ode
Soukai Kessen
Totsugami
Drug-On - Sort of.

Well- that's all I could find. And I have to agree that Hinata no Ookami - Shinsengumi Kidan has unusually nice art for a seinen.
