Why? Because they look like girls? Because they dress like girls? Because they act like girls? Yet they arn't transgendered?

Why is this? Because Japan Is Crazy! *pulls her hair out* Bleba blebba blebba... @.@

I know a few manga artists who do doujinshi as well, but not many who go from djs to original manga. I would love to see Arina do it, though - she's excellent at both the angsty plots and the art itself. #^_^#

Fangirls are cool.

And Kurama rocks, youko AND ningen.

Hiei looks like such a cutie when he isn't in his demon form...I'd pinch his cheeks if I wasn't afraid of him cutting me in half. Oh, and if he wasn't just an animated character.

Why are real bishounen so hard to find?

real bishounen are so hard to find because they are usually 1)gay or 2)taken. it is sad

Heh, I'm all about the eyes - I'll overlook many things if the guy has beautiful eyes. Or hair - I like guys with enough hair to hold onto. ^_^;;

Certainly explains why I like to look at anime guys with long hair and effeminate features (effeminate meaning 'lovely' not really 'female' in the strictest sense since - as Izumi noted - they are male in gender). I don't think there's any harm in making characters pretty - there are pretty men in real life, but anime is fantasy. If artists can't make characters pretty just because the creator wants to, then there isn't much point in drawing anime - just write the story if you don't want the art to be lovely. o.O

Where's the fun in that? Don't like lovely characters, don't watch anime that has lovely characters. Makes sense to me. ^_^

::grumbles:: Damn. There is a severe bishounen shortage in Miami. This is so unfair. And anime fans are hard to find too...I lucked out that there's actually an anime crowd at my school. But none of them are into yaoi.

Heh, if he were an anime character, I bet he'd be Ken from Weiss Kruez - unless he's the uber-softie type...that could work for Shuichi from Gravitation providing he looked good with pink hair. o.O

{[And Oto: that pic is only 'pretty' if you find Inui from Prince of Tennis 'pretty' - he isn't bad looking, but I wouldn't call him lovely. I can't even see if he has pretty eyes. : (
