If you're a straight man who can't say a fictional character is good-looking without feeling like your sexuality is being called into question, don't bother or go and waste your time.



He wouldn't be my answer if I had to think about it and I haven't read/watched the series, but I saw a picture of Dabi (not the one below) and was inspired to make this thread.



Just found out that his quirk is blue flames, which is even hotter (pun intended).




EDIT: Dabi may have inspired this thread, but my answer is the most basic: Gojo Satoru.


Also feels like a crime not to mention "Slam Dunk."

@AMBITZZ It is the skin care, Shishio from Rurouni Kenshin is a close second.

Sasori [Naruto] [Kishimoto when I caught you someday], from BNHA I can't choose one, the best guy changes every month in my mind, so close to Dabi let's go with Shigaraki.
Solf J. Kimblee [FMA], Douma and Shinazugawa Sanemi [KNY], Satoru Gojo and Mahito [JJK] and in the end cuz I can go forever Wall Eehto [Fairy Tail] [and many, many honorable mentionsXD]

@Ricchan__ Impressed with myself that I correctly guessed that he's from "YuYu Hakusho." That image looks like fanart that resembles the original art style but mixed with the artist's own style, so I was unsure.

@Szczelajo Sasori is a cute choice. Mahito is so annoying to me that I can't find him appealing, but Gojo is the star of JJK for a reason. He'd probably be my answer - or at least, one of the top answers. Also, I have not found the "Demon Slayer" art style that attractive, but those characters actually look pretty good in those images!

@Clovis I never realized that Kurapika has the chained rings. Nice touch. I gotta say that he looks better in that image than he does in the actual art style...

@FZREMAKE Good selections! Tite Kubo's art is full of attractive characters all around. When I watched "Burn the Witch," it stood out to me how good-looking the characters are (Noel, Ninny, Bruno, and even Balgo).

Not sure about most, but the first few characters that come to mind are Giotto from Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Nagare Ryoma from Getter Robo, Tsukune Aono from Rosario to Vampire Season 2 manga, Aizen from Bleach, Nueno from Jigoku Sensei Nube (anime design), Nura Rihan from Nurarihyon no Mago.

No one mentioned Kuchiki Byakuya (Bleach) yet? And Kanda Yuu from D.Gray-Man for the second place. (I have a type)

Tite Kubo is the best at making handsome shounen men. I almost want to go back to Bleach because of how beautiful everybody is in the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, but I really don't care about the story beyond the Arrancar/Karakura arc. If anyone knows another artist that draws men like Tite Kubo does by the end of Bleach, please tell me.

Yuukoku no Moriarty feels like cheating, because the whole series has such a femgaze aesthetic despite its shounen origins, but Sherlock Holmes was the first guy I thought of. His whole personality and demeanor checks out about everything I find attractive, haha.

@keirashii I like the specification on "2011" but he doesn't look so bad in the 1999 version! Then again, I like 90s art styles. Always thought Chrollo had a cool design.

He's the best at making everyone look good. There are instances where I like how male characters are drawn but then the female characters leave a bit (or a lot) to be desired, but Kubo is the best of both worlds. I'd also like to read/watch more series with character designs that resemble his.

@Rinrinka It has to be said that Bucciarati is my #1 favorite Jojo character, so I know that there is a lot to like about him. He's the best, but I think there are better-looking male characters in the series.







Limiting myself to the three above and part 5 for the sake of brevity.



EDIT: It left a bad taste in my mouth to discredit this answer - especially when it comes to Bucciarati. Being attractive can mean more than looks and I was too focused on this question in a very surface level way. Thanks for admiring qualities that are more than skin-deep!

Jean Kirstein from Attack On Titan.



His teenage self is cute but post time skip glow up is the best.

I could name many, many more that fit the attractive character bill in my book but aren’t necessarily my favourite character in the series. Jean ticks both of those boxes for me.
