Is Reinhard a Bishounen? Ikemen? the vain, flamboyant, and stunning type...?

Yes, he's considered otherworldly beautiful in universe even in the original novels. He doesn't care about it at all, but his looks actually help him stand out from the crowd.

Though him getting longer hair isn't related to beauty at all imo, he just stopped caring after certain events before becoming emperor. I've always associated his longer locks with growing detachment from his personal feelings.

I finished ep 8 and so far he looks very bishounen lawl

@fanaticrat Hello my friend LOM fan, it's been a while since we talked, well you say that about Reinhard because you haven't reached the later episodes yet, which is where the peak of his beauty is.

@ReMightyRon yeshh, it's been a while.. Hows it going and also I've seen pictures of Reinhard from the later episodes, he looks absolutely beautiful honestly. So elegant and gorgeous..

@Galletita I heard the books have long descriptions of his looks and beauty

To the question, his design does fall to the bishonen style

@fanaticrat I'm doing very well, always keeping my health up to date, this is super important to me, I see then you also saw some images of Reinhard from the future before finishing the anime, it was practically the same with me, yes for sure he is a character of that type!

@ReMightyRon That's great to hear honestly, I forgot to mention this as well but Reinhard from the future episodes kind of has that romantic melancholic vibe with the long hair too

@fanaticrat Your line of reasoning at the end perfectly describes what I felt when I saw Reinhard in those episodes, that was good, it clarified it better for me.
