Inspired by this thread: Busty women is the way to go, forget the skinny type lolis!!!

Personally, I love abs, biceps and rippling back :3 that's why I prefer shounen than shoujo anime :3


Though, shota is cute too :3 at least the silent and badass one like Jonah :3


More than half of my fav are lean though.
It's all more about the personality and how well the character is written after all :3

My types are Hak, Arata, Harima and Dojo. So, it's a blend of lean and muscles. No no to Shota but Momiji and Honey-senpai are cute but not my type!

Toriko. He's what the ideal battle shonen protagonist should look like.

I would never watch battle shounen again if they all looked like that.

He even has a scary face. >_>


I like slimmer, prettier boys-that is why I prefer shoujo over shounen anime :D

Shota are good...but not if they ACT like babies...omg I'd gladly punch Honey in the face if I could. Freak. :/ Shota are only good if they are mature, cool, or badass.

Judging by my favorite male characters, it appears that most of them are somewhat lean so I'll claim that as my type.

Muscled men aren't really the type of men I root for. Sure some of my favorites can be muscular, but for the most part, I'm not fond of the hunky stuff.

As for shotas, I find them cute. All I can say is that I want more love for little boys in anime (and not for something like Boku no Pico).

I love a good, skinny bishounen. My goal for what I want to look like post-transition can be described by a number of different anime bishies, because that's what I grew up admiring the aesthetic of and it's a perfect sort of middle-ground between masculine and feminine beauty, while leaning towards masculine. I love them because they're what I want to be

I prefer it when they’re bishounen with some muscle.





I’m not into shotas (honey from OHSHC), guys who look way too skinmy (Accelerator), or overly muscular men like thr guys from part 1-3 of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.

I honestly swing both ways,just so long as the muscled guy isn't too overtly bulky to the point of exaggeration,those scare me lol.Shotas are pretty cool too,i love me some bishies.And I agree you can find men with muscles everywhere in shounen which is pretty cool,since i'm a bit tired of seeing the same lean,skinny type of male character so many times in other anime,which i would guess is what the japanese prefer.

Eeeeh,too bulky for my taste.That guy's outfit reminds me of goku's gi and i prefer goku's muscles over his mostly because they look less ridiculous.Besides,he is also a kind boy as well.

Well he´s a bit more serious in this pic,but he´s mostly a pretty nice boi.And also i don´t think the toriko guy´s hairstyle is a good look at all.

I don't like big muscles (like in early JoJo, Baki, Dragon Ball etc, it looks grotesque, Makoto from Free is also too much imo) and I also dislike shotas (it's disgusting for me as a fetish/preference, and usually annoying as a character archetype - with some exceptions). I like adult anime guys with mild/medium muscles the most, like Gintoki, Hijikata, Spike, Kougami, Gilgamesh, Lancer etc.

I like bishounen and ikemen types, tall and slim. If a boy is small he has to be either super cute or a trap.

The absolute winners here are:

- Flashy Flash. He’s muscular, but not too much (was kinda buff in the onsen episode though). Also love the fact he has a thigh gap - extremely hot


- Amai Mask. He has that killer waist, oh my!

Hey, if you enjoy Dragon Ball and One Piece, I highly recommend you read Toriko, because it kinda feels like a mix of the two. Wild superpowers, wacky adventures, etc. Though unfortunately the Toriko anime is a trash adaption of a high quality manga so I can only recommend the manga ;A;

Understandable. I just had to recommend it since Toriko is one of my most favorite manga ever, and it is very similar to series such as Dragon Ball and One Piece.

we get characters like this:

Idk if Bakugo is a good example of a muscular dude, chief. Shoji's body is a way better example in every way possible, but we don't know his face so I understand why you didn't mention people like him. But still, Shoji has a great body.

There are also people like Zoro and Ace who both have masterpieces as bodies, but my personal favourite is Oikawa from Haikyuu.

Well, I assume at least those doujin protagonists are happy with their life...

But still, I'm definitely not fat (190cm and 80kg) and I don't think I'm ugly and just in general I never got why there have to be physical similarities to self-insert? When I fap I can self-insert into 80yo men or 12yo shotas or a trap getting raped by a pack of futas - physical similarities are literally the last thing on my mind when I look at what to fap to. I don't think that's how it works, you don't self-insert into a specific character, you just self-insert into the situation itself and fap away.

Also I thought it was pretty obvious that I wasn't being serious to begin with, I mean the thread is asking for our 'type' and not what we self-insert into. I'm not really attracted to any male character types so I was just shitposting for the lulz. But if I had to back up my choice I'd argue that it has nothing to do with their physique, I appreciate them because they give me the kinky doujins I like. It feels like you only ever get good-looking guys in doujins when they are either BL or Traps or just super boring lovey-dovey vanilla sex. That's why I count on my army of fat, ugly bastards to provide me with the good stuff :>.

I think more than looks, it’s personality I go for with anime characters. Being that I’m a bit obsessed with Inuyasha and I don’t think it’s particularly his appearance I’m attracted to as much as how adorable I find him. Especially when he’s grumpy or blushing - I’m a total cliche that’s fallen hook line and sinker for the tsundere trope.

What I think is odd is that my type in guys irl is totally different to who I like in anime. Mainly because I think yaoi is mostly written by females for females (and I’m a gay guy) and while it pushes the right buttons in general, the guys in yaoi are not my normal types at all.

Hopefully in the future we’ll get more bara anime which seems to cater to my irl interests in guys but until we get hot older guy types, I’m more than enjoying all the lean muscle types in anime.

Also, not in sexual way because he’s like 14 in the anime but I find Syaoran Li completely adorable. I mean just look at him, he’s so cute.

I've ranted about my older 'fave' guys on this forum and many others...so I think it's ZACK'S turn now.

Many people might find the idea of being extremely attracted to a psychopathic homicidal, scarred mummy man as "odd" or "messed up"...but let me show you how very wrong that is.







Simply put, he is sexy as fuck




and Ray knows it. ^______^



On a last note, Gilgamesh is good. Law is good. Inuyasha is good. They're all good, yes.
