An array of pretty people as eye candy isn't just for the guys. Girls get their Cast Full Of Pretty Boys to ogle too in the name of fanservice. This tends to be less noticeable than its female counterpart because exclusively (or near-exclusively) male casts are already common and expected (thought not always with the intentional appeal to females) and the fanservice tends to be along the lines of "he cooks" or "naked chest" and thus usually objectifies in a different way than in male-oriented shows. The writers sometimes leave it to their audience to retrofit the standard group of friends into the Unwanted Harem if they wish. Some series of this flavor go the reverse harem route and have an ordinary female lead among the Pretty Boys as an audience surrogate, although the girly keet type can be used this way too. Sometimes these stories have their own version of Those Two Guys. One will be a 'normal' audience surrogate and thus a young (but non-threatening) girl. Another will be a more 'ideal' woman, often a clever, sexy, and mature lady who barely fits into her dress. Compare and contrast Improbably Female Cast, Otokonoko Genre, World of Muscle Men. |

Sengoku Basara, the Capcom rival to Koei's Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, is loaded with lots of male characters, who are things for female players to ogle at. Most of its characters satisfy some kind of fetish, but it's usually arguable that guys like Date Masamune, Sanada Yukimura, Mori Motonari and Chosokabe Motochika come out on top of the popularity list. It's telling that they are really gunning for this trope moreso than Koei, like how they turn the usually macho, gung-ho Shibata Katsuie into a rather mopey but very pretty young man (same with Tokugawa Ieyasu, who usually got portrayed as an old man but here a clear cut young man), as well as how in Yukimura-Den installment, they eschews the notion of adding a new female character (they stuck with their rendition of Saika Magoichi, who's got a Gender Flip), when Koei usually is fairer to the X-Chromosome. | |

Fight Club seems to do this on purpose. It gives the audience highly attractive men like Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Jared Leto in varying states of undress, a ton of Ho Yay... and then has them violently beat the shit out of each other. If you're into that kinda thing you'll be in heaven. | |

Blood Bank has a decent proportion of female characters for a Yaoi, but every male character with even a miniscule amount of panel time is highly attractive. The ones that aren't in the present day are inevitably revealed to have been handsome in their time. Made all the more noticeable when very pretty characters are called ugly in-story. | |

K is about a magic system where seven powerful Kings form Clans of followers with superpowers. With the exception of three beautiful girls, they're all pretty boys.

07-Ghost main cast has only males, with only a few women on the side. Not only that, but every male character who isn't a geezer is *fabulous* , and good looks are apparently required to be a bishop. Then there's all the rampant Ho Yay... | |

Skins seemingly uses a very simple recipe for casting: "hot" and "in their late teens" which naturally results in this trope on the male side. Especially present in the third generation, when Nick, Matty, Rich, Rider and Alex can all be counted as pretty boys. | |

His next big work, B't X is even more into this trope. Because as vaguely homoerotic as it was when Shun revived Hyoga by cuddling up to him, nothing surpasses the bishieness of Demon Knight Sapphire. Because really, he himself says he's really into "what's hot and what's not" and goes so far as to kiss Teppei. | |

Highlander has this in spades. Duncan, Methos, Richie...many of the baddie immortals aren't exactly ugly either. It's not an *all* male cast, due to Tessa in season 1 and the recurring Amanda and Dr. Lindsay later on, but it fits. The films have it as well, but the series is more noticeable. | |

Tantei Team KZ Jiken Note: The main cast of consists of four boys and one girl. While the boys are not exactly Bishōnen, they are good-looking enough that western viewers of the anime adaptation often wondered the possibility a case of reverse harem (as the girl is The Protagonist). Being a series written for tweens, that is obviously downplayed. The spinoff Genie Team G Jiken Note, however, plays this trope the most straight; the male cast◊ there is the most Bishōnen allowed in a Middle Grade Literature artwork. |

The only major characters who aren't attractive men are the attractive woman General Director Mauve, the cute little sister Lotta, and the 99-year-old king. Notable in that quite a few of the pretty "boys" are over 30. It does take place in the offices of a government agency, after all. | |

Even the most feminist-leaning seasons of Power Rangers have an almost two-to-one ratio of male to female characters (standard procedure is four male rangers, two female; changes to the formula only lead to fewer females such as the five-to-one Ninja Storm.) This leads to an almost all-male cast of young, good-looking, athletic pretty boys year after year. | |

Possibly unintentional on the part of its creators, Metalocalypse fits this trope. Dethklok and their manager are all attractive (even Murderface has his offbeat charm) males, the only female characters are extras or, in one case, a recurring villain, and the show is liberally peppered with Ho Yay. This was Lampshaded in a season 4 episode where the band goes on vacation to the Middle East and are mistaken for women by absolutely everyone. Even the few guys who believe they're men still find them attractive. |

Inuyasha has this in spades. note If you've been reading The TV Tropes Drinking Game, take a swig. If the character is central to the plot and male, he will be Bishonen. | |

Most of the WWE roster, to the point that quite a few wrestlers have even made their pretty looks a part of their gimmick, or given themselves a nickname to reflect that they're a part of this trope. Examples include "Prince Pretty" Tyler Breeze, "The Shaman of Sexy" John Morrison, and of course "Dashing" Cody Rhodes. Scotty 2 Hotty jokes that towards the end of his term in WWE, he asked if he could drop the "2 Hotty" part of his ring name, in contrast to some of the more attractive guys on the roster. | |

Schitt's Creek: For a small rural town, there sure are a lot of handsome young men in Schitt's Creek. The 30ish crowd includes David, Mutt, Ted, Jake, and Patrick as well as bit players like Dr. Miguel and the "hottie" that hits on Patrick at the store. It's so noticeable, that Buzzfeed journalist joked with Annie Murphy and Noah Reid about it in an online video. | |

An accusation Delirious threw at Último Dragón's Toryumon promotion while he was working for it, one that many people agree with though most of them don't find it such a bad thing. This is less true of regional variants such as Dragon Gate USA and Toryumon Mexico, but only slightly. There's a reason Delirious's pretty boy rival Matt Sydal was the first gaijin to win the Open The Brave Gate in Dragon Gate proper. | |

Fire Emblem Fates has an equal ratio of men to women, but several of the male characters are young adults with Bishounen features, but especially the Hoshido Kingdom. The Aggressive Submissive Takumi, or alternatively, in a certain path he is crazy and tragic, but still beautiful anyway,Nice Guy ninja Kaze, the Little Bit Beastly Kitsune Kaden, the playful Subaki, Cloud Cuckoolander Izana, the diva Shigure... The Nohr Kingdom only have half of Bishōnen Hoshido have, but it's there. The Jerkass Battle Butler Jakob, the cool Leo, and his Dude Looks Like a Lady son Forrest... Take your pick. | |

Prétear, created entirely on the premise of combining a Magical Girl anime with a male Unwanted Harem. Even if a few of them are far too young to be bishonen yet, they are clearly meant to be bishonen in training and before the series started, they were bishonen until they were killed by the villain. | |

Nearly every male character in Dynasty Warriors is, if not a downright Bishōnen, rather good-looking, although all of the bishonen are from one of the Three Kingdoms (when they're not moonlighting due to game circumstances). Before DW7, Wu had the highest concentration of bishonen; now, Jin takes the crown, seemingly designed to be a Ghetto. Since Samurai Warriors is derived from Dynasty Warriors, it's only natural that the trope applies there as well. | |

Taken to a ridiculous extreme in Sukisho. There are no female characters in the entire series, and all characters are either pretty boys, handsome men in their 30s, or young boys, and one crossdresser housewife.

Band of Brothers has many characters, most of which are played by attractive young men (not restricted to just-starting-out Damian Lewis, Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy, James McAvoy etc.). The likes of Ross McCall (Liebgott), Eion Bailey (Webster), Scott Grimes (Malarkey) and James Madio (Perconte) have huge female followings. The uniform might have something to do with it. The series has a huge Periphery Demographic of female fans precisely for this reason. | |

Although Chrono Crusade has quite a bit of fanservice based around its mostly female True Companions, it's not hard to notice that every single important male character is very good looking, and these characters probably have as many Shirtless Scenes as the girls have Clothing Damage scenes, if not more.

It's very easy to confuse The Prince of Tennis for a Boys' Love series due to its largely male cast and mostly Yaoi Fangirl following. Actually it's a Shōnen manga and anime, however, it's a very fine example of the increasingly prevalent Bishōnen Jump Syndrome (and what a surprise, Prince of Tennis happens to be serialized in Shounen Jump). | |

The Warblers in Glee are, for the most part, very hot and very good at singing. And it only becomes more so after Kurt transfers to Dalton. All the other hot guys on the show - Finn, Sam, Puck and Mike for starters. Also Will, Sebastian and Joe. |

Star Driver, where basically every single male of the important cast is very, very pretty. Hell, the main character is called Ginga Bishōnen, for crying out loud! You know you're there when even the villain, who's actually so old that he's the hero's father, is confused for a hot high school guy. | |

The Jem and the Holograms (IDW) comic is a comic series that adheres to this. The guys weren't exactly unattractive in the Jem cartoon but the reboot made them much more prettier. They updated the fashion and the animesque style makes them look bishonen. Rio, Craig, Riot, and Techrat are all slim and fashionable. Eric is now an attractive, glasses wearing businessman. Even Shana's boyfriend is a cute looking Big Beautiful Man. Jem And The Holograms is female aimed so that might be a factor behind all the main males looking as they do. | |

Hetalia: Axis Powers: All of the main characters, the Axis 3 and the 5 Allies, are young men. The main reason for this? The author has trouble drawing women. Ironically, many of the main characters were initially meant to be middle-aged. The first and most prominent female character is Hungary, who appears in the center of the volume 5 cover. It's probably not a coincidence that's she's a fujoshi. She is not the female audience surrogate, however; Seychelles was made for that purpose. | |

The Final Fantasy franchise has always catered to this trope on some level, though only by including one or two "token" bishonen rather than a whole harem. However, Kingdom Hearts relishes in coming up with more and more bishonen to throw into the fray, the biggest example being Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II, in which the villains are a sprawling organization of super-hot men with one token female on the team.Even True Organization XIII counts, because except for two old men, the rest of the members are one cute young Bishōnen and the rest are fine hunks, because Master Xehanort isn't as awfully disfigured as Voldemort, and all of his other incarnations are either cute young Bishōnen or hunks. Even those whose bodies he stole, Terra, and Saix, are fine hunks too. Gee, is Master Xehanort's goal of collecting his other incarnations are to make him easier to dominate the world or to make a boy band of his past hunky selves? The all-star fighting game Dissidia Final Fantasy includes the main hero and villain out of the first ten games in the franchise. This leads to 21 out of 24 male leads. The heroes only have one girl on their side (leaving out Shanttoto, who's a bonus character). By default, the game qualifies for this trope just for including Cecil and Kuja in the same cast. The female headcount goes down by one when you realize that Cloud of Darkness is actually genderless and only takes the form of a beautiful woman. Final Fantasy XV takes this trope and runs with it, featuring an all-male party that fans have compared to a boy band. |

Most of the male Capricorn Pirates from One Piece: Parallel Works. One reviewer Lampshades this by saying, "All of the Capricorn males are either Bishounen or had the potential to become one - Yes, even Hatori and Thierry." | |

Parodied in Senpai Club. The titular senpai (bar the one female) are all varying degrees of anime stereotypes such as the Long-Haired Pretty Boy and the keet. The problem is that they're drawn in a very simplistic and stylistic way compared to everyone else, who is animesque. | |

As the page quote states, almost all the characters on Yu-Gi-Oh! are men, and most are either feminine or American, sometimes both. The best evidence of this is the Marik's Evil Council videos, where all the villains appear in succession, and aside from Zorc and possibly Akun (or Bob), ALL of them are incredibly bishonen. It's even more obvious in the other two. Latter has emphasis on the Ghetto. | |

Shadowhunters may have the prettiest cast of any Urban Fantasy series. Jace, Alec, Simon, Raphael, Magnus and Luke are all good-looking young men in good shape. Hodge is given Adaptational Attractiveness to become a Pretty Boy too. Of course the other side of the spectrum isn't left out either - since Clary and Isabelle are both quite pretty too. | |

Rune Factory tends more toward the opposite end of the spectrum, though; more often than not, almost every job in town is done by a cute, single girl (and/or her sadly unmarriable mother). Particularly glaring in Rune Factory Oceans, the first game to feature a female player option at all; Sonia gets four choices for marriage (including Aden), while Aden gets ten. Rune Factory 4 and Rune Factory 5, which allow you to play as a female character from the beginning, have an equal amount of bachelors and bachelorettes. | |

Shakespeare Unwrapped - an Irish Edutainment Show went for a Younger and Hipper cast to make King Lear more relatable to school children. As the play only has three female parts, the majority of the cast are twenty-something guys. Notably this also plays up the Ho Yay between Kent and Lear, as well as between Cornwall and Gloucester. | |

While Harvest Moon games have the option of playing a female and thus providing a list of eligible bachelors, some of the more recent ones have started slipping in greater amounts of this into the bachelor selection. Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility even includes a guy feminine you can woo him with flowers. Not surprising, as one of the chief complaints of female players was that the roster of wives were significantly better looking and interesting than the grooms. The spinoff Rune Factory and its sequels amps this up: even the main character, who is male, can be considered cuter than one or two of the bachelorettes. Rune Factory tends more toward the opposite end of the spectrum, though; more often than not, almost every job in town is done by a cute, single girl (and/or her sadly unmarriable mother). Particularly glaring in Rune Factory Oceans, the first game to feature a female player option at all; Sonia gets four choices for marriage (including Aden), while Aden gets ten.

The all-star fighting game Dissidia Final Fantasy includes the main hero and villain out of the first ten games in the franchise. This leads to 21 out of 24 male leads. The heroes only have one girl on their side (leaving out Shanttoto, who's a bonus character). By default, the game qualifies for this trope just for including Cecil and Kuja in the same cast. The female headcount goes down by one when you realize that Cloud of Darkness is actually genderless and only takes the form of a beautiful woman. | |

Saiyuki: The basic series premise is not 'A loose retelling of Journey to the West.' It's 'Throw three hot guys and their cute surrogate little brother in a small jeep and watch the fireworks.' The only significant female characters are Lirin and Yaone. Yaone was added in to increase the number of girls and in one volume a note from Minekura at the end states: "There are no women in this volume, I looked back and found a couple of pages with Kannon." As for Kanzeon? Close but no cigar. | |

The Lord of the Rings movies have a grand total of three female main characters. Much of the rest of the cast varies between Pretty Boys and Hunk. Even uncursed Theoden is a Silver Fox. The costumes don't help matters: these clothes would make almost anyone look good. Neither does the Ho Yay between main characters. Subverted in The Hobbit where the prettiness of the cast is reduced by a half, since most of the dwarves are older. | |

Charmed didn't have this in the main cast but rather in the guest stars. It was noted that most of the recurring love interests for the sisters were lantern-jawed, chiselled Hunks and Pretty Boys. Julian McMahon became a 2000s sex symbol because of his role on the show and later Nip/Tuck. | |

Aruosumente: With only two named female characters, the cast is overwhelmingly male and everyone below the age of fifty and with a name is pretty. | |

In Season 4 of Merlin, Prince Arthur assembles his Knights of the Round Table. Recruitment seems to be based on how very, very pretty they are.◊ Also, how drop-dead gorgeous our title character◊ is. | |

Meine Liebe follows this trope with unabashed faithfulness, adding plenty of Ho Yay thrown in for good measure. The anime was worse, reducing the female character in the games to token appearances. |

YuYu Hakusho is another great example: while the central True Companions gender ratio is almost 50/50, the focus is overwhelmingly on guys, many of whom are quite Bishounen. The big exception is Kuwabara, but damn if he doesn't make up for that with his great physique! This was not at all the case back when the premise was 'dead delinquent having heart-warming yet hilarious ghostly adventures', when the main characters were Yusuke and Botan, with Keiko and then Kuwabara becoming increasingly important, and also Shota who appeared twice and Sayaka the ghost girl who joined up for a while. | |

You and Me centers on a group of bishounen childhood friends, especially the twins Yuki and Yuta. | |

Free! has a cast that, by far, only consists of five attractive and well built male swimmers. And season two introduces a new set of pretty boys in addition to the old cast. The prequel film High★Speed! - Free! Starting Days introduces a new set of swimmers in middle school - who return as well-built and pretty university boys in season three. |

A number of Korean dramas fit this trope, but particularly The First Shop of Coffee Prince, in which a sexy 30-something rake overhauls a coffee shop by hiring only sexy young men. Of course, one of them is someone he only thinks is a young man. | |

Arguably, Masami Kurumada as the author of Saint Seiya popularized this. After all, who else would have the guts to name a man Aphrodite? His next big work, B't X is even more into this trope. Because as vaguely homoerotic as it was when Shun revived Hyoga by cuddling up to him, nothing surpasses the bishieness of Demon Knight Sapphire. Because really, he himself says he's really into "what's hot and what's not" and goes so far as to kiss Teppei. Fou and Quattro— born in Sodom, died in Sodom! CLAMP started off drawing Saint Seiya doujinshi (there's still some of it online, I think) and the fandom actually consolidated the use of the word 'yaoi' in the 80s. It also has only one instance of female fanservice in the entire thing (although this is not so in Next Dimension)-compared to the amount of times we see Shiryu shirtless and Saga naked...it's certainly one of the best examples of this trope. |
