and that is why i don't read shoujo
But you know, after having switched from shoujo to BL, I've found that the bishounens are so much greater in number and variety in BL (for obvious reasons). Like if you found a hot guy in shoujo, you'll find ten in BL - and some of them better drawn. And I've never come across one male character in shoujo that is the equivalent to some of the most popular seme characters in BL (aka Asami).
Not sure if you're replying to me, but I mean, isn't that a given though? No reverse harem I've ever read in shoujo has ever had an "unattractive" member. IMO, shoujo is limited in its type of male characters because they typically take place in a high school setting and therefore it's limited to HS boys and the occasional teacher romance. I'm not saying BL doesn't have its fair share of tropes and character types, but you venture into so many more different settings with characters ranging in a spectrum from the youthful (and by this I don't mean shota), to the middle aged, to your oyaji types. You can find manga that are similar tonally to shoujo, josei, and occasionally seinen. Shoujo doesn't have that variety, which is why it got stale for me, and there was nothing shoujo had that I couldn't find in BL (plus the sex, of course).
That moment when you see a good looking guy but he is in shoujo manga and not in yaoi manga
Me : "Why he can't be in relationship with another man? Damn!" *disappointed*
