[...] the least popular character on the show (4h wall broken!) etc. Also I guess he’s kinda oranyan since he’s quick to anger, but has a very soft side to him [...]

In 3 demension, oranyan is accepted by girls…
As far as I know, there seemed to be quite a few manga where the characters are oranyan like Slam dunk, Rokudenashi Blues, Saigake Otokojuku, Shounan Jun-ai gumi, Yu-Yu Hakusho or GTO Particulary, Sakuragi Hanamichi is oranyan while Rukawa Kaede is tsundere. Oops, come to think of it, it was my first time seeing an oranyan and a male tsundere exist together. lol

Two examples immediately popped into my mind when I read this post. First was from anime Itazura na Kiss, Kin-chan, who is a wanna-be badboy but a total softy infront of his not-so-secret crush. Second are the boys from Crows Zero, starring Oguri Shun.

Personally, i think every girl i know has confessed to liking Oranyan type guys. It’s the bad boy vibes that we simply cannot resist!

I know some oranyan boys who happen to be shota-looking. I guess shota-looking and oranyan could bring about a nice chemistry. lol

Like Yoshitaka, for any women who are elder than him, this type of bishounen might look cute even though he is not polite.

Yes, in RL this is a kind of typcial and stereotyped. Maybe in shounen manga, there could be more oranyan guys. Ah now, the popular drama series, Gokusen is on the air. I haven’t seen the latest series yet, but I think there would be a lot of oranyan guys.^^

I don’t think Wabi Sabi is willing to cosplay, but I must say she is the original Suzumiya Haruhi, yes. ^^

Hm, I think that kind of guy is stereotypikal in standard shoujo manga? this kind of “tsundere boy” personality is not a new thing for me, though I finally know the word for it now ^^ Yea, I didn’t like this archetype character too (thats why I hate lame shoujo manga). But it seems that girls love this “look bad but actually good guy” type of character. They are so popular even in RL.

Oh wow, I didn’t know that WabiSabi into Suzumiya Haruhi that much. Not to offend but her blog is full of serious thing (in a positive way of course)

Actually the owner of Iwa ni Hana ~~who insists she is the orginal Suzumiya Haruhi~~ pulled me out of the closet and made me admit I am an otomen. lol
Well, now that I came out, I can be relax. www Too bad, I have not seen any other otomens on this blog so far…maybe they are hiding.

I don’t mean to offend Korean men, but most of Korean guys I have ever seen are this type of man. I know I shouldn’t have prejudice, though.

Bangin-san you are really proud to say that you are an otomen. I just read a post from Iwa ni Hana that mentions that you are among a few that mentions they are otomen and you nonchalantly affirm it again. Talk about coincidences.

Informative post and I got to say yes I had a similar experience with an oranyan korean. He did not come off as rude or anything. He was just too friendly and noisy. But when the girl he likes is around he acts sweet and cool for the girl. Hehehee
