Why do a lot of anime/manga male characters look so girly and feminine? It kinda annoys me because to me male characters are suppose to act and look like a manly. There are some manga that have both a lot of manly men and then out of the blue you get a character that you have to question their gender for a second when they are introduced. I don't get it, is there some reason for this?

Naruto is the most manliest man alive. You should stop watching ladies like Sasuke.

Because people are different and there is no need to get stuck with gender stereotypes.

Do men we see always and 100% "manly"? No they are different than each other.

Btw what is even manly and girly to begin with...they are people with different characteristics and gender stereotypes only refrain people from being themselves.

It's the way japanese people like their heroes to look. Americans love seing masculine man in tights Lol. Japanese love seing feminine man. Look at their popstars and some asian dudes, they look way more feminine than most other men in other countrys. Another reason could be that especially those kinda guys just appeal to a lot of people. I myself dislike overly manly looking man in fiction.

He's got all the chicks in the village going for him. Other than being a hobo Sasuke's got nothing on him.

That's why every chick gets wet when they see Lord Sasuke :leaf:

1. Art style. Many men in Western cartoons aren't exactly "manly" due to style as well.

2. Japanese men often have, um, rather soft features compared to, say, European ones. So it likely influences the art style.

3. Why not? There are plenty of "manly" men in the manga, too.

The reason is everyone looks and acts different. It's a way of life. The characteristics of a man aren't just based on looks.
