Hmm... Maybe all the superhero anime boys are secretly huge dicks
Or maybe they want a partner who's relatively stable, considering they have to deal with all kinds of magical nonsense in their work lives

Must be from the chick on the far right.

Because we all know that robots are fantastic at irony, right?

The truth speaks for itself.... Wow... I knew there was something wrong with Anime characters relationship... Not all of them... but still...

I just want a boy of average intelligence, looks, and personality, i.e., so fucking boring I'd shoot myself.

It's funny because it's every anime ever! XD

No love for those 'bloodboiled/emo af boys doe? XD

You and me both. Well, any guy would be nice.

Personally, I'd go for an unconventionally cute yet nice guy-kinda like Rock Lee. (If my icon wasn't already indication enough.)
Some shounen protagonists are just so bland and cliche...Not that that's always a bad thing, but still, they aren't as interesting.

The truth can be so.........

Oh. I'd been waiting for this to go onto Deviant Art because I was hoping you'd add more explanation in the description... but ya din't.Β I recognise the stereotypes of chibi catgirl, angel/goddess and robot girl here, but what's the first girl meant to be? Elf? Vampire? Werewolf? Alien?
I recognise the trope though -- alien/magical/supernatural/part-animal/robot/whatever girl falls for normal/nerdy/dorky/insecure but overall kindly boy who normally has terrible luck in a kind of wish fulfilment fantasy of boys who read those kinds of comics or watch those kinds of shows. Occasionally she'll even be fighting for his attention against other love interests (that's the part that's hardest to believe, ha).
Funny how there's not really any female role reversal of these, with normal girls and magical puppy boys or djinns or angel boys or something.

If you play the game Dandelion there is

The closest I can think of is Ouran High School Host Club, but that didn't have any magical boys.

Does Inyuasha not count?
π: 0 β©: 1
Probably, I just mean there seems to be far more normal-guy-with-magical-girlfriend(s) in manga than the other way around, but at least there are a few reversals of the trope.

DN Angel kinda has two boys fight over the a girl.
π: 0 β©: 2
Still, seems like there's more of one than the other.
π: 0 β©: 0
I feel like that's more one and a half guys fighting over two girls when they only want one.
π: 0 β©: 1
That is why I said kinda. In other words not meaning exactly the same, but close enough.

A manga named Meteor Prince has a shapeshifting alien boy fall for a normal girl, does that count?
π: 0 β©: 1
Totally counts, glad there's at least some.

Well, there was Twilight...

Haha, good point, but I meant more in the case of Japanese media it seems a bit one sided. Also, there's a lot of catgirls and no catboys, even when they're a species, how's that even work?

> I knew I was having bad luck with the ladies.

That's the one thing that often bothers me about anime. All the girls go crazy for the bland, generic anime loser guy, SPECIALLY those with superhuman powers.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, indeed... what if he were NOT that bland nor generic? I'm actually thinking on that idea a bit.
π: 0 β©: 0
..... The robot girl's really cute. >///>

What if all of them wanted the same guy at once?Β Especially if they're all living together.Β He'd hate that.Β And when he falls on top of them in a suggestive position - how awkward and not at all intended by anyone involved!
Anime, I love you, but sometimes...

This sounds like the beginning of a great anime sitcom.

That sounds like the beginning of every anime sitcom lol. There's a LOT of 'harem' anime where one boy lives/interacts with a number of girls on a regular basis. Negima, Tenchi Muyo, Evangelion, to name a few in different genres. Vampire Knight, Pretear, and Wall Flower would be considered a 'reverse harem' anime with a single girl and a bunch of gorgeous boys fawning over her. And same sex harems are even harder to find.

Keitaro, Ranma, Tenchi... I think Shinji in some sense... and that guy from El Hazard.Β And probably a bunch of others.Β Oh, anime, you and your tropes.
π: 0 β©: 2
Haha, it did happen to Ranma and Tenchi a bit. Β For me though, the ones that always pop to mind the strongest for this are pretty much anything by Ken Akamatsu, and Keitaro took the cake. Β That poor boy finds himself in that situation /so/ many times, and has so many different girls to work about. (And thank you. Β Been a while since I've read Love Hina, so I was pretty sure I'd messed up Kei's name)

Don't forget Keiichi from Ah! Megami-sama

sometimes i think that they should aim for any john doe instead of the main protagonist... he will end up with just one... prolly the one that makes every fan angry...woman... they should be better aiming for the regular guy who just goes and lives every day as they come.
π: 0 β©: 1
there are a lot of john doe main protagonists though. Β they're easier to identify with

So are the characters the following: Cutie Honey from Cutey Honey, Mini Sailor Moon from Sailor Moon, Belldandy from Ah My Goddess and Dorothy from The Big O.Β
