Yeah, I watched Gintama and Golden Kamuy (which is a pretty good manga filled with handsome looking men)Elyon is the anime type of handsome guy, where they lean more beautiful than rugged. But he's still entirely recognizable as male. Like Sesshomaru or Sephiroth - pretty facial features and long hair, but mannerisms, body and personality don't lean femme. In comparison, the ones we label femboi usually have wide hips/thighs and "cute" facial features with (sometimes) a subby or more demure mannerisms.
This reminds me of Hijikata Toshizo (if anyone is familiar with the shinsengumi) he's always portrayed as a pretty boy but he has a really rough way of speaking and a "mean" personality to anyone who wasn't a family/friend.
I think when it comes to the usual anime art style, 2D androgynous features really fuck with me since ,when I say average, I am comparing it to real life guys. So average anime pretty boys still look somewhat girly to me. Also the line where we go from femboy to pretty boy is pretty slim. Guys like Griffith from berserk, Reinhardt from LoGH and Yuri/Victor from Yuri on Ice can go either way from where I am standing. Or link or cloud when it comes to video games. Different people perceive them with different body types and definitions.
Still, I can agree that some guys are more femboy than pretty boy. Which I personally do not mind as long as I they are treated like man. Like with Berwyn or Nikol. Obviously emphasized hips and light frames but when you talk to them they, to me, still feel like man. Still, can not lie, I wish that their in game busts had less defined hips. Not because it makes them look to girly but because they see silly.
And for Brint to gain some longer legs cause have you looked at his full bust? Our boy walks on his arms from the looks of it.
Toshi!!!Toshizo?
You dare mispell the mayo fetishist???
No one can smoke like this guy.

My man.
My man, nice reference. Never was the biggest fan of the movie but the three main leads are pretty.I would wager that Elyon is a pretty boy rather than average masculine. In a good way though, because you need that roguish pretty boy and is about as close as they've gotten to effeminate man rather than woman with a dick glued on. Average male looks I would say are like Miguel and Tulio from The Road to El Dorado.

They're relatively handsome and aren't overly muscular. Just two regular dudes who definitely were not gay in the original draft. (They were.)
And sidenote, I have nothing against futas or transwomen in this game. But calling one an effeminate man is a disservice imo
See my Kalisto reply for what you think of anime men but I just want to praise your impeccable taste in guys.I do consider Elyon average masculine, yes - base-level masculine. He is a pretty boy, but still manly enough in looks and behaviour/manner that he fits the bill. Behaviour definitely counts for something, but again, you can create some really interesting characters by mixing it up a bit.
This kind of goes against what I've already said, but I would be interested in going for a guy that was pretty (even prettier than Elyon) if he had a completely contrary personality and breaks the stereotype. For example, rough-as-guts language, from-the-streets kind of guy, etc. That would be seriously interesting/intriguing to explore, especially for a long-term companion.
Or in reverse to that, the sort of characters you get in some Bara games that look like they could squash you like a fly, but are totally gentle and sweet, quick to blush, kind soul, etc. One of those would also be fun to add to the mix.
And yeah, Bara dude that looks like he can split you in half, (and he can) but is in the fact the sweetest gentle giant. One that blushes when you hug him in public and screams your name when you ride him/pound him in bed. It feels nice that I am not only one in big yet calm/subby men.
Fuck yes would I like a damaged and bruised pretty boy who swears like a sailor. Someone who pushes you away at first but slowly opens up once you get close to him. Someone with rough upbringing and anger at the system around him... Damn, I just describe Nakano, didn't I? Well, time to plan out my own.
