Sexy Men in Manga: Raikou Shimizu

[gommyommy]

Raikou Shimizu from Nabari No Ou is the classic pretty boy, but he’s not just standing around looking fey with his pink hair, he’s rocking the house with his sword and his personality. Like his sister Raimei, he has strong beliefs and backs them up with action. He’s a lousy driver and a bit of a sadist, but you can’t help but side with this not-so-bad guy after getting to know him.

 

Read the manga and you, too, can enjoy:

-his absolutely nutso fashion sense and girlish face

-his black-suited glasses-wearing costume (late in the story)

-his love of Gau, his helpmate. And hey, Gau clearly loves him back; can you say fanservice?

-his amazing sword skills

-the way he suffers in silence for other people’s sake

 

True men of honor are willing to switch their allegiances when they follow their heart, and Raikou is one of those kinda guyz.  Oh and Raikou has been my Avatar here for a while, but that might change soon, so here's the Avatar, for the fun of it (colored by me with my circa 1997 colorizing skills!):
