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.
I might be in the minority thinking Inasa’s pretty hot, but open your mind to the concept of a ninja in a wheelchair, and I think you’ll agree there’s a lot of intrigue in this guy. He shows up late in Nabari No Ou, but like Shijima he’s actually a character who you’ve met before in a different form.

Kazuhiko Yukimi from Nabari No Ou is the classic tough-but-tender dude. Lighthearted, but serious when necessary, he’s one of the more realistic personalities in a story fully of unbelievable wackiness. While his cohorts are using fantastic ninja powers and samurai swords, he’s there with his trusty gun…’cause this is the modern age, he says.
Angst-ridden Tobari of Nabari No Ou is a middle-school English teacher who also happens to be a ninja in his spare time. He has vowed to protect his student, Miharu Rokujou, from the dangers of using the Shinra Bansho secret ninja art. But just what is he really protecting? He’s a man with a secret; possibly a whole raft of secrets, that he absolutely doesn’t want to reveal to anyone.

Gilbert Nightray of Pandora Hearts is everything you expect from stereotypical Sexy, except for his true personality, which belies the façade he projects. “Useless” and unable to act on his desires in the vast majority of situations, he does manage to come through when it really matters.
In this picture from Jun Mochizuki’s art book Pandora Hearts: Odds and Ends, we see Gil lying down with his shirt open, hand in his hair (another headache, Gil?) and a feminine gloved hand on his tie. We have to wonder who that hand belongs to, because it seems to me that Gil only has eyes for Oz (am I the only one who wonders why his wallet chain is on the left side and not the right? Don't know what I'm talking about? Cue hanky code). Meanwhile, the symbol of Raven is scattered about the floor as black feathers.
If you’ve read the first couple of volumes of 07-Ghost, you know that there are these bishops that figure prominently in the story. My personal favorite of the bishops is loli-shota Labrador (aka Iluysha). Now most people might think “sexy loli-shota” is an oxymoron, but I’m here to tell you that a man who fights with flowers is seriously smexy in my book.
This image is from episode 16 of the anime, which I highly recommend watching. It doesn’t stray from the manga in a crazy way just to wrap up the season, unlike some anime that will remain unnamed.

Let’s look at this picture, from Jun Mochizuki’s art book Pandora Hearts: Odds and Ends. Compare how Vincent is holding his hand out, with how Jack Vessalius (featured here recently) holds his hand out. Jack is saying “come hither” while Vincent is saying “I put a spell on you, sucka.” By his look and his pose, you know Vincent is going to try to mess with you. Maybe he’ll cut your freakin’ head off like he did that stuffed pink bunny rabbit you see at his feet. But you know he’ll do it with a smile, ‘cause that’s the kind of guy he is.
