15 Best Anime with Good Looking Guys (2023)

One of anime’s highlights has to be all the good looking guys. Many anime contain at least one male character so handsome that we all end up swooning. And that’s why we’ll be talking about the 15 best anime with good looking guys.

For this list, we’ll be considering those anime which have an ensemble cast of good looking guys, and not just one incredibly hot guy in an otherwise average or female-populated cast.

So, even though Usui comes to mind when thinking about handsome anime boys, Maid Sama! won’t appear in this list. And we must also add that the entries on this list are placed in no specific order.

So, without further ado, let’s begin the list of the 15 best anime with good looking guys.

15 Best Anime with Good Looking Guys

1) Free! – Iwatobi Swim Club

Free! is a popular sports anime focusing on swimming. The story follows the protagonist, Haruka Nanase or Haru, and his friends at Iwatobi Swim Club as well as his old friend and rival, Rin Matsuoka.

This anime from Kyoto Animation features gorgeous boys with killer bodies. As they swim gracefully through the gleaming water, we can’t help but stare.

2) Yona of the Dawn

An amazing and underrated anime, Yona of the Dawn shows innocent and pampered princess Yona’s life falling apart one night when the guy she loves betrays her father and kills him. Yona sets out with her childhood friend Hak to find the Four Dragons to save her kingdom.

This anime is yet to get a second season and we’re all waiting, not just for the story but also for the good looking guys.

3) IDOLiSH7

IDOLiSH7 is a game made into an anime, but unlike other such anime, this one has a great cast and a corrigible storyline that makes it a fan-favorite.

Not only that, the seven main characters are all new idols, and thus, needless to say, very handsome. Many fans just tune in with the series just for the boys, and honestly, we can’t blame them.

4) Given

BL anime often gets a stereotype attached to it which Given breaks wonderfully with its powerful and emotional story. It’s a story about Mafuyu, a teenager dealing with the suicide of his boyfriend, and his journey of love and healing through music.

All four main characters of this anime are gorgeous, and the side characters aren’t far behind. From dashing Hiiragi to the beautiful Ugetsu, it has it all.

5) Jujutsu Kaisen

Mainstream action anime contain a huge number of characters, many of whom are good looking. But the number of such anime are so many that we’ve excluded them from the list.

Jujutsu Kaisen, however, snatches this spot with drop-dead gorgeous characters Gojo, Sukuna, Geto, Nanami and many more. With an amazing story and brilliant action, this is one of the best anime with good looking guys.

6) Uta no Prince Sama

Uta no Prince Sama is another anime focusing on idols, but unlike IDOLiSH7, this anime is taken from a light novel. Like other idol anime, it too has a large cast of handsome boys.

There’s also a heroine in this anime, Haruka Nanami, who begins the story by enrolling in the performing arts school Saotome Academy.

7) Fruits Basket

Though shoujo anime tend to be sweet and romantic, Fruits Basket becomes one of a kind with its unique and touching story, and characters who are both fleshed out and relatable. Their looks certainly don’t hurt either. 

This anime has very handsome guys in not only its main characters, but even other characters like Hatori, Ayame, Katsuya, Hatsuharu, Momiji and Kureno catch our eyes with their brilliant looks.

8) Diabolik Lovers

Diabolik Lovers has a paper thin plot and dull protagonist, but to make up for that, it has some truly stunning male characters.

The story starts with Yui coming to live with the Sakamaki brothers, not knowing that they are vampires. But even after learning their nature and being forcefully bitten by them, the girl sticks around for some reason.

9) Karneval

Karneval has a great cast of voice actors but its plot and execution have caused most fans to overlook it. But what it is remembered for is its handsome male characters.

From the cool Gareki to the cute Nai to the charming Yogi, it has every kind to offer the fans. As we join Gareki and Nai and his friends in Circus, we can’t help but sigh at their attractiveness.

10) Yuri!!! On Ice

Yuri!!! On Ice became an internet sensation when it was released in 2016 because of its healthy LGBTQ+ representation, smooth animation, and last but not the least, hot guys.

Characters like Viktor, Yuri, Yurio, Otabek, Chris are some of the most handsome anime guys. This figure-skating anime is, thus, obviously among the best anime with good looking guys.

11) Vampire Knight

Vampire Knight features one of anime’s most iconic love triangles among its main characters: Yuki, Zero and Kaname. Yuki is the heroine of the story; a human who is a student of the Day Class of Cross Academy with her mysterious classmate Zero Kiryuu. She soon finds out that the Night Class, led by Kaname Kuran, actually consists of vampires.

12) Haikyuu!!

One of the best and most popular sports anime of all time, Haikyuu!! is an amazing series focusing on indoor volleyball. We go along with the main characters, Hinata and Kageyama, as they hone their skill with their Karasuno teammates.

Filled with characters who are as well-written as they are gorgeous, Haikyuu!! takes its rightful place among the best anime with good looking guys.

13) Ouran High School Host Club

We had to include Ouran High School Host Club in this list of the best anime with good looking guys because the series was written to be just that. It’s a parody of the shoujo genre and its main cast features boys with stunning looks and popular tropes. From the princely character to the silent type, Ouran High has all kinds of handsome boys.

14) Tokyo Ghoul

Tokyo Ghoul might be a skin-crawling horror anime, but it has its fair share of hot guys. From the tragic but beautiful Kaneki to the uber cool tattooist Uta, this anime will give you plenty of anime guys to crush on. 

The series is about a cannibalistic race of humans, known as Ghouls, and how Kaneki finds himself thrust into this cruel world by an unfortunate incident.

15) Tsurune: Kazemai High School Kyudo Club

Tsurune is another great sports anime that should also be counted as one of the best anime with good looking guys. The sport this anime focuses on is kyudo or modern archery.

Like the beautiful name of the series, the boys of this anime are extremely attractive. Characters like Masaki, Shuu, Kaito make this a perfect anime for those looking for handsome anime guys.

With this, we conclude our list of the 15 best anime with good looking guys. As we see in the list, sports anime have quite a lot of handsome boys to feature, and so do the idol anime and the shoujo anime.

So, if you’re on a hunt for an anime with attractive boys, you might want to check out one from those genres. If looking for more, come visit Otakus’ Notes to get some helpful suggestions.
