L has the most unique character, personality and behavior of anyone I've ever seen. Believe it or not, my very first thought when I first saw him was "What the hell...??" L is a born genius who appears perhaps once every billion births, but he is a very sloppy genius with odd habits and the worst case of dark rings. He cannot stand nor sit up straight and has to put his legs up and slouch when sitting in order to think perfectly. He also has to take in loads of sugar to increase his brain activity, which explains why he's always drinking tea with lumbs and lumbs of sugar, and nibbling on strawberry cakes. L is only 18 and perhaps cos' he's still young, he hates to lose. He works as a lone investigator, whose level surpasses any existing police organization of today, for serious cases that can't seem be solved normally. L is highly confident of his analysis, and if somehow proven wrong, he will feel frustrated but continue to believe in himself. There's so much to L that to really understand him you have to read the manga. To me, L will always be the most unique character of any manga up to this date.

I don't know how many would agree with me but I think this is the most gorgeous guy manga character I've ever seen. Kasumi is one of the two main characters of this shorter other story in the manga "Inu Mo Arukeba Fallin' Love". As some may already can tell, he is the uke of the yaoi couple, and a man who will do anything to prove his faith and love. His only feminine side is being shy at times, but only towards the one he loves.

Sugiura is one of the funniest 'gay' characters I've ever known. He's not really gay but for some reason he is attracted to a fellow schoolmate, Yamada, and was very troubled about it for a while. To shake off his confusion he even went to the mountains to 'train', and with the help of a racoon he made friends with. Unfortunately, or not, for him, his training was in total vain when he realized his heart still wouldn't stop pounding whenever he sees Yamada. Finally figuring out that he likes him, he tries hard to show Yamada his feelings but his 'evil' sister will always be there to make things difficult. Silly, sweet and adorable, Sugiura deserves this award, and 3rd place in the category too.

As you can tell from his picture, Masa is no young man. He is in his early forties and he acts his age - mature and manly. Being a top ranking member of one of the biggest Yakuza groups in Osaka, Masa is very responsible and serious in his work, which often cause the young master, Sagano, to misunderstand certain things. Watching Masa and Sagano's progress in relationship gave me total tension. Their drama is full of emotions, whether hidden or outfront, and a lot has got to do with Masa's quiet nature, and his tendency to be 'formal' with the young master. He is also always cool, calm and collected, never getting angry or out of control, unless it has to do with Sagano's safety. Hereby, Masa is nomated the manliest of all men!

I have about 13 volumes of the Xmen comics by Jim Lee but sadly I've not read more than 3 volumes just cos'. However, I do know that Gambit is my favorite, next to wolverine. I mean, how much cooler can any other character in this series be? =P That soft brown hair, sexy red eyes and sloppy look, and then there's card throwing! Don't know much about his character, really, but hey, all I need to know now is: he's cool.

So here comes Venom... and he's an alien!!! Great, I love an alien! =P I know different Marvel artists draw him differently, but no matter what version he is, he still remains that highly distinguishable Venom and that's all I need. Big round eyes, two big rows of alien teeth, one long and drooly tongue, a mutated-like body, lunatic behavior... Everything roxx!! Okay, he may not be the one I'd like to kiss, but Venom's still as awesome!! =D
