This might be me not reading enough shoujo, but this seems less tsundere and more that one cold asshole.

He only acts aggressive and mean while secretly holding feelings for the female lead, which I would say fits "tsundere" better than, say, Waver Velvet (wtf).

I consider myself a male tsundere connoisseur. Cannot get enough.

>>155592930
>>155592470
They both don't really seem like a "tsundere". If anything, they seem incredibly assertive and very obviously interested in the female lead. It's an archetype shoujo is basically riddled with, and I wouldn't call it tsundere.

What makes a male tsundere then? Someone who acts hostile but only shows his feelings away from the camera? To be its someone who is outwardly cold or angry but inwardly loving.

>>155592007
No.

Male tsundere seem fairly common in female oriented media though, so they probably appeal to women more than men.

And yeah, I mean they are riddled with shoujo (even then not enough...) but only because male tsundere are consistently the hottest and most popular characters. Best of both worlds with the aggressive outer qualities (tsun) and the warm fuzzy inner qualities (dere). Of course thats my 2c.

>>155593213
>To be its someone who is outwardly cold or angry but inwardly loving.
That's just a jerk with a heart of gold. I'd say actual tsunderes don't realise they actually harbour feelings of love until their cognitive dissonance forces them to face the facts. This usually results in them turning shy instead of hostile.

Also, if they're just acting cold and then gradually warm up, isn't that a kuudere?

Same as its always meant. They start off cold/hostile and start to warm up. Or...

>a girl or a guy who has a combative attitude toward others but is also kind on the inside.
Someone who acts like an asshole or combatative but is secretly quite loving.

No that's a tsundere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundere

"Jerk with a heart of gold" is a pseudo-western equivalent. Kuudere is a bullshit spinoff of tsundere, where instead of being cold they are cool, like Yuki from Suzumiya Haruhi.

Tsunderes may start off genuinely hateful and then become sweeter or they might have been sweet from day one, but they use their tsun side as a defense mechanism.

Irie and Domyouji I think are the two most classical pillars of male tsundere-dom.

I'm not sure if they count as tsundere, but I love this type. It feels so good when they show their caring feelings that they have hidden deep down inside.

>>155593550
So every delinquent ever in anime and manga is tsundere? Every villain that have ever changed of sides is tsundere? Every character with a little of personality is a tsundere? Every character that have ever changed his mind about something is tsundere? Sasuke was the best tsundere ever? I'm sorry if I don't care about your wiki entry but I just will call bullshit and move on with my life.

Don't hate me for defining words. This is the original definition of tsundere. I don't know what you are on about, you can have a personality without acting hostile on the outside/loving on the inside (or going from hostile-->loving over the course of a series).

That said, Vegeta is a total tsundere and in fact was voted #1 male tsundere in Japan. lol.

But they're so frequent that it's almost expected, right next to the prince type.

The true patrician taste is the girly boy. Not a trap, but that one boy who can get along with the girls.

Its expected because it works. When I crack open a romance manga I want to see a hot guy with a sexy personality. I don't want "the unexpected".

That said Mikorin is adorable. He's just not a solid romantic lead, imho, which is why he's virginzoned in the first place. He kind of is supposed to be like a female tsundere in his personality, iirc. Hori has more of the male tsundere personality type but he's a manlet so whatever.

>>155594835
The series felt slow definitely, but Takeo was cute. Sure he didn't have a regular personality caused any long lasting conflict, but he was a bro, a gentleman, and thickly built and muscular which I was sorely missing from shoujo male leads.

>>155595060
I get what you're saying. Unexpected only works when they have a solid idea going for it. Otherwise it's just novelty for the sake of it.

I feel like it's because that archetype is kind of the default "not perfect" boy; the easiest way to show that the male lead doesn't fit into the typing of what a lover "ought" to be, but lovable enough that you don't hate him at the end of it. The handsome troubled bad boy-lite.

But I can't stand it. It's a winning archetype, but it feels like it's going stale.
