Castle Triton's

1999 Bishonen Harem


*fanfare of trumpets* All right! Welcome, all, to the First Edition of Castle Triton's Bishonen Harem! I'm your Hostess, Sailor Triton.

And I am your Co-Hostess, Sailor Charon.

And we were the ones responsible for sending out the invitations to this year's spotlights. I'm Sailor Miranda--

--And I'm Sailor Titan. Pleased to meet everyone.

All right! Getting down to business, I'd like to introduce 1999's Mr. January-- Tokiya Mikagami, from Flame of Recca!

Ah, yes. Mi-chan! His Elemental Weapon, the Ensui, definitely contributes to his kakkoi rating. It is a sword with a blade of water, giving him powers over ice, water, and steam! With it, he helps Recca and his friends in their terrible fight in the Ura Butou Satsujin.

But don't forget, Charon-chan, he wasn't doing it to help Recca or anyone in particular. He wanted to find his sister's murderer and avenge her death.

Nothing like a bit of a tragic past to contribute to his kakkoi rating, ne?

Please give a warm welcome to Mr. February, 1999-- Ayanoujo Aburatsubo, from Mahou Tsukai Tai!

He's the vice-prez of the Magic Club at Kitanohashi High. He's a star athlete. He's a great student. And since Takeo-kun just isn't interested in returning his advances, I believe he's perfectly available.

*waving hand excitedly* Aburatsubo-chan! I'm in desperate need of a tutor...

Don't dedicate yourself just yet, Triton-chan. It's only February, after all... and you might prefer to target someone who's more interested in women.

Drat!

A warm round of applause for Kenshin! Yes, our cheery, lovable Himura Kenshin is Mr. March 1999!

Wait a minute... I thought he was a bloodthirsty assassin.... He didn't seem very cheerful to me...

Baka! This is the TV Kenshin we're talking about... I have it on very good source that the OAV Kenshin will make it next year.

Yes... the same guy can't hold two titles in the same year, no matter how much time difference there is between the personalities.

It's the rule.

All right, then. Kenshin can make rice balls that look like bunny rabbits, do laundry, cook like a master chef... and he's a master swordsman to boot.

Don't forget about the tragic past!

April already? Well! I'd like to introduce everyone to Allen Shezar, of Vision of Escaflowne fame!

He's a knight!

He's debonair and very popular with the ladies.

He's a knight!

He, like our Mr. March, is also a master heartbreaker and a master swordsman.

Because he's a knight! Erm, the swordsman part.

And he even has a tragic past, too!

That's right... his sister was kidnapped when he was young! And his son doesn't know that Allen is his true father, either. I guess that can be two tragic pasts!

We seem to be having a pattern... like our two previous Honorees, Mr. May is a master swordsman. Everyone, please applaud Ferio, from Magic Knight Rayearth!

And he seems to be quite taken by Fuu, so he's out of your league, Triton-chan.

Ah, but being attached doesn't exclude them from being honored!

We can honor whoever we like.

We just have to be extra-careful when they have jealous or possessive significant others.

Fortunately, Fuu-chan seems to be pretty levelheaded. Whew!

Safe for another month!

Hey... there seems to be a mistake here. You've acquired Koganei Kaoru, from Flame of Recca, into your 1999 Harem.

Um, no mistake! Kaoru-chan is Mr. June! We met his friend, Mi-chan, in January.

Erm... I hate to tell you this, Triton, but he's only what... 13? Kind of young for you...

*pout* I know... I'm honoring him primarily for asthetic value. Not to mention, unlike a lot of beautiful guys, he has a pretty great mind. Have you seen him with that Kougan Anki?

The rules say Bishonen is Bishonen, regardless of age.

And in some cases, youth can increase the Kakkoi Factor.

Well, erm, since it's all right with the judges, let's give Mr. June a big round of applause!

And now for someone completely different... we have Mr. July-- the Male Maze!

Yes! We had to hold this awards ceremony at nighttime, just so he could show up.

Heheh. Lots of anime guys out there aren't interested in women... but how many anime guys out there are women?

Fortunately, it's not all the time... just sometime. Otherwise, we'd have to be honoring bishoujou-ness!

To be perfectly honest... I kinda prefer the Male Maze to the Female One.

I should certainly hope so! Ahem!

Erm.... next!

Now the spotlight turns upon Mr. August... Xellos of Slayers!

A mysterious priest-- who refers to himself as such.

Even though you can't really count on him to do anything... he's never really on the Good Side or the Bad Side. He's merely on Xellos' Side.

I want to join Xellos' Side... is he recruiting?

 

Mr. September, 1999, is... Saitou! Of Ruroni Kenshin fame!

Unlike Mr. August, our Saitou is most definitely on the side of Law and Order. Although it's his own peculiar brand of it. What's his motto?

Aku! Soku! Zan! Which means... Evil! Swiftly! Slay!

He was formerly a captain of the Shinsen Gumi. His justice is swift and terrible! But he looks good while meting it out, ne?

October is the month with Halloween... so what's more appropriate than having a vampire be Mr. October?

I'd like everyone to give a warm, happy welcome to Mosquiton, of the Master of Mosquiton OAV!

Um... Triton-chan, I believe this one is attached to a rabid sweetie... I don't suggest you mess with Inaho. Any of them.

Ahhh... *pouts* Mosquiton is a lovable teddy bear of a vampire... he cooks, he cleans, he cuts Inaho's toenails! But once he tastes blood... look out!

Yes! He turns into a pretty rough guy... *_*

Er, Charon-chan... remember Inaho...

And for Mr. November, 1999, we have Cardcaptor Sakura's very own TsukishiroYukito!

Let's see... what is there to say about Yukito? He can eat!

And he's cute...

He can eat a lot!

And he's cute...

How does he keep his figure?

And to wrap it all up, for December, we would like to honor Marron Glace!

Yes, you've seen him work his magic in Bakuretsu Hunters... but it's nothing like seeing him in person!

Who would think that he was Carrot's younger brother?

I wish Chocolate and Tira would hook up with him... either one of them would make a better couple than they would with Carrot.

But as long as they don't, he's free, h'm?

And we don't have to worry about getting stomped on!

Er... what about Gateau? *sweatdrop*

I can handle him... it's just Chocolate and Tira I'm worried about.

Well! That's it for this year!

Come back to visit us in January... then you'll get to see Castle Triton's 2000 Bishonen Harem on display!

What will happen to the lovely men we have here now? If you don't want 'em, I'll take 'em over to Castle Charon.

The rules state that they will remain on exhibit. Don't worry.

Rats... Are you sure we can't keep any souveniers, Titan-chan?

No, the rules specifically state... Miranda-chan! You're not going to fool anyone by penciling in the margins of the rule-book!

Oh... you noticed. Ahem. Well! Thanks for stopping by!
