Why girls like Eyeshield 21!!
I found this on the Fetish Fuel Wiki, it is an excellent essay on 'Why girls like Eyeshield 21', and what it says about Hiruma and Mamori is spot on!!
Eyeshield21 provides a fair amount of fetish fuel.
Simply the standard football uniforms would be enough to be fetish for many people, between the tight pants and the loaded concept of football and football players in America.
Ditto the above for the series' cheerleaders.
And speaking of cheerleaders - if the busty sort isn't your bag of tea, the show also gives us Suzuna.
If you're a chubby chaser, then Kurita - large, powerful, yet sweet-natured - will be very relevant to your interests.
And for the discerning reader interested in very buff men, this show is a goldmine and Gaoh is a dream come true.
The fact that the series shows off every type of male body possible and the very distinctive faces dives the series quite a lot variety in the fetish fuel department. Whether it's cute shotaro boys, waif-ish bishonen, or outright buff GAR types, the series knows how to appeal to a female audience. The series also has no problem showing male characters in various states of undress, whether it's necessary or not.
And the ridiculous amount of detail the artist spends on every little muscle in the male body. As well as ass shots. And crotch shots. Oh lord, the crotch shots. Really, this series is like a Panty Fighterfor women at times.
Hiruma very much enjoys using a combination of blackmail, favors, threats, and manipulation to make people his slaves - and yes, he does refer to them like that. If you don't think that that's fuel for the BDSM crowd, not even a remedial course in the Rules of the Internet could save you.
He waves that gun around a lot too. Hell, even his... unique... character design, the ears, the fangs, the really long, tapered fingers (not claws like in the anime) and the many panels where he's just about to put that stick of gum in his mouth...
just... every single male character and many females. One can't help but wonder if each character was meant to appeal to a different fetish. First lets start with the Devilbats...
Sena: Adorkable, cute shotaro boy, cowardly lion and has AMAZING legs.
Monta: Dedicated, loyal, hot blooded monkey-boy who's VERY good with his feet.
Hiruma: Lanky, punkish, pierced, bishonen, VERY long, creamy skin, sharp features, sharp teeth, fangs, elf-like ears, agile fingers, mischievous, ultra-intellegent, sadistic, makes people his "slaves", and has no problem stripping people and taking pictures.
Kurita: Innocent, cute, appeals to fat and inflation fetishists, a very lovable gentle giant, a total badass on the field, and a lover of hugs.
Ha-Ha Brothers: Three fun-loving bad boys who do EVERYTHING together. Individually, Juumonji is intelligent, ruggedly handsome, and a has a cool scar, Kuroki is hotblooded, has full lips, silky hair, and long eyelashes, and Toganou is a ladiback artist with angular features, cool shades, and nice cheek bones.
Taki: Flexible, bold, classically handsome, tall, silky hair, and a tendency to rip open his shirt.
As for the female characters, there's Mamori: tall, slim, busty, long-legged, blue-eyed half-American with a sweet and motherly yet fiercely protective, tough and dedicated personality. Plus her love-hate relationship with Hiruma is a huge bonus. Energetic, petite and small-chested Suzuna and her relationship with Sena is also very loveable.
Please go read the whole article (the link is above), it is the perfect reading for anyone who ships virtually every fandom and kink going!! Plus I almost peed myself laughing at a couple of comments... XD
