Good idea, but they've left out the all important:

- Alien girls
- Supernatural beings
- Teenage mecha pilots
- Yakuza

Still, points for effort!

Well, depending on a certain viewpoint, alien girls can be seen as a subset of school girls (as many of them do go to school) and teenage mecha pilots fit in the Bishounen category pretty much 1 to 1 from what I've seen so not as much was left out as you might think.

It didn't say who put it together, but I thought it was funny enough to share.

Absolutely!

Somewhere I saw a venn diagram with "schoolgirls" as the center, and "alien", "supernatural", "robot", "ninja", and "mecha pilot" as overlapping circles. The shows that fit in those overlaps are pretty funny -- A-ko, Devil Hunter Yohko, Nuku-nuku, etc....and of course there are plenty of girl mecha pilots!

There are also overlaps for teenage boys -- plenty are NOT bishonen (Gundam Wing aside): hapless otaku, heir to evil empire, etc.
