L (Death Note)

He's not a prettyboy like Light, But L is quick to draw us in with his mysterious, genius-detective persona. The strange way he sits, his constant junk food munching and his fondness for stacking things all add to L's intriguing quirkiness. In his white shirt and jeans, it's obvious he doesn't care what he's wearing. But then again, who does?


Yomiko Readman (Read or Die)

Read or Die's Yomiko is turning more than pages. Though she's fully clothed and even refuses to take off her glasses, her bibliomania and unkempt hair are more than enough to keep our nerdy attention. What could be more attractive than a heroine who takes on dangerous missions to save books for the British Library?
