Now that you mention it, I can see what you're talking about. Yes, sure, Japanese women seem to idolize the 'Dazzling Prince' stereotype. Maybe that's why they make the male leads in their works 'blonde, dazzling, handsome, perfect in any way'. The trope became popular again after isekai genre rose in fame(Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami, and maybe Lady Rose). But no, most shoujo are not like that. The most well-known shoujo have blonde male leads, so I can see where you're coming from. Most of the shoujo manga I've read actually have black haired male leads(Ao Haru Ride; Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare; Futsuu no Koiko-san, etc.). Maybe you should give it a chance? So the point is: most female authors prefer the Dazzling Prince trope. ._.
