Introduction
A magical boy means a boy who can use magic. When it is a moe point, it often appears in the worldview setting of the real world where the popularity of magic and other super powers is extremely low, and the magical boy can use magic and other super powers.
Most of the settings of magical boys are derived from magical girls, so they can be considered a derivative moe point. Most of the characteristic elements can be found in its articles.
At the beginning, because it was not popular among otaku, this attribute was usually accompanied by the setting of being a trap or a crossdresser before and after transformation. Most works that appeared with this kind of "magical boy" were also classified as "evil magical girl".
Later, with the popularity of works targeting women, magical boys who were similar in style to magical girls, but who were boys before and after the transformation and did not wear women's clothes, began to gain a certain popularity, and the Cute High Earth Defense Club series and Magical Girl Ore and other works featuring magical boys appeared.
In recent years, new works of magical girl animation have appeared in which the main character's team is not only composed of girls, but also boys such as Tsubasa Yuunagi in Hirogaru Sky! Pretty Cure. This is usually regarded as one of the attempts of classic series to break the convention.
Excluding the transformation element, there are also young male characters who can use magic in other ACGN works, such as Rinnosuke Morichika in Touhou Project, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter series, etc. Some may be classified as wizards because of similar settings.
In China's magical girl ACG works, magical boys actually appeared earlier and their images were more classic (rather than an attempt to break the convention), such as Noah and Haida from the Balala the Fairies series.
