Kotoishi Naru keeps on calling the main character a Junon Boy. He seems to
take this as insulting.

What is a Junon Boy and why does he dislike being called that?

What is a Junon Boy?


> Junon is a monthly Japanese fashion magazine primarily directed towards
> teenage girls and women. It began circulation in June 1973.

Given Junon super boy contest is a beauty contest I would guess, "Junon Boy"
basically means "pretty boy".

The magazine hope page can be found at: <http://www.junon-boy.jp/>

I am basing my answer on research so perhaps some one else can confirm this,
also I could not find any information of the meaning of maganize name alone,
so again I am basing on the circumstances.
