Oh wow, bishounen guys. Yes, it's common; to what extent varies with the author. It would not be entirely inaccurate to sum it up by saying "Japanese girls like to look at pretty boys", although there's more to it than that.

Please, not more: I'm getting too much Japanese in my head as it is, and it's muddling. :(
I have no opinions on this as yet, I'm just intrigued, and a little puzzled, by it.
If you want to understand that you're going to have to watch a lot more anime.
