Examples

[edit] Anime and Manga

  • .Hack//SIGN features canon LesYay between Subaru and Tsukasa.
  • Ah My Goddess:
    • Tamiya and Otaki seem a bit... close at times (although they're both interested in Chihiro). Also there was that moment in the dream castle arc where they crush Keiichi against their chests. (While under a spell, but still).
    • This is played with occasionally in the later manga, typically in a Not What It Looks Like context; for instance, Urd pressing her open mouth to Belldandy's ... to suck out an "Ahem Bug" causing laryngitis. (The sight paralyzed Keiichi.) More recently, Urd briefly messed with Peorth's head by pretending an accidentally swallowed potion had made her fall in love with Peorth. There also a scene where Belldandy was seen in a liplock with Peorth, doing the magical equivalent of CPR, which of course looks wrong and actually freaks Peorth out Belldandy was trying to suck a water spirit out of Peorth's body.)
    • Sayoko and several other girls were clearly thinking Les Yay in an early manga chapter when Urd hooked a finger into the top of Sayoko's swimsuit and pulled it open to take a good look inside. But...
    Urd: Just checking ... and mine are bigger!
    • There's a bit where Hild and Mara put together a Booby Trap that appeared to potential victims as someone or something they felt irresistibly drawn to kiss. Chihiro saw it as a cute little boy, accompanied by a cute little cat, on a cute little motorcycle. As she was just about to kiss it, Keiichi walked in, and naturally saw the trap as Belldandy ... puckered up to return Chihiro's kiss.
    • Some fans see Foe Yay between Urd and Mara. It gets better when a clone of Urd is threatening to destroy Urd, and Mara shouts, "I can't lose you! I still haven't beaten you at Tetris yet, dammit!"
    • The second season of the TV series has an ending with various couple together, symbolizing various relationships in various stages. Keiichi and Belldandy, Skuld and Sentaro, Keiichi and Megumi's parents etc. However Megumi and Sayoko are shown in a shot together, walking with one or more female friends. Given the theme of the rest of the shots it does seem to imply something.
  • El Hazard The Magnificent World: Alielle and Fatora sexually harass many women, particularly Shayla-Shayla.
    • There's also a very good deal of it between the girls in The Wanderers TV series. We have Nanami and Rune Venus, Ifurita and Rune Venus, Ifurita, Nanami and Rune Venus, Nanami and Shayla-Shayla, Nanami and Alielle, and Shayla-Shayla and Afura Mann.

  • Excel Saga plays this oh so much with Excel and Hyatt, more or less unavoidable given that they live together and that they just loved placing Hyatt with all kinds of innuendo. The final episode, "Going Too Far", brings it to its logical conclusion with a bodyswap, Excel admiring Hyatt's breasts, briefly falling in love with each other's own bodies, and their... attempts to revert the process.
    • The manga gives some one-sided Les Yay from Elgala towards Excel, trying to fondle and kiss her while drunk, and getting clobbered for her troubles. Much later the trope is parodied when the two are trapped underwater, and Excel appears to give Elgala the Kiss Of Life.

Even the second OP suggests this. Of course, players of the game knew what the anime eventually reveals rather vaguely: they're actually sisters, but in the anime, only Rin knows.
    • The prequel novel has a fair amount present as well, which the anime only adds to.
      • For one thing, Saber and Irisviel seem to become very close, call each other "knight" and "princess", and have scenes involving hand-holding in a very romantic way.
