* A somewhat mild version occurs in [[Pretty Sammy|Magical Project S]] between Sasami and Misao, since the characters are underage. They're very close friends, and there's subtext there, but the end of the show very haphazardly pairs them up with their Ryo-ohki and Rumiya respectively, even though they didn't know either boy had human forms until the end of the show.

* The old [[Girls Love]] manga ''[[Mayas Funeral Procession (Manga)|Maya's Funeral Procession]]'' ends with one of the girls marrying her male childhood friend, even though up until that point she'd been very [[Squick|Squicked]] by the idea of marrying him, since she viewed him as [[Like Brother and Sister]].

* ''[[You're Under Arrest]]'' features a very intimate relationship between two [[Lovely Angels]]. The couple gets a lot of [[Ship Tease]] from manga omakes, endings of the anime, and official artwork. However, they both have male love interests and don't express any romantic feelings for each other. Compared to their male love interests, which tend to be forced and they typically have an awkward relationship with, their relationship is the main cause of troubles in the series.

** In the third season, ''Full Throttle'', the male relationships were greatly downplayed, but outside of the ending animation Miyuki and Natsumi never quite make it beyond [[Ship Tease]].
* Rika and Hanyuu come millimeters away from kissing -with hands intertwined and eyes closed, no less-, in the the closing theme of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni]]: Kai''.

* ''[[Life (Manga)|Life]]'' is very similar to the ''[[Nana]]'' example above. A lot of the manga centers around the close bond between Ayumu and Miki. Ayumu states that Miki "is her light", they share a [[Kiss of Life]], and one character teases of one their male friends about them. Still, Ayumu eventually shows feeling for a boy, Miki gets a boyfriend in her home town, and {{spoiler|both women go their separate ways in the end}}.

* Since your typical hentai game has one or two major male characters and boatloads of pretty girls, the marketing images often involve multiple female characters looking mighty friendly, even if there's not even a romantic friendship between them in-game. For that matter, several games play up a romantic friendship between two girls and teasingly suggest that one of them may be gay for the other, only to eventually drop that subject without so much as a girl/girl kiss ever being shown. Obviously some authors do not agree that [[Girl On Girl Is Hot]].
