Line 7:
Think ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (Anime)/Ho Yay|Nanoha]]'' with [[BFS|huge swords]] instead of magic. There is a reason some of the fans jokingly refer to the series as [[Fan Nickname|"Gaymoar"]].
{{tropelist}}
* As a general rule, any time a Claymore invokes [[I Cannot Self
** The first bit of a [[Les Yay]] in the series involves Clare carrying this out on an old friend of hers, Elena. According to Clare, they shared a bed on a regular basis in order to comfort each other during the painful process of transforming into Claymores.
* [[Hot Blooded|Helen]] and [[The Stoic|Deneve]] probably have the most [[Les Yay]] of any two characters in the series, on account of the fact that [[Heterosexual Life Partners|they're very close friends who do just about everything together.]]
** The fact that they have [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|contrasting personalities]] and often have a [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]] / [[Tsundere]] dynamic doesn't help in the slightest.
** Helen also has a fair bit of [[Les Yay]] with Clare, such as going into a screaming rage with [[Berserker Tears]] when Clare is afraid she's [[Super
** Deneve also gets quite a bit of it with [[Amazonian Beauty|Undine]] during the Northern Campaign arc. {{spoiler|The fact that after Undine's death Deneve carries her sword as a tribute only adds to it.}}
* Jean is grateful to Clare after she [[Rescue Romance|saves Jean's life]], and subsequently [[I Will Definitely Protect You|becomes extremely protective of her]] and spends the rest of her time the series constantly following her around. {{spoiler|She also pulls a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to save Clare from [[Fate Worse Than Death|becoming an Awakened One]].}}
** For Clare's part, when [[Hero Killer|Rigardo]] severely injures Jean, Clare goes into an [[Unstoppable Rage]] and taps far deeper into her [[Super
* Ophelia has quite a bit with Clare, since about five minutes after the two of them meet she's feeling Clare up and commenting on how good she smells. Of course, since five minutes is also how long it takes Ophelia to [[Ax Crazy|decide she's going to kill Clare]], she's a [[Psycho Lesbian]].
** Ophelia and Clare's second battle is also loaded with [[Les Yay]], especially at the end. Ophelia actually yells at Clare when it looks like her [[Heroic Resolve]] is starting to falter, and the battle ends Ophelia's naked torso clinging tightly to her as Ophelia stares into Clare's eyes and [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|promises to entrust everything to her]].
* Tabitha is ''very'' devoted to Miria after the Northern Campaign, something that several characters point out at varying times.
** She also gets into a fight with Deneve when Deneve {{spoiler|tries to prevent her going to rescue Miria from the Organization.}} Shortly after that, Tabitha punches out Deneve for insulting Miria. It bears mentioning that Deneve is a ''much'' stronger fighter than Tabitha.
* Yuma and Cynthia get quite a bit of it when Cynthia [[Taking the Bullet|uses her body to shield Yuma]]. The subsequent revelation that Cynthia has been a [[Death Seeker]], which Cynthia follows up by invoking [[I Cannot Self
* Fans of intergenerational pairings among the fanbase have picked up Teresa's [[Parental Substitute|quasi-maternal]] relationship with Clare and run with it. Clare taking off her clothes before hugging Teresa provides fodder for quite a few [[Fan Vid|fanvids]] and [[Fan Art|fanarts]].
* Pages 25 and 26 of chapter 116 scream "LES YAY" so hard that it's funny.
