Hide Your Lesbians: Difference between revisions

{{examples|Examples:}}

* In ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'', Minto was actually allowed to give a love confession to her [[Onee Sama]] Zakuro, but they were fighting at the time, and Zakuro never gives her answer onscreen. Compare to fellow minor teammate Retasu, who was allowed to carry out a long and involved [[Ship Tease]] [[Love Triangle]] with ''two'' males, one of whom she actually kissed.

* As ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'' shows, [[Minion Shipping]] isn't totally immune. Mimi and Sheshe's almost-kiss was cut from broadcast, while the main girls kiss their boyfriends all the time. If you take their group name literally, it could be Hide Your Incest too, but it's also quite plausible that they're not actually sisters and the name comes from either the [[Onee Sama]] tradition or their shared origin -- either way, it's pretty badly hidden, all right.

* ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'' had, already from its initial run, a fair amount of [[Les Yay]] revolving around Kaorin's obsession with the [[Averted Trope|not really]] [[Tall Dark and Bishoujo]], [[Shrinking Violet|Sakaki]]... Then, in the newly-released 10th anniversary manga, [http://mangahelpers.com/s/megchan-scanlations/readonline/43115/12?t=1251048090 this] situation arose... However, since the series, [[High School|being the kind of series it was]], ended when the main characters graduated, and without any (of the few existing) relationships resolved or expanded upon to boot, it's up to [[Fanon|the readers to decide]] [[Fan Fiction|what happened after that]].

* Nanoha and Fate from the ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' franchise likely have something more going on than just a [[Romantic Two Girl Friendship|romantically tinged friendship]]. At least, they share a bed and even adopt a child together. ''If'' that is indeed the case, they keep very quiet about it, since they don't do more in public than exchange glances. Of course, in the real world there are also people who don't like to spill the beans about their (homosexual) relationships either, so then it would be a case of [[Truth in Television]].

** Although it's not just Nanoha and Fate- aside from Chrono and Amy, who never actually appear together after the scene that reveals they got married, ''none'' of the relationships are confirmed to be more than friendship, regardless of the genders involved, so this could be attributed to [[No Hugging No Kissing]].

* ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru (Light Novel)|Mariasama ga Miteru]]'' excels at setting up [[Romantic Two Girl Friendship|beautiful, romantic relationships]] [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|between female characters]] that [[Bait and Switch Lesbians|never quite]] [[Relationship Reveal|make the leap into text]].

* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima (Manga)|Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', [[Bodyguard Crush|Setsuna and Konoka]] are heavily, ''heavily'' implied to be lesbians, but it is never stated outright. In the [[Where Are They Now Epilogue]], it's mentioned that Setsuna got married in 2017, though it doesn't mention to who. [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Konoka also got married in 2017]].

* [[Word of God]] has always had interesting things to say about the antagonists Gulcasa and Nessiah in ''[[Yggdra Union]]'', claiming that Gulcasa trusts Nessiah more than anyone else and that the two are closer than anyone else in the Imperial Army. The issue is resolved in this particular game by never having them both onscreen at the same time, although Nessiah (a strict user of [[Keigo]]) is shown to be [[First Name Basis|on first-name, no-suffix basis]] with Gulcasa regardless. Three years after ''[[Yggdra Union]]'' was released, ''[[Yggdra Unison]]'' came out, which allows everyone to interact with everyone--and even in Nessiah's route, where he's portrayed as a [[Villain Ball Magnet]] hated by almost the entire cast, nary a conversation between Gulcasa and Nessiah goes by without some form of playful flirting being exchanged. ''[[Blaze Union]]'', in which Gulcasa is the protagonist, has their relationship finally graduate into [[But Not Too Gay]] and spents its quota of subtext on the metaphorical equivalent of [[Their First Time]] under [[Mate or Die|extenuating]] [[Sex As Rite of Passage|and symbolic]] circumstances.

** The same games have [[Butch Lesbian|Zilva]] and [[Bi the Way|Elena]], whose relationship reads rather a lot like [[Star Crossed Lovers]]. ''[[Blaze Union]]'' adds credence to the theory that there's something going on between them, implying that Zilva has come to view Elena as a [[Replacement Goldfish]] for another girl she once had a crush on, a character who dies in the canon route of that game.

* [[Romantic Two Girl Friendship|Kitty and Bunny]], from ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]''.
