This page covers only intentional examples, chiefly those [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by characters, [[Word of God]], laughter or awkward pauses. It does not cover fans' delight at or tendency to view any interactions as gay; for that, see [[Ho Yay]]. It also does not cover any [[Ship Tease]]s or actual homoerotism, where the characters may indeed be attracted to each other.
{{noreallife|this is a trope about how characters are depicted in media.}}
{{examples}}
== Anime
* ''[[Bleach]]'': Remember the time
* Negi and Fate Averruncus in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. The subtext is actually noticed and lampshaded in-story with the girls wondering if they have a strong new rival for Negi. Even disregarding that both of them are around ten years old, at least one of them has/had a female [[Love Interest]].
** Much earlier, there was Negi and Kotarou.
* While the author of ''[[Durarara!!]]'' is apparently annoyed to some extent by the people who ship Izaya and Shizuo, he has apparently said 'Hell, why not' and put in some subtext in later volumes. In truth, they absolutely hate each other, but Izaya delights in pissing people off and this is just another way of doing it.
* As an extremely genre savvy shoujo manga, ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' plays up the homoerotic subtext for both fanservice and laughs. After all, a decent amount of [[Yaoi Fangirls]] have to be reading it. It's even invoked in universe when the twins play it up during club activities.
* The last episode of the first season of ''[[
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' might have some of this—being a comedy that also has a few [[Canon]] gay couples, it's hard to tell sometimes what is [[Played for Laughs]] and what is actual [[Ship Tease]].
* ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' lives and breathes this trope. Helps that 90% of the cast are male.

* Black and White from [[Grey Is...|Grey Is]], their relationship has a lot of this. They bicker like a married couple and have no problem showing affection for each other
