Homoerotic Subtext: Difference between revisions

* 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.

* ''[[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.
