== Anime and Manga ==
* Pictured above: Mugi and Nono from ''[[Hitohira]]'' quickly appear to enter such a relationship after Nono drafts Mugi for her drama club. Mugi has an obvious crush on Nono for most of the series and their relationship culminates in {{spoiler|a very heartwarming ending when they say their goodbyes}}.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* Nana O and Nana K's relationship in ''[[Nana]]''.
* Shinobu's feelings for Kaede in ''[[Ninin ga Shinobuden]].''
* Fate's relationship with Nanoha in the first two seasons ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''; the third season toes the line. Post-''StrikerS'', {{spoiler|Fate/Nanoha/Vivio is canonically referred to as the "Takamachi Family", Yuuno's role best described as "Substitute Father" to Vivio when Fate is away from home ([[All There in the Manual]]), [[Executive Meddling|except ''ViVid'' and ''Force'' scrap that last one for a good measure]]}}.
** Alisa and Suzuka from the same series are also shown to be very fond of each other.
** And Teana and Subaru from season three.
Line 69 ⟶ 68:
* The relationship between Hanna and Suomi from ''[[Diamond Daydreams]]'' clearly has some elements of this. They witness the "diamond dust" together, just like lovers would do—and their falling out has all the symptoms of an extended lover's quarrel.
* Runo and Alice from ''[[Bakugan]]'' are quite close, even closer then they are with their love interests ({{spoiler|[[Idiot Hero|Dan]] ([[Official Couple|official]]) and [[The Lancer|Shun]] ([[Ship Tease|prominently hinted]])}}, whose relationship are borders on [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] respectively)
* Hikari and Futaba from ''[[Amanchu!]]'' rush into this headfirst. Hikari's behavior toward Futaba could be construed as flirting—andflirting — and Futaba is very responsive. This is no surprise, since romantic two girl friendships are not unheard-of in works by Kozue Amano (who also made ''[[Aria (manga)|Aria]]'').
* One of the possible interpretations for Licorice and Cleao's relationship in ''[[Sorcerer Stabber Orphen]]''.
* ''[[K-On!]]'' has romantic tension between the girls in various alignments and levels of intensity. Mio and Ritsu have their moments, especially when Ritsu shows definite signs of jealousy when Mio "dates" another girl. But the most romantically inclined appears to be Yui, who is clearly very enthralled by Mio, only to shift her focus to Azusa once she appears—and she at times even seems to be suspiciously close to her own sister Ui. It's all kept rather light though, in line with the [[WAFF|fluffy]] character of the show.

* Lisa and Chelsea in Belle & Sebastian's song "She's Losing It" seem to be like this.
* The [[Trope Namer]] is Lena Katina of the Russian electronic/pop duo [[t.A.T.u.]], who used this term to describe the relationship between her and bandmate Yulia Volkova after they were called on using homosexuality for publicity.

** [[Ship Tease|Hinted at]] with Annie and Kat - they're very close, and certain strips [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=96 like this] make it seem like they might be more than just friends. It took [[Word of God]] to state that they aren't kissing in the fifth panel, but that seems to be [[Shrug of God|all the author's willing to say]] on that subject.
** Then there are inseparable former fairies known as Red and Blue - they even chose to become humans together. It's hard to tell what goes on between them (in part thanks to their wildly non-human background), but both act [[Tsundere]] to each other ([[Red Oni, Blue Oni|in different ways]]) and other Foley kids (other immigrants from the Wood) consider them "such good friends".
* In ''[[Red String]]'' Fuuko finds love after she moves to Toyko, Hanae. When Hanae's mother discovers their relationship she [https://web.archive.org/web/20110814183505/http://www.redstring.strawberrycomics.com/?p=1025 chastises them] telling that they need to grow out of it because it "Won't get them anywhere" (i.e. won't get them married) clearly disregarding their love as a "Class S" relationship.
* [[Drowtales|Kiel'ndia and Naal'suul.]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20111113073236/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6783 Enough said.]
** Ariel and Faen also have this when younger, though after the timeskip [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20160305223039/http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8416 Faen at least would like to put more emphasis on the "romance" part], and Ariel's feelings on the matter aren't yet known.
* Bubbles and Jenny seem to have established one of these in ''[[Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi]]'' almost at first sight.
* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' stays connected to its anime roots.
