* It's hard to tell in the first volume of the ''Anime/ReadOrDie'' manga whether Yomiko is falling in love with Nenene Sumiregawa's books, or the author herself. It's further complicated by the fact that Nenene plants a FirstKiss (for her, anyway) on Yomiko as inspiration for one of the '''three''' novels she's writing at the ''same'' time. Yes... she's ''just that good.''
** In the TV series however it's Nenene who brings most of the Yay, spending a great amount of her time pining for Yomiko, with the not-so-subtle implication her life almost collapsed when Yomiko left (at the very least losing all motivation as a writer).
** And then there's the {{OVA}}, where Yomiko and Nancy dance on a knife edge between whether they're really good friends (despite the personality clash early on) or if Nancy's finding Yomiko more attractive than her ''current'' lover, [[spoiler:the manipulative leader of the I-Jin, for whom Nancy is a spy]]. Not helped by two of the rare times that Yomiko shows visible emotions over something other than books include Nancy being critically injured by one of the I-Jin, and her visit to [[spoiler:Nancy's clone "little sister" after the latter's death, where she starts telling her about her "big sister" the hero]].
** [[Anime/RODTheTV The TV series]] and the ''Read or Dream'' manga have Anita and Hisami; Hisami is very explicitly smitten by Anita, even implicitly turning down her UnluckyChildhoodFriend because she is in love with Anita.
** In the ''Read Or Dream'' manga Maggie meets a DelicateAndSickly girl who, thinking [[{{Bifauxnen}} Maggie]] is male, becomes massively infatuated with her, to the point of trying to kiss her and eventually writing fanfiction starring the two of them. Maggie herself clearly cares deeply for the girl, but her feelings are not specified.
