History HoYay / StarDriver

** Episode 14 takes this UpToEleven: [[spoiler: Head tells Sugata that painting what he loves is his idea of happiness. Next, he suggests painting ''a portrait of Sugata''.]]

* Kanako and Simone have so many bittersweet vibes going on between them (though one could consider them squicky, due to Simone being [[spoiler: Watanabe's step daughter, servant and classmate. All at once]].)

* [[spoiler:Kanako]] and Simone have bittersweet vibes going after Simone's back story comes up in the series.

* It gets rather blantant with Kou and Madoka - and Kanako talking about something happened between her and Madoka? And Madoka havong played with her and always considered her as a toy?

* Head and Ryousuke also. Ryousuke's the only person still around on the island who cares for Head's well-being, and [[TearJerker misses]] [[spoiler:the Tokio who once picked up a paint brush without being totally consumed by a want for power from the Cybodies]]. Their dynamic seems similar to that of [[spoiler:Sugata and Takuto's]], and seems to be no coincidence that the one to [[spoiler:inspire Head to paint again]] mirrors in temperament and circumstance.

* With episode 20, let's just say that Head thrives on this. [[spoiler: Even though he's Takuto's father.]]
** Dear Lord, ''Head and [[spoiler:Shingo]].'' It dives from subtext straight into text-text by episode 20. The way the guy reacts around Head says everything, and the way they touch each other goes even further. Then, as if any more confirmation was needed, [[spoiler:Sora, Head's former lover, says that "[Shingo's] replaced her." And after he's shown to have fallen into a mysterious coma, Head seems to watch over his body as the research division works on waking him--however, considering that Shingo didn't receive the affectionate flashbacks that the girls in Head's life were given, it's probable that Head merely thinks of him as another tool to manipulate.]]

* Considering the fact that the writer/director combo worked on the {{Fangirl}} / ReverseHarem parody OuranHighSchoolHostClub, this shouldn't be surprising. Some examples include:
** Kanako gives a stray comment on Sugata and Takuto kissing "through glass" in an early episode,
** Wako [[spoiler: has YaoiFangirl ImagineSpot of the two]] in episode 4 and 14.
** In the manga, Ruri sees Takuto and Sugata together and incorrectly assumes they're a "pretty boy couple."
** Takuto also spends every weekend at Sugata's house "so he won't be lonely." [[spoiler:Before his dorm room burns up in the midst of out-of-control fireworks and he has to start living with him.]]
** Takuto and Sugata are seen having baths together three times.
** [[spoiler: Head]] telling [[spoiler: Sugata]] he's happy that "someone as beautiful as him lives on the island"...
*** With [[spoiler:Sugata]] coming back to "watch him paint"...
*** Episode 14 takes this UpToEleven: [[spoiler: Head tells Sugata that painting what he loves is his idea of happiness. Next, he suggests painting ''a portrait of Sugata''.]]
*** Episode 23 isn't even subtle about it: [[spoiler:Sugata receives the painting Head made of him... and Taiga and Jaguar quickly comment that it has an ''unpleasant libido'' on it. Yeah...]]
** [[spoiler:Kanako]] and Simone have bitter-slash-sweet vibes going after Simone's back story comes up in the series.
** Madoka and Kou are basically confirmed as canon.
*** And ''then'' it turns out that ''[[spoiler:Kanako]] and [[spoiler:Madoka]] had a relationship together in the past.'' And [[spoiler: Simone]] seems rather jealous to know that.

** While Kanako gives a stray comment on Sugata and Takuto kissing "through glass" in an early episode, Wako blatantly ships the two together thereafter, [[spoiler: having YaoiFangirl ImagineSpot of the two]] in episode 4 and 14. In the manga, Ruri sees Takuto and Sugata together and incorrectly assumes they're a "pretty boy couple."
** As well, after their platonic RelationshipUpgrade in episode 7 (compared to the noticeable tenseness of earlier episodes), Takuto and Sugata's personal HoYay moments--rather than those imagined by others--have slowly begun to rise.
*** Starting with a rather appropriate "[[GiantRobotHandsSaveLives it's a catch]]."
*** Takuto also spends every weekend at Sugata's house "so he won't be lonely." [[spoiler:Before his dorm room burns up in the midst of out-of-control fireworks and he has to start living with him.]]
*** Takuto and Sugata are seen having baths together twice. The second time, Sugata [[spoiler: is remembering that Head told him a Star Driver must have a high libido. He's side-glancing at Takuto the whole time]]! In the same scene, Wako, who can't wait to have a bath herself, tells them to "get out of there if they have finished making out already."
** And then you have [[spoiler: Head]] telling [[spoiler: Sugata]] he's happy that "someone as beautiful as him lives on the island"...

** [[spoiler:Kanako]] and Simone have bitter-slash-sweet vibes going after Simone's back story comes up in the series. And when Madoka and Kou are introduced in episode 17, their LesYay becomes rather unsubtle after a certain scene... Then after ''another scene,'' they're basically confirmed as canon.

*** Episode 23 isn't even subtle about it: [[spoiler:Sugata receives the painting Head made of him... and Taiga and Jaguar are quick to affirm that it has an ''unpleasant libido'' on it. Yeah...]]

*** In particular, Takuto spends every weekend at Sugata's house "so he won't be lonely."

This is in spite of already having a mark transferred to him, although his "heart being frozen in Zero Time" and/or ManipulativeBastard mentality might have something to do with it.]]
