One of Kaoru’s smitten little kittens.
With fourty main girls and the game being focused on their friendships, it’s not surprising that there’s an abundance of Ship Tease.
  • Kaoru with anyone. ANYONE.
    • First, there’s how Kaoru addresses literally anyone as a ‘kitten’.
    • Rimi has an obvious crush on her. She blushes around Kaoru and barely seems able to make comprehensible sentences around her. And there’s her reaction in the wedding event...
      Rimi: s-so handsome!
    • Rimi and Himari’s birthday talk in the lounge: Himari tells Rimi that she got her a birthday present. Kaoru herself then appears and wishes Rimi a happy birthday, all while Rimi blushes.
    • Said wedding event involves Saaya and Kaoru in a dress and suit respectively, dressing up as a married couple for a photoshoot. Made even better is how everyone at the end of the event genuinely thinks they got married.
    • Himari also has an obvious crush on Kaoru, to the point one of her cards (pictured above) has her with heart eyes and hearts emanating from her while looking at Kaoru.
    • Kaoru and Chisato are chosen to play Romeo and Juliet respectively during a school play. The event card for Chisato shows Kaoru gently caressing Chisato’s face as part of the play.
    • Kaoru’s rather flirty lines with Rinko.
      Kaoru: Fufu, I was thinking of the exact same thing. Rinko, it seems we are rather... compatible.
    • It seems the mobile game has cottoned onto this fact, with Kaoru performing vocals in the two most Ship Tease filled covers: "Romeo" and "Shanghai Honey".
  • Yukina and Lisa are close Childhood Friends and bandmates. Yukina naturally relies on Lisa for advice and support, while Lisa provides this all too happily.
    • Once, Roselia gets free snacks from Lisa’s boss at her part time job. Yukina doesn’t seem too interested.
      Yukina, while looking at Lisa: (Instead of cookies from the shop, I’d rather...)
    • As an addendum to the above scene, Yukina outright tells Lisa that she likes everything she makes. Lisa's response to this is nothing but adorable giddiness.
    • Lisa, in one 4koma, thinks that music to her is her fond memories with Yukina, and she decides to continue being by Yukina’s side.
    • In another 4koma, it’s revealed (or at least theorised by the other members) that Lisa has been secretly knitting winter clothing just for Yukina, even back before Roselia was formed and they were growing somewhat distant. The look on Lisa’s face when Yukina accepts her gifts is just so adorably happy.
    • The song Hidamari Rhodonite is strongly implied to be about Lisa from Yukina’s perspective. It’s a unique song in Roselia’s discography, being sung much warmer than usual for Yukina and the song itself just having such a fuzzy, fluffy feel to it. The lyrics talk about just how Lisa has always been there for Yukina, about how their meeting was fate, and about how Yukina feels she belongs with Lisa. It’s just so precious and sweet.
    • Garupa Pico Fever episode 24 shows their closeness, where even if Yukina can't talk for a while due to a sore throat, Lisa still understands her perfectly.
  • Kasumi gets up in Rimi’s face and rubs their cheeks together in episode 2 of the first season. This is despite them not even knowing each other besides as classmates. This can be dismissed as Kasumi simply being that friendly, but for the shy Rimi to just allow her to do it without stepping away? Interesting.
  • Apparently, next to ‘pan’ (bread), Moca’s favorite thing to eat is Ran.
  • Tsugumi's comments on Moca and Ran's relationship.
    Tsugumi: Of course we’re all great childhood friends, but those two have something special. On stage and off, they’re like two bodies with one mind.
  • In the Happy Phantom Thief event, one of the conditions for the thief to agree to release a kidnapped Kanon is for Misaki to act out a love confession to her.
    • The thief (Kaoru in disguise) then proceeds to claim Misaki is not passionate enough and needs to put more into her performance.
  • In the Cooking Class Craziness event, it can be eyebrow-raising to see the rather aloof Sayo get so close to Tsugumi in little more than a day spent together. Sayo even agrees to spend time with Tsugumi at the shop after the baking class when it’s previously established Sayo uses any free time she has for practicing guitar, up to and including recess breaks in school.
    Sayo: You have so many positive characteristics. I think you’re especially good at finding other people’s strong points.
    Tsugumi: You... think so? I’ve never thought of myself that way, so I don’t really get that feeling...
    Sayo: I do. Today I feel like I got to know all about that part of you.
    • And, earlier, which seems like a strange choice of phrasing between friends, but more suitable in a romantic context:
      Sayo: I want you to tell me more about yourself.
  • One of the ingame one-panel comics has Eve wanting to become Eve Yamato (because she found the name to reflect her values of bushido) with a very flustered Maya Yamato asking, “Are you proposing to me?”
  • In one comic Saya compares her relationship with Tae to that between her and her younger siblings, but Arisa sees things differently...
    Tae: Saya, have you got my-
    Saya: Your guitar pick and tea? Right here.
    Arisa: Seem more like an old married couple to me...
  • During Season 3 of the anime, when CHU2 and PAREO were chasing around Rokka to recruit her into RAS, Asuka quickly comes between them while Rokka cowers behind her and demands what they plan to do to her Rokka.
