History AmbiguouslyGay / AnimeAndManga

* Creed from ''Manga/BlackCat'' is never explicitly stated outright to be gay. However, pretty much every single character in the series notices his [[StalkerWithACrush romantic obsession]] with Train (other than [[ObliviousToLove Train himself]]). He dresses in very flamboyant, feathery clothing, and is [[SuckMyRose constantly seen with roses]] (he has a freakin' bath filled with them!). He also seems rather resentful and angry at most of the females in the series.

** Jakotsu, who hits on pretty much every male character he comes into contact with (except Bankotsu), and has an unwanted attraction to Inuyasha, to the point where, [[spoiler:in his sadistic version of love, tries to torture him to death because of it.]] After TheReveal that Jakotsu was the only completely loyal member of the Band of Seven, Bankostu shared a [[LoveBubbles bubbly]] HeadbuttOfLove with him.

* Ayane from ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'' is written almost exactly like a teenager who [[ComingOutStory won't realize she's gay until she's 21]]. While all of her close friends are getting into loving relationships, her main concern is that she can't feel the same level of attraction for any guy she dates (at least three people, which is a lot for this series). The only time she shows a spark of attraction is toward [[spoiler:her homeroom teacher Pin]], who would pretty much be guaranteed to reject her (the [[TeacherStudentRomance obvious]] [[AgeGapRomance reasons]] are gone by this point but he was still never the type to go for that). Meanwhile she's said several times that she would totally have dated Chizuru or Kurumi [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial if she were a guy]]. The idea of ''actually'' non-hypothetically dating another girl is never brought up, so we can't say for certain how she would react...

*** [[TheHero Giorno Giovanna]] is very close to his male comrades, and while [[AmbiguouslyBi Mista]] has some teases with Trish, the same cannot be said for Giorno.

** Magent Magent from ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]'' REALLY wants Wekapipo to acknowledge him, and also takes a liking to Diego.

** Chariot du Nord and Croix Meridies were ''very'' [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship close friends]] during their Luna Nova days, had several very emotionally intimate moments together, and despite [[spoiler:Croix absolutely destroying their friendship, tricking Chariot into stealing the magic of one her show crowds, Chariot still doesn't hesitate to try and save her when the Noir Rod goes berserk, while Croix quickly shifts gears to pleading with her to abandon her and save herself.]] She's also quite distressed in the epilogue when Croix has to leave, and gives a rather emotional farewell, complete with a rather wistful promise to [[IWillWaitForYou wait for her return.]]

* Konata of ''Manga/LuckyStar''. Her room is covered in posters and figurines of moe girls, she talks about Miyuki's breasts (in a joking manner?), she is obsessed with adult dating games (but girls like those too... right?). She seems to have massive picture archives of moe girls classified into different fetishes on her computer, seeming to include pornographic images as is hinted at in one episode. She definitely admires the female form. She and Kagami seem entangled in some sort of [[BelligerentSexualTension love-hate]] [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship quasi-romantic relationship]]. Konata, after Kagami give up her seat to her at a concert, seemingly touched remarks, "What is this feeling?" Konata seems to have only ever had female friends despite having interests which should win her plenty of male attention. On the other hand, Konata enjoys working at a CosplayCafe where she claims to enjoy the attention of the male customers whom she says are "kind of like" her boyfriends. She also seems to mention wanting a boyfriend (maybe? hard to sort out the exact words she used. might've been "lover". It was more of a daydream thing anyway where she imagined herself as several ''VisualNovel/DaCapo'' characters before being swept off her feet by a bishounen [and therefore ambiguously male] version of herself). She also commented that she doesn't really like giant robot shows for the action but just thinks the bishi characters are hot. Whether she's talking about the bishounen or bishoujo character is not clear, though, as she seems to be watching ''Anime/CodeGeass'' when she makes the comment.

** Nami shows little to no interest in men, and comments on the sex appeal of Kalifa during their fight. She also has a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship with Vivi, and they're shown sleeping against each other's shoulders in an opening.

* Miku Kohinata from ''Anime/SenkiZesshouSymphogear'' is this. [[spoiler: At first, anyway. Any ambiguity disappeared in G when episode 10 revealed that the reason she could link up with Shenshou Jing is because of her love for Hibiki.]]

-->'''Uruchi:''' ''(while drunk)'' "I think real love isn't restricted to just having relationships ''[[SchoolgirlLesbians with]]'' '''''[[DoesNotLikeMen MEN!!]]'''''"

** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo Vento Aureo]]'':

* Every single major male lead in ''Manga/DeathNote'' is either this or ambiguously {{Asexual|ity}}.

** Hiroki's mother has a male coworker who's strongly implied to be gay, as he has a "friend" he's very affectionate with and goes on a cruise with. She wants to ask him about his experiences but won't, out of respect for both his privacy and Hiroki's.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':

* In the ''Anime/AceAttorney'' anime, Maya seems to enjoy the magazine with "rather scantily dressed" women and is visibly disappointed when Phoenix takes it away [[http://ladyloveandjustice.tumblr.com/post/155828312760/well-the-anime-at-least-accurately-captured-how in Episode 21.]]

* ''Manga/KanojoNiNaritaiKimiToBoku'': Hime has a SingleTargetSexuality towards her {{trans|gender}} girl friend and is uncomfortable with [[AbhorrentAdmirer the attention of a boy]], though whether it's because he's male or because it's that specific boy unclear. She also seems starstruck by a pretty waitress (who turns out to be a DisguisedInDrag classmate).

* ''Manga/WanderingSon'' has an ambiguously asexual example. When the [[{{transgender}} closeted trans]] widow Ebina tries dating, the woman she begins seeing describes herself as having never fallen in love and being fine with never falling in love, but worried about not marrying before she becomes a ChristmasCake. It doesn't work between them. It's all but stated that she was aromantic.

** [[Recap/ZombieLandSagaRevengeE02 episode 2]] of ''Revenge'' has her flustered by the mere ''mention'' of marriage.

* Langa from ''Anime/Sk8TheInfinity'' is between a razor thin line of near-textual and textual AmbiguouslyGay for his best friend Reki, only really kept from it due to the phrasing of his conversation with his mom, where, when asked if he likes the person he broke a promise with, he admits he does with a gasp, aversion of gaze and subtle blush, going "Well...yeah." When she goes on to clarify her question is of romantic persuasion, assuming it's about a girl and specifying "her," he simply echoes "Her?" in confusion, and they both go "Huh?" at each other. Reki, in turn, is subtexually AmbiguouslyBi, as the entire series is about the build-up of their relationship with a great deal of romantic overtones as it goes on. In the end, the series has Langa subtly express that Reki is his ImpliedLoveInterest several times, but on Reki's side, while it seems like a likely mutual crush due to a lot of blushes between them, it's not as directly implied.

* ''Manga/FairyTail'' has several examples - Freed Justine, Kagura Mikazuchi, and Cana. Freed hero-worships Laxus while Kagura looks up to Erza as a big sister, but at times, it seems like they have crushes on their respective idols (not helped by Kagura [[spoiler:kissing Erza on the lips]] and the anime [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderizing]] Freed to make him wonder what Laxus would do before making any decision). Meanwhile, Cana has a habit of [[SkinshipGrope feeling up]] just about any attractive woman in later chapters (her most common target being Lucy).

** Zoro is alone among the young male characters (except for Luffy, who is himself [[WordOfGod aromantic and asexual, according to Oda]]) in not displaying obvious attraction to women. He's shown himself to be immune to women's attempts to use DistractedByTheSexy on him, and not in a HeroicWillpower way, either--he doesn't even ''notice.'' On the other hand, he displays a rather telling blush during his anime-only [[AccidentalKiss accidental]] [[AlmostKiss near-kisses]] with [[FoeYay Sanji]]...

* Iggy, robot sidekick to ''ActionGirl'' Re-L Mayer in ''Anime/ErgoProxy'', spends a substantial amount of time gossiping and trying to get Re-L to go shopping. And this was the intention of both the original [[WordOfGod filmmakers and the company in charge of the dub]].
