* The image [[https://imgur.com/a/nmwrUZt Quro draws for the May 2020 issue]] of ''Kirara Carat'' features Mira and Ao... which is fine, but Quro gave Ao some rather masculine clothing--dress shirt, cardigan, necktie, and trousers--making the two [[ShipTease looking more like a heterosexual couple]]. As a related matter, the author also gives Ao attributes that is usually seen as masculine ([[MenCantKeepHouse poor housework skills]] and [[RealMenTakeItBlack preference towards black coffee]]), despite otherwise being quite feminine.

''Asteroid in Love'''s premise lies on ThePromise between Mira and Ao, which in itself a source of homoerotic interpretation of how they act. In addition to them, there are subtexts abound for other pairings.

** Mira asks Misa to stop saying weird things to Ao because Ao is her "precious/special partner." This is not a case of DubText, since the exact Japanese phrase she used ("daiji na paatonaa"), while tilted more towards the professional meaning of the word "partner," is on record to also mean "significant other."

* Creator/{{Funimation}}'s choice for Ao's dub voice actor may unintentionally created DubText. Megumi Yamaguchi, Ao's Japanese voice actor, tends to play {{Shrinking Violet}}s, but the English voice actor Creator/MorganBerry usually plays ''young boys or tomboys''. While Berry plays Ao rather softly--Ao is relatively shy, after all--her deep voice sounds masculine enough to make Ao and Mira sound like a TomboyAndGirlyGirl pair.

* In the first episode:
** When asked about why she is joining the Earth Sciences Club, Mira tells the story between her and a boy called Ao years ago while holding the hands of the girl sitting next to her for minutes.
