History HoYay / Claymore

* Galatea playing the [[KnightInShinyArmor gallant]] [[TheCavalry knight]] to save Clare from Dauf, then taking her to safety in a BridalCarry, while Clare stares adoringly at a single-digit who came to her rescue. Tell me that bit of LesYay wasn't intentional.

* Miria pulling the sword out of the awakened Hysteria's throat is loaded with it.

* Cassandra herself had a LesYay filled relationship with a younger Claymore in her backstory. It was her death and Roxanne's deliberate failure to save her which led to Cassandra attacking Roxanne and getting killed.

* Jean is grateful to Clare after she [[RescueRomance saves Jean's life]], and subsequently [[IWillDefinitelyProtectYou becomes extremely protective of her]] and spends the rest of her time the series constantly following her around. [[spoiler: She also pulls a HeroicSacrifice to save Clare from [[FateWorseThanDeath becoming an Awakened One]].]]

*** Roxanne is made of this trope, gaining the nickname "of the Love and Hate," after becoming obsessed with a series of warriors and becoming close to learn their techniques until she surpasses them and loses interest, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness which doesn't turn out well for the other warriors]]. That Cassandra blushes when Roxanne waves or smiles at her just makes it all the more-so.

* The fanbase have picked up Teresa's [[ParentalSubstitute quasi-maternal]] relationship with Clare and run with it. Clare taking off her clothes before hugging Teresa provides fodder for quite a few [[FanVid fanvids]] and [[FanArt fanarts]].

** She also gets into a fight with Deneve when Deneve[[spoiler: tries to prevent her going to rescue Miria from the Organization.]] Shortly after that, Tabitha punches out Deneve for insulting Miria. It bears mentioning that Deneve is a ''much'' stronger fighter than Tabitha.

* The loli loving fanbase have picked up Teresa's [[ParentalSubstitute quasi-maternal]] relationship with Clare and run with it. Clare taking off her clothes before hugging Teresa provides fodder for quite a few [[FanVid fanvids]] and [[FanArt fanarts]].

Think ''Nanoha'' with [[{{BFS}} huge swords]] instead of magic. There is a reason some of the fans jokingly refer to the series as [[FanNickname "Gaymoar"]].

** It could be said that Roxanne has turned LesYay into a [[MegaManning superpower]].]]

''{{Claymore}}'' is chock-full of [[ActionGirl kickass females]], most of whom [[DefrostingIceQueen hide a tender side]] and at points the LesYay levels rise to high heavens. Most of that is probably due to the fact that it's a series with an [[ImprobablyFemaleCast almost entirely female cast]] that spends a reasonable amount of time exploring the relationships between its characters. However, there have also been indications that Claymores are [[{{Asexuality}} not interested in that kind of thing]], perhaps, as a [[FanWank side effect of their mutation]].

** And now one scene shows Cassandra ''[[ItMakesSenseInContext licking]]'' Roxanne.

** On that note, the amounts of LesYay Cassandra and Roxanne are generating is going through the roof, especially with this line in Chapter 117. “Inveigling Cassandra was a simple task for Roxanne. Days of training when they would ''share the same pillow'' and occasionally cross swords.”

* Pages 25 and 26 of chapter 116 scream "LES YAY" so hard that it's funny.

** Ophelia and Clare's second battle is also loaded with LesYay, especially at the end. Ophelia actually yells at Clare when it looks like her HeroicResolve is starting to falter, and the battle ends Ophelia's naked torso clinging tightly to her as Ophelia stares into Clare's eyes and promises to entrust everything to her.

* The {{Lolicon}} fanbase have picked up Teresa's [[ParentalSubstitute quasi-maternal]] relationship with Clare and run with it. Clare taking off her clothes before hugging Teresa provides fodder for quite a few [[FanVid fanvids]] and [[FanArt fanarts]].

** The first bit of a LesYay in the series involves Clare carrying this out on an old friend of hers, Elena. According to Clare, they shared a bed on a regular basic in order to comfort each other during the painful process of transforming into Claymores.

* The {{Lolicon}} fanbase have picked up Teresa's [[ParentalSubstitute quasi-maternal]] relationship with Clare and run with it. Clare taking off her clothes before hugging Teresa (though ordinarily a bit [[{{Squick}} squicky]] provides fodder for quite a few [[FanVid fanvids]] and [[FanArt fanarts]].

* Yuma and Cynthia get quite a bit of it when Cynthia [[TakingTheBullet uses her body to shield Yuma]]. The subsequent revelation that Cynthia has been a DeathSeeker, which Cynthia follows up by invoking ICannotSelfTerminate. Yuma answers by [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Straddling Cynthia, placing her hands on Cynthia's chest]] and delivering a HowDareYouDieOnMe speech while MegaManning a new healing power.

** The fact that they have [[RedOniBlueOni contrasting personalities]] and often have a JerkWithAHeartOfGold/{{Tsundere}} dynamic doesn't help in the slightest.

* [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Helen]] and [[TheStoic Deneve]] probably have the most LesYay of any two characters in the series.
** The fact that they have [[RedOniBlueOni contrasting personalities]] and are almost always seen together certainly helps fuel the idea.

* Tabitha is ''very'' devoted to Miria after the Northern Campaign, to the point of punching out Deneve for bad-mouthing her.

* The ''{{Claymore}}'' manga is chock-full of [[ActionGirl kickass females]], most of whom [[DefrostingIceQueen hide a tender side]], and at points the LesYay levels rise to high heavens on this one (''especially'', with [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Helen]] and [[TheStoic Deneve]]). Think ''Nanoha'' with [[{{BFS}} huge swords]] instead of magic...
