Despite not being a that kind of story, Elegant Yokai Apartment Life has more than their fair share of Ho Yay, especially with a Cast Full of Pretty Boys. It is not surprising for moments like this to occur every once in a while.
For Yushi/Hase and all the lampshade-hanging done for them, see this page.
- Yuushi has a strong admiration for Ryu-san which can often be seen like a crush.
- In Ryu-san's second appearance Antiquary pulls off his hair ribbon and Yushi's blushing reaction...really can't be explained heterosexually.
- Ryu keeps holding Yushi in princess carry IN the baths during Yushi's grueling training week in episode 13 and insists to carrying him that way and that it wasn't fair that he didn't get to take Yuushi to the bath's.
- Like with Ryu-san, Yuushi also holds a strong respect for Chiaki-sensei, his homeroom teacher, which somes crosses the line between teacher and student.
- When Chiaki first meets Yuushi, he feels Yuushi up (touching his arms and checking out his ears), which looks a bit like groping, in order to find out if he's healthy.
- Yuushi gets incredibly cross when he hears others badmouth Chiaki.
- Later, Yuushi helps out Chiaki-sensei with his anemia by transferring some of the damage to himself. To do so, Yuushi covers his eyes with one hand and puts a hand on Chiaki's heart. Due to the nature of the transfer, he starts panting from the pain of the transfer before Chiaki grabs him by the hand and asks him why he's panting in front of him. Yuushi assures him that it was nothing 'weird'.
- Fool later says that Yuushi's and Chiaki's bodies were "very compatible".
- When one of Aoki's followers slashes Chiaki, Yushi immediately goes after her and warns her not to do it again before coming to Chiaki's aide. Yushi starts to panic fearing that Chiaki might fall into a coma because of his anemia but calms down enough to save him, all while holding Chiaki in his arms as his he lays unconscious.
- Soon after the incident above, Yushi asks Chiaki to lick the Arimita immortal water drop off his hand so he could become stronger from his anemia. Yushi realizes a little too late how weird his requests sounds, but Chiaki actually complies.
- It doesn't help that Chiaki mentions to Yuushi that students in his previous schools had asked to date him, and it was an all boys school.
