As tends to be the case in idol series with an Improbably Female Cast, Lapis Re:LiGHTs has no shortage of hinted and blatant homoerotic moments with its characters.

Individual Characters

    Lynette 
  • She is a huge fan of romance novels and her game description on the website mentions her sometimes fantasizing about her classmates making out. Note that their school is an all-girls academy.

Episode 2

  • When the other members of LiGHTS express doubts that Rosetta is secretly dating another girl, she passionately insists that gender doesn't matter.

Episode 3

  • In Episode 3 of the anime, when Ashley orders Lavie to take off her clothes (so she can fix the rip in them), Lynette gets excited and Ashley quickly has to clarify it's not that.
    Tsubaki 
  • Tsubaki is a massive pervert who flirts with and harasses, secretly takes pictures of, and steals the belongings of the lower years (or even her younger sisters' underwear), much to the disappointment of her younger sisters. She also insists it's not "stalking", it's "surprise photos!"
Episode 4
  • Tsubaki cries some fake tears, she wipes her eyes with a "handkerchief". Kaede snatches it from her hand and discovers it's one of her pairs of panties. Tsubaki then reveals she stole a second pair of panties just in case then pulls out one of Nadeshiko's bras from her cleavage. As she holds them up out of their reach, she says that she rather enjoys seeing her little sisters like this.

Episode 5

  • When Champe offers her a hug as Tsubaki's actual little sisters are absent, Tsubaki claims she can't let anyone other than them coddle her. Then she dramatically swoons and "faints" in Champe's arms, and makes a very suspect face and sound after Champe happily hugs her.
    Yuzuriha 
  • Yuzuriha was an out and proud Lipstick Lesbian with a habit of flirting with Western women and established the Cabaret Club to help facilitate that.
  • She was known to have a Friendly Rivalry with her group member Camilla, who is a Bifauxnen with an Eastern Culture Fetish to match Yuzuriha's Western Culture Fetish. She's even described as never showing her more submissive side to anyone but Camilla.
Episode 8
  • Yuzuriha's Establishing Character Moment is her seducing a girl in the library and coaxing her to the cabaret club so Yuzuriha can continue giving her "service".

Episode 12

  • In a flashback, she's shown sneaking into Eliza's bed while she's asleep, so she'll hug her thinking she's Tiara. Eliza wakes up, kicks her out of bed, and proceeds to pull on her legs while stepping on her. Yuzuriha claims "This isn't so bad either!" and dialog from Chloe implies she does this a lot.
    Champe 
  • Champe is the no. 1 Hostess of the Cabaret Club and proudly reassures new clients that the establishment is exclusively female so "things don't get weird". It specializes in "little sister" service where the clients can get their ears cleaned, talk over drinks, or have their heads stroked while being given a Lap Pillow.

Episode 5

  • In Episode 5, when she eagerly offers "Cabaret-on-the-Go" to Emilia and Tsubaki, and she both knows and knowingly takes advantage of the latter's little sister fetish.

    Emilia 
  • Emilia is a member of the Public Morals Committee and wishes to "regulate" romantic relationships between the students.

    Garnet 
  • Though Garnet is explicitly looking for friends, her having No Sense of Personal Space, the expressions she makes, and her moments of posesssive behavior makes you wonder.

Pairings

    Tiara x Rosetta 
  • Across all media, Rosetta and Tiara are incredibly close Childhood Friends, even if they were supposed to be just Princess and her Maid.

Episode 1

  • Rosetta knows exactly how long it's been since she left for Flora Girls' Academy without Tiara. Tiara is just amused and says she expected as much.
  • Tiara falls asleep standing up and Rosetta takes the opportunity to gently twirl a lock of her hair around her finger.

Episode 4

  • After Kaede asks Tiara if she can be her replacement older sister, Rosetta quickly and vehemently shoots down the idea. Tiara points out she didn't need to answer for her and Rosetta awkwardly tries to take it back.

Episode 5

  • When Rosetta is de-aged by 10 years, the first thing she does is cry "I love you, Tiara!" and hug her. For as long as the effect lasts, she's seen cuddling and giggling as she hugs Tiara and clings to her for comfort when Angelica gets annoyed at her for calling her an "old lady".
  • The board game demands Rosetta do 1,000 push-ups. Rosetta boasts that for Tiara, she'd happily do 10,000. The board game then tells her to do just that.

    Tiara x Yue 
  • There's Yue's saving Tiara from a Magical Monster attack, Yue's sneaking into the bath while Tiara thought she was alone to talk to her privately, and much of the plot being Yue's one-sided rivalry with Tiara and how they both push themselves to be the best witches they can be.
  • Of all the many pairings that Lynette could fantasize about, the creators chose this one.

    Kaede x Salsa 

Our Prelude Manga

  • Kaede got a fortune that said she and Salsa were fated to be together. Tsubaki jokes that they're soulmates that are destined to be married (complete with an Imagine Spot of Kaede in a Western-style wedding dress) but Kaede and Salsa are roommates, ended up as very close friends in spite of their differences, and are both the apprentices of Yuzuriha and Camilla of Ray respectively, who also had a similar, intimately close "friendship".

Game Continuity

  • On Kaede's birthday, Salsa offers all-day head pats and hair-fluffing and has a moment of panic when Kaede is gleeful over the offer. On Salsa's birthday, she offers the same thing to Kaede.

    Champe x Maryberry 
  • Champe and Maryberry are said to be so close they share a bed most nights.
  • Champe is very determined to find Maryberry and doesn't hesitate to go into a clearly Haunted House in order to rescue her. When they're finally reunited, Champe tackle-hugs her so hard she sends them both to the floor.

Game Continuity

  • On Maryberry's birthday, Champe offers to celebrate by sleeping in the same bed as each other. (They're roommates.) Ratura teases them for this.

    Garnet x Emilia 
  • Garnet is especially touchy-feely and invasive of Emilia's personal space. She even calls her the "only friend she needs".

Episode 7

  • Garnet is constantly stalking Emilia, to the point of intentionally hiding in places where she won't catch her so she can observe undisturbed. There's also the expressions she makes when she talks about her and invades her personal space constantly like touching Emilia or putting her finger to her lips.

Episode 12

  • Following the orchestras at the Ceaster Festival, Garnet is seen clinging to Emilia's arm.

    Lynette x Ratura 
  • After discovering they were both fans of Ray, Lynette and Ratura express a desire to become closer friends. In the following episodes, they're frequently seen hanging out, helping each other, and after LiGHTs' first successful Opera, Ratura is seen hugging Lynette to congratulate her.
