Strike Witches
- There's a lot of Les Yay between Mio and Yoshika, what with Yoshika admiring Mio like crazy and Mio's mentor/Cool Big Sis role for Yoshika. The frequent Say My Name moments between them don't help.
- The fandom is starting to notice this on Perrine and Lucchini. Many of their interactions are rather amusing in terms that they're complete polar opposites, especially episode 9 of the second season, where they share tons of Ship Tease moments, which would lead the popularity of this couple.
- Relatedly, Luccini and Shirley. You COULD just say its friends...but Luccini really seems to like Shirley's chest. Hell, in the episode with the jet Striker, when Trude passes out against Shirley's chest, Luccini complains about "them being hers"...
- Shirley/Gertrud. They may butt heads quite a bit, but the way they do so always seems to come across as they are both married. They may disagree with how to fulfill and approach their duties as CO ranked witches but the himegoes do show that they can still recognize and respect each others abilities and even in the animated series shows that despite it all they still care about each other. The fact after Trudy passed out trying to use the jet striker to defeat a neuroi attacking the base and was saved by Shirley, and upon being saved was found nestling on and groping Shirley's bust shows hints of considerable shipping fuel. Shimada creating art of the two of them in civilian attire, arm in arm; certainly helped to encourage this and has reinforced both Shirley a Gertrud as popular, favored pairing as any of the other witches.
Brave Witches
- We're only one episode into Brave Witches and we already have a moment between the Karibuchi sisters, Hikari & Takami, when the two are bathing together, Hikari asks to see the scar underneath Takami's right breast and Hikari stares at it and then proceeds to touch it and Takami giggles saying that it tickles in reaction to it
