While Word of God has shot down the possibility of romance in the series, that didn't prevent it from having it's fair share of moments of subtext and teasing between Akko and several peers.
- Ship-teasing is parodied in Episode 10 with a bee that causes anyone it stings to fall in love with whomever they see immediately afterward. The bee stings two characters (Andrew Hanbridge and Diana Cavendish), causing them to fall for protagonist Akko until the bee's spell is broken. It also stings Andrew's friend Frank, who falls for Akko's friend Lotte, and for added hilarity stings Diana again so that she ends up falling in love with her own reflection. In keeping with the true spirit of the trope, though, both Andrew and Frank have some lingering affection for their respective love target after the spell is broken.
- While Akko and Diana started off antagonistic towards each other, they slowly developed a close and caring friendship with each other over the course of the series, which has resulted in several moments of slight teasing between the two.
- Of course, there's the aforementioned Episode 10, in which Diana downright confesses her love to Akko under the Cupid Bee's influence, as shown in the image above.
- After walking towards each other, Akko and Diana are shown to briefly hold hands in the second opening.
- Official artwork posted on the series' Twitter account following the airing of episode 20
has Diana blushing while Akko is hugging her from behind as they ride the broom back to Luna Nova. - One official piece of artwork◊ done for episode 19 features Akko and Diana with the former coming out with an outfit that leaves Diana looking quite stunned.
- In a meta manner, Megumi Han says that if Akko needs romantic development, "she already has Diana and Ursula anyway". Han said this after Yoh Yoshinari remarked that that the current relationship between Akko and Andrew is a "sort of a playful guy-guy relationship" by the end of the series after the initial plan of having them end up together was scrapped by Yoshinari.
- In the final episode. The two briefly smile at each other, and then hold hands again shortly before destroying the Noir Rod. On top of that, the series' guidebook, Little Witch Academia: Chronicle, also states that their hearts were in total sync at that moment. Make of that what you will.
- In the final few minutes of the show, as Croix is about to sent off to magic jail, she promises to find a cure for Wagandea's curse before she returns to Luna Nova. Chariot spends the entire scene looking rather distressed that Croix is about to leave, and ends up calling after her that she will wait for Croix's return, before wistfully repeating it to herself afterwards.
- Episode 8 indicates that Sucy might have a crush on Akko since she considers her meeting Akko to be her most treasured memory.
- It teases Akko/Sucy near the end, when Akko (almost) decides to revive/wake Sucy up by drinking all the potions and giving them to Sucy via mouth-to-mouth. Akko wonders about giving Sucy her first kiss but shrugs it off, saying it won't count because they're friends. Dragon-Sucy, on the other hand, reacts to this idea with heart-eyes.
- While plans of Akko and Andrew becoming an Official Couple were scrapped early on in favor of them being friends instead, Akko and Andrew do still have a few teasing scenes together in a couple of episodes, largely in Episode 10.
- When Akko runs out into the night after the bee debacle, she finds Andrew, free of the bee's spell, bowing under the pressure of his father, admitting out loud that he'd stopped playing the piano because he'd been told to. She chastises Andrew on his cowardice, and as the fountain she's walking on lights her eyes up, emphasizes how no matter the obstacle, she has a dream to become a brilliant witch just like Chariot, and Andrew's shown to be mesmerized. He then tells her she's beautiful, and she blushes and looks away in in a Tsundere manner, huffing, "Those aren't your true feelings! You're under a spell!" to which he reacts quizzically, right before the bee reappears.
- After they take care of the wandering bee, Frank and Andrew hang out outside together, and despite his shooting down the idea, Frank says out loud for him, "But you're intrigued by her, right?"
- Lotte and Sucy also tease Akko about Andrew, with Lotte asking if she was happy being pursued by a prince, and Akko denying it plausibly, but not totally.
- In the beginning of Episode 21, during a car-ride, Frank teases Andrew on if he has fallen in love with Akko after the latter asked the former about contacting her, which Andrew promptly denies and clarifies that he was just bringing her hat back to her.
- One promotional artwork for episode 17 by key animator Takafumi Hori, has Amanda and Akko in a bit of an intimate pose.
