This is an Ikuni anime. Gayness is expected.
Reo and Mabu
- Reo and Mabu, ironically the (former) "Magic Knights" of this particular Ikuhara anime, were once deeply beloved to each other...but by the beginning of Sarazanmai, they're falling apart. Flashbacks slowly reveal their importance to one another, eventually leading to painful revelations about what happened between them.
Kazuki and Enta
- Episode 3's secret reveal is basically Enta showing how gay he is for Kazuki. Besides the kiss in episode 2, Enta has also sniffed Kazuki's soccer jersey and sucked on the mouthpiece of his recorder. Even before that, in episode 1, Enta's betrayal at Kazuki quitting the soccer team, his insistence on the strength of their friendship, even how quickly and easily he accepts Kazuki's hobby was all... very telling.
Kazuki and Tooi
- In episode 2, Kazuki (who is again Disguised in Drag) and Tooi are chasing Nyantaro the cat through an amusement park, and they have to pretend to be a couple and hold hands the whole time or they'll get kicked out.
- Episode 4 shows Kazuki being rather touchy with Tooi, such as hugging him and sweetly asking him to kidnap Sara.
- Additionally, Tooi blushes when he sees how beautifully Kazuki eats his soba.
- Episode 7 and 8 appear to be pushing for more Ship Tease between the couple, with The Reveal of them meeting before, Kazuki's desperation to prevent Tooi from leaving, and Tooi clearly hoping for Kazuki to remember they have met. He's also shown to cry when he lashes out at Enta, something he doesn't normally do outside of overwhelming emotions focusing on himself.
- On some magazine cover, All of Sarazanmai characters cosplay as Alice in Wonderland characters. While we see that MadHatter!Reo holds hands with March Hare!Mabu, we can also see that Cheshire Cat!Toi with his two hands holds Alice!Sara-Kazuki's shoulder and arm.
Tooi and Enta
- The SNS promotional conversations imply that Tooi likes to hang out with Enta more than he lets on:
- When Kazuki couldn't make it to one event on Enta's birthday, Tooi ended up coming early to meet up with Enta and even gives him free tickets to his family's soba shop. Mind you, that last part happens the day afterwards, saying that he totally forgot and it would be a hassle to hand them over that day.
- The final conversation has Tooi secretly take a picture of Enta while they got a bite to eat (then presenting it in a context where it wouldn't be suspicious), and the photo itself features an Enta themed dessert placed in front of where Tooi should be sitting.
- It should also be noted that all three photos Toi is shown to have taken all focus on Enta (with only one including Kazuki), and for Enta's photos after the first half, all of them exclusively contain Toi.
- One of the On the Next previews has Enta happily bragging about how he knows about "all kinds of kisses" to a surprised and embarrassed Tooi.
