Quote from starfield
Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet(or maybe it has and I didn't read it...), but
Adekan is
extremely subtextual
Adekan was mentioned a couple pages back, and yes -- I also agree that there's a good deal of subtext in it. And it's definitely intentional. Well, the mangaka herself admitted in one of her freetalks that she wanted to write something completely different from her usual (shoujo with female leads + het romance)
Tiger and Bunny is something I stumbled across quite by accident when I wanted to watch a mecha but couldn't find any popular ones that weren't ecchi. Whoever writes the 'Ho-yay' section for the TVTropes site sure knows how to make a mountain out of a molehill, though!
But slashy or no, the show is a ton of fun to watch. Kind of a pity there's only gonna be 15 eps - but it's a low-budget deal anyway so even that much is quite a feat.
To add, I was surprised by the level of subtext in
Kimi ga Kimi de Aru Tameni. Definitely wasn't expecting it.
And
Hanamatsuri is just subtext-laden, despite being tagged as shounen-ai. The series description says it all.
And to clarify on
Toxic, which was mentioned by tartufo a while back; it's not really all that slashy. There are some characters who're obviously not straight, but they're all totally uncool bad guys so I don't think the fangirls will be too pleased
Edit - @calstine; I'm glad to find someone else who thinks Barnaby is good-looking. I was wondering whether it was just my glasses-boy fetish or not
