Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Natsume Yuujinchou: Natsume and Natori. In one episode of the anime, Natori asks Natsume to go to the hot springs with him, and shows up at his house with a bouquet of roses. It does not help that Natori is voiced by Akira Ishida, who voiced characters known for their Ho Yay like Kaworu Nagisa from Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fisheye from Sailor Moon and Xerxes Break from Pandora Hearts.
Same episode - Natori mentions to Natsume that if constantly lying to his foster family about the Youkai ever becomes too difficult, he can always come to him (please note, their futons are right next to each other at the time.)
Though taken another way (given that Natori had just been asking whether Natsume was happy with his foster parents), this has completely different connotations.
In the first episode of Zoku, Natsume commented on the Lord Youkai he had recently freed as being really cute.
And in terms of the Les Yay there's Hinoe's outright adoration and utter devotion to Reiko, her dislike of men (it's of great annoyance to her that Takashi Natsume looks so much like her Reiko yet is male), and her distraught reaction at hearing of Reiko's death, all which are anything but subtle.
Matoba/Natsume; though this could also enter Foe Yay territory. The second episode of the fourth season ramps it up by having Matoba invade Natsume's private space as he inches in on Natsume and practically whispers in his ear, in a "I have you now my pretty" manner. He also seems to enjoy grabbing Natsume by the wrist. And in the manga, he claims that he has written an "uncharacteristically long letter" to Natsume in attempt to persuade him to join the Matoba clan.
Tanuma/Natsume; In a humorous scene ( Season 3, Episode 10 ), both awkwardly blush and smile at each other as the background turns a shoujo manga pink.
