Historyday01 (talk | contribs) decided to WP:BOLD, and merge everything, except for some uncited entries, in from List of lesbian characters in anime; whether this needs to be cut down later (I did some cleanup with this merger) can be discussed on the talk page. Used similar collapsible parameters which were used on List of fictional trans characters page. |

Tomo then starts to have doubts and regrets about her confession to Ai and hence, tries to inform Ai otherwise. However, Ai refrains her from doing so and states that she should give her some time to think and that no matter who confesses to her, she would still feel the same way. As the train passes by, Tomo expresses her love for her once again much to Ai's embarrassment. |

Ayako accepts, hoping that Satomi will entertain her. At first, Ayako seems to have the advantage, confusing Satomi with her swift, graceful movements. She uses her fan's hidden blade to cut away at Satomi's clothing, then plants a kiss on her cheek when the other girl attempts to close in on her.
