Hahaha, or maybe I'm just projecting my own desire to have made it with one of my high school teachers. Unless, of course, Hanje is actually a man.

Remember. . . we are not judging you, Tausendberg. . . . ^ ^,

Seriously, when blathering that I limited my discourse on the relationship between Ymir and Crista/Historia remembering some Anonymous poster bitching about a potentially "lesbian" relationship and what that would do to The Children and all of that. He was particularly butt-hurt that the Attack High School series seemed to make it much more obvious.

I think the author is not that interested in "going there" as in depicting this. The manga and anime are rather "earthy" in that, for example, Levi makes a number of scatalogical sneers to Hanje which she/he/whatever picks up on. Hitch is teased as basically sleeping her way into the Military Police and she, in turn, teases Marlowe about being alone with her. Similarly is the scene between Reiner and Ymir where she needles him when he catches her alone and he sort of confesses that he is not interested in girls as she is not interested in men. Blah. . . blah. . . blah. . . and I am sure the Two Lovers who tragically die--but live on in Attack High School!--probably did more than play Parcesi together in the baracks. I could blather on about the other "love interests," but I do not think the author is interested in depicting any of them. Which is, in my mind, a "good thing" because we are left to wonder what, say, Levi really thought about Petra, for example.
