michiru's obsession over miko and miko warming up to her... i'm going insane
(they're probably baiting but i'm seeing a fair amount of official art centred around them both. still ongoing but i think they attend an all girls school so that lowers the chances of miko having a straight ending)
NO NEED TO ASK HE'S A SMOOTH OPERATORRRRRR
(poly rep the og mc and og ml were supposed to have a passionate love story but yeseo is added to the mix. honestly looks like christelle and cedric fighting over yeseo mostly but i do believe christelle and cedric also care about each other in their own way. i'm still reading the novel but it might also have an open ending left to interpretation when it comes to romance.)
is yujin really just a straight girl when she jumped out after areum falling out the window from the 4th floor???
(since romance isn't the main focus i can't tell whether the two guys in the main cast will become love interests but honestly areum has so much chemistry with yujin and yujin shows her explicit affection. idk for sure but i heard the author liked fanart of yujin x areum)
bro building his bisexual harem also can't forget how sung hyunje is trying to change the genre to bl...
(haven't started reading the novel yet so i can't say for sure if he ends up with anyone, but i have a feeling all his love interests will be left yearning for him bc he's only thought of wanting a future where his brother is safe and alive.)
a bit of a controversial addition but i think a lot of the cast are lgbts
(supposed to originally be bl? although it's a bit uncomfortable, there are lots of bait-y scenes between ciel and sebastian. idk if lizzy is alive or not but ciel doesn't show obvious romantic feelings.
grelle is DEFINITELY trans there is no other way around it. maybe bi as she's shown interest in madame red- she herself feels less straight and maybe more aroace spec? she just wanted her own child.)
never forget anasui was supposed to be a (perhaps cis) lesbian
(araki designed anasui and ff to be not restricted by gender btw. also jolyne is a lesbian in my eyes- comphet at it again for her ex... i honestly think ff felt like a love interest as well. there is no solid romantic relationship she has in the end but even if anasui and jolyne end up together i don't exactly see anasui as a man, more genderqueer/nonbinary than anything)
i know gelato/sorbet & squalo/tiziano are the obvious gays BUT LOOK AT ABBACCHIO AND HIS GAY YEARNING FOR BRUNO
(kind of the bury your gays trope at it again but giorno also doesn't seem remotely interested in women and it doesn't show an ending where giorno is in a straight relationship either. he also gives me aroace spec vibes, since he's only showed interest in his goals rather than his love life.)
josuke the type to kiss his homies goodnight
(literally shows no canon straight romance ending between josuke and a girl. it's just him and the bros.)
do u see these mfs
(BIG SPOILER! okay gyro dies but i swear johnny wouldn't have married a woman if he was still alive- it's shown in jojolion. i think they're both bisexual but they definitely had something special between them tbh.)
the bible forgot to say solomon was gay /j
(so i haven't finished reading this icl but it's feels like it's set up like a bl harem. there's no romance tag but it's still a possibility that mc ends up with a girl bc of the setting, although it would seem more shallow compared to the relationship he has with dantalion.)

more, no bxg endgame
i'm slowly adding more as i go thru what i've read (not all are complete tho). i'll also mention where there are romantic relationships but i'm including ones that have characters i think are on the aroace spectrum or feel trans/nonbinary
