The Devil Lady ep3-5
Perhaps I’ve just become so used to anime series framing characters in such a way as to fuel fan shipping without seriously intending to follow through on it, but it struck me as a bit out of nowhere that one of the villains taunts protagonist Jun about being sexually interested in her fellow model Kazumi, especially considering that she has far more chemistry (albeit in sadomasochistic fashion) with sneering, callous government agent Asuka. In the past I’ve accused Konaka of not being able to write convincing character interactions; maybe it‘s just that he‘s not good at writing relationships that don’t feel horribly messed up.
