Not trying to offend anyone here but it annoys me a little when fans set up the lead girls together, when there is really no romance implied to begin with! I just shake my head and go "what is wrong with the them being close friends?!", people have to believe there is something more there.
I have not seen PGSM but in the manga, Rei and Minako were close friends. In Stars, they agreed to not attach themselves to a man - not because they were in love with each other but because they wanted to completely devote themselves to the protection of their princess.
Rei and Usagi had an amazing friendship in the anime and it was always touching. But there were no hints at their friendship ever being romantic or sexual. They had a very sisterly bond.
But I think the Chibiusa and Hotaru pairing bothers me the most. They are little children and their friendship was so completely innocent and pure. Chibiusa making the effort to become friends with Hotaru was so sweet and full of good intentions. Why would anyone want to turn their friendship into a relationship?! I just do not understand.
I hope that Michiru and Haruka have a beautiful romance if the new anime ever goes into the S season. But I do not want to see any other senshi pair ups, unless it involves Seiya's crush on Usagi. I like the main team to be friends, no romantic tensions needed. But that is just me.
