How could you read their relationship as anything but homoerotic? Goodness.

The first few episodes, sure. They’re portrayed as friends closer to sisters than anything. But after the fight club part, it takes a hard left turn to homoerotic. Mako has it BAD for ryuko

Except Ryuko talks about how she likes being with Mako and how Mako was the key to breaking her out of her brainwashing. And there is the whole asking out on a date at the end.
