I like yaoi as much as the next fangirl, but I don't get much of a yaoi or shounen-ai vibe from this particular series or see why there necessarily should be. I don't think that every anime needs to have yaoi or shounen-ai in it as canon, actually. If that's something that's important to you, there are other anime that fit the bill.
And I find that several of the female characters in this series are actually interesting and seem to add to the plot, so they wouldn't really be 'useless.' I don't want to be argumentative, but I don't understand why some people [in general in this fandom, not necessarily you] seem to want to demean or belittle female characters mainly because they don't fit into a preferred ship. Why can't we just enjoy the anime and characters for what they are, and then write/draw what appeals to us later?
