More Kyou Kara Maou 'watch this anime' propaganda.
This is, indeed, a BDSM queen. All about free love. She loves beautiful things and considers herself a protector of women and children.
This is all the same dude. He's a spy and genuinely enjoys cross dressing [he is not in fact, the queerest character in this series].
WOMEN IN STEM. This lady is a mad scientist and hella queer coded [AND a feminist, in an early 00s anime!]
Least we forget our [probably autistic] baseball-loving protagonist with an insane sense of justice. He can also transform into a cool, super-powered form that lets him bend the elements to his will. Though this form tends to speak like an old samurai lord out of one of those period films.
He's at the center of this very shoujo reverse harem shonen-ai situation. Things never get explicit [this came out in 2004] but the light novels are gayer [and so is the manga].
