I can agree with you there, in that female friendship is a rarity. I think it actually continues to be, though. I'm the sort of person who thinks that slashing every male friendship cheapens friendship, and I despise the idea that two guys being nice and considerate towards each other means there's some hot gay sex on the horizon. Imagine how I feel about a genre flooded with girl+girl friendship where you don't even need shipper goggles. All that subtext is intentional. These girls are alllll in love with other girls. And it's taken so matter of fact that it feels like they're trying to imply that female friendship can only be romantic. I'm a thousand times for representation, but there's nothing progressive about waifish highschoolers gently touching boobs so old men in Japan can get off.

The thing is, I do feel that there is an inherently more intimate nature to true female friendship that really deserves to be explored. Without sexualizing it. It's like they don't know how to not take it too far.
