NAYRT - From Wikipedia: "Queerbaiting is the practice of hinting at, but then not actually depicting, a same-sex romantic relationship between characters in a work of fiction, mainly in film or television. The potential romance may be ignored, explicitly rejected or made fun of."

Given previous anon's examples, there's some pretty damn big "hints", especially regarding Haru and Ayame. Shigure and Akito is definitely a bait-and-switch because regardless of what the overall plan was or even the genre conventions, the readers were still led to believe it was a same-sex relationship until the reveal.
