Posted by Nina on 7/20/2003, 3:15 am, in reply to "What is Couple-ing? (K) " When the YST was first on air in 1988, the most popular couples were said to be "ShinXRyo" and "ToumaXShuu". At the end of the year, "SeijiXTouma" becomes the most popular. It is said that more than 70% of all comic market circles were SeijiXTouma at the time. At the same time, most couples involved Shuu decreased...not because of a decrease of Shuu's fans, but because the wishes of most doujinshi authors to keep Shuu 'Normal'. The most popular normal couples are "SeijiXNasti". "ShutenXNasuti" and "ToumaXKayura" usually appears as secondary couple-ings. Masho usually appears as secondary characters only in most doujinshi. The most popular couples involves a masho are "AnubisXSeiji" and "ShutenXRyo", then "RajuraXShuu", then "NaazaXShin". The most popular Masho only couples are "RajuraXAnubis", "RajuraXShuten"... Currently, "SeijiXTouma" probably still holds the largest YST doujin population. "ShinXRyo" are usually a secondary couple-ing for "SeijiXTouma" or "ToumaXSeiji" cycles (but it is also a major couple-ing itself). But other couples have die hard fans as well, such as "ToumaXSeiji", "ToumaXShin", "ToumaXRyo","SeijiXRyo" Remember, I did NOT read all the doujinshi (- -, I hope I could, however), so that I cannot say that all the info here is accurate. In addition, because personally I am a fan of Seiji, and a fan of ToumaXSeiji, my info maybe biased accordingly.
