What type of shoujo-ai pairings are the best?
| Feminine girl x Masculine girl. I actually like wolf-girls and tomboys in a yuri couple, it spices the relationship up. |
| It doesn't matter at all to me. I like variety. :) My favorite lesbian couple is Haruka and Michiru, but I wouldn't say that I have a preference for lesbian couples comprised of a "butch" and "femme." My focus is more on the personality of the characters, and not so much their physical appearance or gender. |
| My favorite pairing is Mireille and Kirika from Noir. Its hard to say exactly what category they fit though. They both show feminine qualities to their character at various points in the show. At the same time Noir tends to defy gender stereotypes, and casts both of them in the more masculine roles of warrior and protector as an ongoing part of the story. I would say that their relationship is one of equals, and the traditional roles of masculine/feminine doesn't really apply to Noir. |
| Fem x Fem! You don't see that in the real world. Oh well, what do I know? I don't see yuri at all! :( Anyway, I think I've never watched/read any anime/manga where both girls are shy. |

| I personally like both types. Masculine/Feminine looking it's all good to me. However, my favorite dynamic is 'the tease' + 'exasperated target.' The tease is always messin' around with her target, while the target is constantly trying to get her to knock it off. Sometimes the target teases back when the opportunity arises throwing the tease off guard a bit. They probably engage in playful banter quite a bit as well. I find this awfully adorable and I think it's partly because I'm 'the tease' in real life. :P |
| As long as it's romance written goodly, I'm fine with all kinds of shoujo-ai! But it seems that Japanese anime and manga prefer portraying romance between two feminine girls. And if the girl is masculine, she is usually good at sports and is very cheerful. Maybe there could be more works in creating characters that break the stereotypes, e.g. masculine girls who like to be quiet and stay in (just like me lol), as well as feminine girls who like sports? |
