Fyi, if you ever thought I liked (a) certain character/s in manga series you are absolutely wrong. I only do that for books and actors and models. When it comes to manga and anime, I only like pairings, because the characters are almost always crappy without their other half/halves.
I for example, refuse to read Naruto if Sasuke were to disappear.
I will also boycott D. Gray-man if Kanda Yuu and Lavi dies.
I would have hated to read Kuroshitsuji where the Butler is dead (but he's immortal...)
And of course, Hikaru no Go would have been boring if they didn't have Touya Jr.
So yeah, PAIRINGS.
I just thought of this pointless post while browsing through hetalia fanart (nyuuuu! where have all the nice ones goneeee? why no updaaaaate?!) and so, here I am, and my attempted list of preferred pairings. If you research them, you will realise one very very very very very very disturbing fact. I'll leave it to you to discover what.
In the order of whichever coming to mind first/series:
Russia/China, Uk/China, China+SKorea (crack, family),
China+Hk+Uk (family), China+Japan (family),
Uk/Japan, America/Japan, Uk/Japan/America (sobs.) America/Uk, Uk+Hk+China (family), Germany/Prussia,
Germany/SItaly,
Russia/Lithuania, France/Uk, Turkey/Greece, Greece/Japan; Hikaru/Akira, Isumi/Waya; Harry/Draco, Draco/Hermione,
Nobody/Ron (ha.); Stoicshipping, Prideshipping, Puzzleshipping, Tendershipping; Ciel/Sebastian; Kanda/Lavi, Lavi/Lenalee;
Naruto/Sasuke, Naruto/Hinata, Kiba/Hinata, Neji/TenTen, Gaara/Lee (fluff), Shika/Ino, Itachi+Sasuke (mindgames ftw. Family.),
Sasori/Deidara, Hidan/Kakuzu; Kaoru/Haruhi, Hikaru/Haruhi, Kaoru/Haruhi/Hikaru (love triangle!), Tamaki/Haruhi, Tamaki/Kyoya;
Suzaku/Lelouch; Riff/Cain, Cassain/Jizabel, Jizabel/Cain; Hao/Yoh, Hao/Anna, Yoh/Anna, Lyserg/Hao, Ren/Hao;
Lestat/Louis, Marius/Armand, Daniel/Armand, Marius/Pandora,
Lestat+Claudia+Louis (family), Louis+Claudia (family); Alucard/Integra; Rosette/Chrno; Doumeki/Watanuki;
Subaru/Seishirou; Kamui/Fuuma, Sorata/Arashi; Kurogane/Fai; Syaoran/Sakura; Kazahaya/Rikuo ...
Series involved in order of appearance:
Axis Powers Hetalia; Hikaru No Go; Harry Potter; Yu-Gi-Oh!; D. Gray-man; Naruto; Ouran High School Host Club; Code Geass; Count Cain: Godchild; Shaman King; The Vampire Chronicles; Hellsing; Chrno Crusade; xxxHOLiC/Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle; Tokyo Babylon/X; X/Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle; Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle; Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle/Cardcaptor Sakura; Legal Drug/Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
That's a lot of series, but I suspect there's more, like Blaue Rosen...
You know, I'm sure there're more. I just can't think of it yet.
And if you're wondering about the whole list of countries, don't be alarmed, they are merely the countries of the character is from. I'm just too lazy to go find their given names, and since I always refer to them by country, it doesn't matterrr~
The CLAMP series that appear are overlapping, which makes it irritating to list. Tokyo Babylon is intrinsically linked to X (alternately named X/1999) for the characters Subaru and Seishirou, because otherwise you cannot even begin to comprehend the way they interact. X is also linked to Tsubasa Reservoir in the fact that all four characters (Subaru, Seishirou, Fuuma and Kamui) appear in one of the story arcs (coincidentally) also in Tokyo. Or course, I get a good laugh out of the whole Subaru/Kamui as brothers and Fuuma/Seishirou as brothers thing.
the ukes are brothers and the semes too You probably won't remember seeing Rikuo and Kazahaya in Tsubasa cause they appeared for like... one frame? Yeah, but they appeared, so once again, series overlap. Irritating isn't it?
The bolded ones are specific favourites.
Unless otherwise specified, these are romantic pairings.
My fingers itched, so I decided to add in the book pairings too.
Have you realised what is the disturbing part yet?
