Who are your favorite characters of Kyou Kara Maoh? Do you have any ships?
Hello! Yes, I have many characters I deeply love, but being honest I like all characters in this series. Even bad guys or irrelevant ones, because everyone of them have interesting aspects or developments haha.
My top is Yuuri and Wolf, it’s hard to decide who I love more, don’t make me choose. It’s like asking Greta "do you like better dad or daddy?” XDDD They’re my main OTP, and I consider them very canon in the novel/manga/musical verse. They’re the most cute family ever.
Then, there’s Josak, who I started loving super deeply when I read more and more about him in the latest timeline, novels and specials. And following him, there’s Gwendal. Josak x Gwendal is my guilty pleasure, I consider Gwen and Anissina one of the most canon pairing of this series so I just can’t break that (and I like the pairing a lot), but he and Josak have such an interesting relationship that I just can’t help it haha. My headcanon is Josak having a crush on him since they meet. This is super weird if you’re accustomed to the anime, because by far Conrart x Josak is the most popular/expected pairing along fans, the thing is, in the novels Conrart is kind of an ass with Josak in one of te specials and they had so many conflicts in the main novels that I just don’t see that happening like ever. In contrast, Josak’s relationship with Gwendal is really close, as a subordinate/boss but also at a personal level.
Since Gwen is taken, and confirmed as straight, I ended up pairing Josak with Murata. And this is actually my secondary OTP in this series haha. They have a good relationship in the novels, they share a sense of humor and intelligence, they’re both trolls and like mocking other chars in a silly way, and there’s some plot drama between them which makes their relationship more interesting. I would love to see more about them together in the novels, it seems Josak is the best aid for Murata plot wise so they’ll develop more (damn hiatus), but in this case it was the manga the one who provided. Temari-sensei seems to pair them, or that was my impression when the amount of images of them together, touching, hugging and things like that increased in the latest chapters hahaha. She sold me the pairing, honestly it was the manga what made me start thinking about them together and then everything fit perfectly in the novel canon. Murata is also one of my favorite characters, and the one which I relate the most at a personal level. So, yes, Joken for the win.
Besides that, I support the idea of Chevallier x Cherie in the future, if that becomes canon I’m super ok with it. It could also be fun, because Gwen met/approved the guy and a 4th marriage could bring some funny family-chaos moments with the three brothers. So, yes, Chevallier is a super ok. Then, there’s Fanfan, her current boyfriend/lover. But I do love to think about him being a bad guy and I sense that relationship is not going to work in the end if the boxes and war trading is involved in all this. Deep plot issues with this guy, he’s not bad but I don’t really see him lasting long as a potential stable partner for her.
Another pairing that’s canon and I support a lot is Adalbert x Julia. Super sad ending, but lovely couple, they loved each other so much and it’s super cute. Then, in the present timeline, I like the idea of Adalbert x Maxine with the shinzoku twins Jason and Freddy as adopted daughters. It’s just great, Adalbert cooking for his family and taking care of everyone xD Super cute. Also, it’s great for Maxine’s development, who improved incredibly in all these volumes, so extra points for that. Side note, T-sensei supports Machopony!
Even if Dacascos divorced once or twice, I support him with his wife Amblin. Go Dacascos! xD They have a daughter to take care of too.
Some time ago I though about Conrart x Gisela, but she’s too lesbian for that haha. She need an awesome girlfriend but there’s no one to pair her with.
Shouri x Abby seems possible too, there’s not much development and the girl is crazy, but well, it’s ok if it happens. If I have to pick a less-favorite character, I would pick Shouri, then her XD so I’m not very interesting in their love life haha.
So, Conrart and the maidmer cracks me up to no end, but let’s admit it was heartwarming when he felt touched she would laugh at his jokes. One of my fav romantic scenes haha. She was good girlfriend material, you were right Conrart.
And I think that’s it? I’m not sure, there’s so many chars and possibilities haha.
