Both.

I wrote my first story Bintik-Bintik Setan (Devil Dots) in kindergarten.

Sure.

6) Where is your favourite place to write?

Nah, anywhere is fine.

7) Favourite childhood book?

“Travel to Wonderland” or something, can’t remember the title. The cover is like a suitcase. Illustrated book about humans, elves, fairies, and talking animals.

I also liked Harry Potter and Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven.

Harry Potter. I remember the feeling, though I can’t remember which book in the series that made me feel it. I remember thinking, wow, I want to write stuff like this.

I’m supposed to post 5 and tag 10 but I’m too lazy to tag people and spent my time browsing to my Goodreads/MyAnimeList/MyDramaList.info account while reminiscing about the OTPs.....

...and end up listing this many.

Honda Yuu x Okishima Youko (Ai no Mukidashi)

A pair with sorta twisted love. That last scene when they reached for each other’s hands.

 Oujirou Sera x Hayakawa Kairi (Love Shuffle)

Kairi is attracted to Death and Oujirou brings her closer to Life. The greatest thing love can do.

 Noh x Pun (Love Sick The Series)

Instead of characterization or writing, I ship this because CHEMISTRY.

 Touma Saya x Sebumi Takeru (SPEC)

Not necessarily romantic. After THAT ending, don’t tell me that they’re not soulmates.

 Okitegami Kyouko x Kakushidate Yakusuke (Okitegami Kyouko no Bibouroku)

Her memory resets when she sleeps and in the last episode she refuses to forget him.

“Even if you forget over and over, I will keep calling your name.”

“Next time we meet, please woo me again from the start.”

 Adachi Momo x Okayasu Kairi (Peach Girl)

“I want to make you happy,” she said. Love that makes one wants to make others happy. Beautiful.

 Irie Naoki x Aihara Kotoko (Itazura na Kiss, any version)

I’m a sucker for them. Even though Irie is a heartless bastard, even though Kotoko is annoyingly illogical. Exactly because of their imperfections, and how they complete each other.

 Yamada Miiko x Eguchi Tappei (Kocchi Muite Miiko!)

That cat-dog relationship that makes you go “UGH JUST GET TOGETHER ALREADY” + adorableness of elementary school kids.

 Isaac Dian x Miria Harvent (Baccano!)

Choosing one pairing from Baccano! is an almost impossible task, but gotta give it to these two “mascot” characters. THAT ARC WHEN ISAAC WENT TO JAIL AND MIRIA CRIED. MIRIA. CRYING.

 Kurata Sana x Hayama Akito (Kodomo no Omocha)

To be honest, I don’t really remember the story, but I remember being impressed by how Sana and Akito make each other grow as a person.

 Haru Glory x Elie (Rave)

After all they’ve been through, that wedding was SO SATISFYING TO WITNESS.

 Sakura (clone) x Syaoran (clone) (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle)

Fuck the real ones. Seriously. Fuck them. The clones doesn’t deserve—FUCK THE REAL ONES.

 Ichihara Yuuko x Watanuki Kimihiro (xxxHolic)

Definitely not romantic. They’re more.

 Saiounji Kanata x Kouzuki Miyu (Daa! Daa! Daa!)

Amazingly more mature version of Irie Kanata and Aihara Kotoko, despite the story is about them (high school students) raising an alien baby.

 Sagara Sousuke x Chidori Kaname (Full Metal Panic!)

The story involves world war, terrorists, and giant robots. But at the end of the day, it’s about boy meets girl.

The last sentence of the novel, said by the young man who grew up as a child soldier and has lived almost all of his life as mercenary, “As long as there is you, I don’t need weapons.”

 Fujiwara no Sai x Shindou Hikaru (Hikaru no Go)

Not romantic!! No!! But!! OH MY GOD

 Kitamura Kou x Tsukishima Aoba (Cross Game)

Childhood friends that knows each other’s worst. He’s her dead sister’s love interest (and vice versa). They work on it and make them happen.

 Lelouch Lamperouge x C.C. (Code Geass)

Just because. Also, fuck Shirley just because.

 Kougami Shinya x Tsunemori Akane (Psycho Pass)

I went through all that mess of first season even though I knew well that there wouldn’t be any romantic scene in this grotesque chaos because Kougane. Sometimes the most exciting ship doesn’t go on dates, say “I love you”s, or get involved in anything remotely romantic.

 Zwei x Ein (Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom)

They fill each other’s blanks.

 Ryougi Shiki x Kokutou Mikiya (Kara no Kyoukai)

Mad respect to Mikiya. Loving Shiki is no easy feat.

Iwashiro Tesshou x Senou Mika (Wild Life)

Winning couple from a satisfying love triangle drama. And it’s not even a romance manga.

 Cas x Anna (Anna Dressed in Blood)

When I Made My Blog: can’t remember

Followers: 63

Reasons Behind My URL: Inspired by a one-episode drama special ”Rinne no Ame” which means “Reincarnation Rain”. Also the word tsubasa (wings) has been a part of my childhood (Captain Tsubasa, Tsubasa Chronicle) and I used to have a fascination towards flying and air elements (I think it’s because of W.I.T.C.H)
