The irony, it buuuuuurns

As I said in that post I made when I read the Magic Knight Rayearth manga, I happen to like Clef/Presea. I'm not exactly sure why, though. They've completely different personalities, and Clef doesn't seem interested in her in any canon -I understood they had Presea fallen in love with him in the anime, and so was her Sue twin sister, but I can't find manga proofs of those feelings yet.

I don't know, they look cute. And they are friends, you know.

And this is weird, as visually speaking this couple has a fat Eriol/Kaho parallel -couple I don't hate like Eriol/Tomoyo but can't exactly approve of, since I have a bias towards Kaho. Clef and Eriol are older than they look like, are wise and crafty magicians, and are trapped in a kid's body. Kaho and Presea physically resemble each other, although the latter is way dorkier. Unlike Kaho, I truly like Presea, and I'm happy they didn't kill her in the manga.

However, the fandom prefers Clef/Umi because the anime is stupid and gave some hints on Umi liking him or something. Haven't seen it all, not sure. Hence, Clef/Umi is, like, the Eriol/Tomoyo of MKR. Fanon liek whoa, and unrealistic in canon terms. Clef won't look at Umi-chan that way, never.

Sadly, Clef/Presea is not exactly the Eriol/Kaho, considering it's not canon either. And probably fanits hate Presea because she's "the competition."

Anyway, my point is this. I was reading a Presea profile today, and I was both amused and freaked out when I realized her seiyuu is Shinohara Emi. Why is that, you ask?

She shares seiyuu with Kaho.

And moreover, Clef? His seiyuu is Sasaki Nozomu. That's Eriol's.

...I'm speechless. The irony is strong in this pairing.
