^ I'd admit that those pairings look weird for me as well when I started watching the anime, but that's because LL anime heavily promoted the 'main' pairings (you know, NozoEri, NicoMaki, KotoUmi). In manga, diaries and drama CDs there are huge difference, although still promoting the main pairings, they reveal possibilities in crack pairings as well: e.g. EriNico, MakiPana, EriPana, UmiMaki, KotoRin (not your username), you name it.
Don't take me wrong, I still ship the main pairings (who wouldn't, EriNozo should get married already), but other pairings are also adorable and shippable in my opinion.
LL diaries are just so great... If anyone's looking for yuri stuff, I'd say LL manga and diaries have plenty.
