how i got into it i just answered in the last ask (sorry, they literally just sent it 🤣)... as for pairing...
hmmmm.... when i think about it, it's like this...
i mentioned it in the last ask, but before i got into uma this year, i liked looking at fanart of makuiku, shakafai, gorumaku... i lost interest in gorumaku when i got into uma but i still like the former two a lot.
i also liked beruguru and rudosiri (i had an interest in the former two because i still thought gurunee had her misandrist setting, i heard dober admired her, i liked both of them... i also had interest in sirius because i will follow fairouz ai until the day i die.)
when i got into uma i almost got into curreaya, but it slipped past, i just think it's cute but i'm not interested that much (lord kanaloa entered my life...)
but the existence of nakajoda permanently tethered me to the series. i'm sorry. this answer was so long wided for no reason. it's nakajoda. the answer was always nakajoda. it's nakajoda. thank you.
