YuuRam

YuuRam is the slash ship between Yuuri Shibuya and Wolfram von Bielefelt from the Kyou Kara Maou! fandom.

Canon
Anime: Wolfram dislikes Yuuri right away upon his arrival in the demon Kingdom. When Cäcilie von Spitzweg leaves a special perfume in Yuri's bath which increases the feelings people have for its wearer (good or bad), Wolfram snaps and insults Yuuri's mother. Yuuri slaps him in response, saying that Wolfram can say what he wants about him but insulting his mother is unforgiveable. The others present ask him to take it back but Yuuri refuses.

Once it's clear that Yuri will not take back what he's done, they explain that slapping someone across the face is a proposal of marriage in the demon kingdom. Wolfram, even more outraged, challenges Yuuri to a duel to defend his honor. Yuuri accidentally accepts and faces off with Wolfram the next day. Yuuri is allowed to define the type of competition and quickly wins, but Wolfram draws his sword and eventually attacks Yuuri with magic. Yuuri responds by using his own magic for the first time and beats Wolfram on all fronts.

Though Yuuri is vocally unwilling to marry Wolfram, they remain engaged in all versions of media.

Fanon
The Fandom impression is that YuuRam is more popular in the west and ConYuu is more popular in the east. As the series is somewhat old, it's difficult to quantify what might have existed in the series' heyday. On Fanfiction.net YuuRam is the obvious victor in popularity: YuuRam makes up over 2000 fanfics of the series' total 5000 while ConYuu accounts for only 345. On AO3 it's 763 to 198. ConYuu's popularity in the east is supported by comparing the コンユ and ユヴォ/ヴォルユ tags on pixiv (596 for ConYuu vs 394 for the combined YuuRam/WolfYuu tags) in September of 2022; however, the fanlore page has different numbers for the total of works. A comparison of results on second-hand doujin site suruga-ya found 897 ConYuu Doujinshi and 363 YuuRam Doujinshi. Toranoana, the most popular website for the sale of new doujinshi, has 41 doujinshi for the series total: 36 ConYuu, 4 GwenYuu, and 1 gen.
