Zellina (jp.ゼルリナ, zerurina) or Zel/Lina is the pairing of Zelgadis Greywords and Lina Inverse in the Slayers fandom.
Fandom
During the heyday of Slayers in the early 2000s, there were plenty of active sites, web-rings and forums devoted to this ship. Since then, the number of shippers has decreased significantly and many fan-made content has been deleted lost forever within fan-sites. Now it seems active sippers remained only among the Japanese fandom
It is noteworthy that among the Slayers fans of South Korea and the post-Soviet countries[1], it was one of the popular pairings at some point. Perhaps because of the cultural perception of the couples behavior оr maybe fans discovered the Slayers through "Chōbaku Madōden Slayers" manga or light-novels.
