In doujins coupling characters from a show off, the characters are usually
referred to in the title as " _Character A_ **x** _Character B_ "

(I feel this snippet from hanagai! explains it better)

Is there any meaning to the order of the 'multiplying'?

Is the first character mentioned the main character, more dominant,
alphabetically first, randomly chosen or something else?

question
tropes doujinshi
What order are couplings like 'CharAxCharB' in?


The first one is the dominant one a.k.a. seme while the second one is the
receiver a.k.a. uke. For example in doujinshi Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Doujinshi Homura x Madoka (available online in online manga sites), Homura
will be the seme, while Madoka is the uke.
