Shizuharu

Shizuharu is the femslash ship between Shizuku Hinomori and Haruka Kiritani from the Project SEKAI fandom.

Canon
Shizuku and Haruka are fellow members of the idol group MORE MORE JUMP! as well as schoolmates at Miyamasuzaka Girls' Academy, where Shizuku is a second-year student and Haruka is a first-year student. In contrast to Minori and Airi, Shizuku and Haruka are calmer and more mature. Prior to formation of MORE MORE JUMP!, and when they were still in their previous groups, Haruka and Shizuku once performed together.

You Deserve It! Break Time!
The event begins with MORE MORE JUMP! finishing another one of their streams and then Airi mentioning they should start thinking of new ideas for segments. Haruka spends the evening coming up ideas and the corner she ended up choosing increased their viewer count. Upon Haruka mentioning she came up with it and polished it the whole evening, Shizuku becomes quiet and starts worrying after her. Haruka assures that coming up with it was the hardest part and Shizuku, although not fully convinced, tells her to not overdo it. When Minori invites everyone with her to a crepe shop, Haruka declines her offer and says she has a lot of homework. Shizuku becomes worried again when Haruka says she needs to think of more ideas as well. In Chapter 3, after the girls discussed their plans with the virtual singers in their SEKAI, Shizuku notices Haruka being quiet and asks if she's okay again. Haruka admits she stayed up a little too late and how she's been busy. Shizuku tells her she should take a break and reminds Haruka that without any breaks her body won't make it, no matter how hard she keeps working. Haruka tries assuring Shizuku she'll be able to sleep better tonight and thanks her for the concern, but the latter is not fully convinced. MEIKO enters their conversation and calls Haruka a hardworker. The latter claims she isn't doing much when compared to others and they then start talking about how Haruka's days normally go, how she wakes up early to practice and practices at night as well. Haruka tries assuring the two that it was part of her daily routine during her ASRUN days, so it doesn't faze her. Haruka tells MEIKO she'll do her best to rest as well for the sake of their group, and Shizuku's worries grow even bigger.

Chapter 4 then shows a flashback featuring the two, taking place six months after Shizuku had joined Cheerful*Days. Shizuku is scheduled to appear in a TV show, where she is now supposed to follow a script and talk about the hardest parts of being an idol, as well as what she wants to do as the new leader of her unit. Shizuku thinks to herself, while reading the script, that none of the words sound like something she would say, but how she also needs to be the person everyone else and her fans want her to be. Shizuku doubts herself and Haruka calls out to her, before apologizing for startling her. Haruka admits she had never expected for them to star in the same show, and mentioning that she has wanted to talk with Shizuku before. Shizuku is surprised and Haruka compliments her, who then admits she's afraid of being Cheerful*Days' new leader, and not truly knowing what she's supposed to do. They talk and compliment each other more about the leader's role, and Shizuku starts crying due to Haruka's reassurance and comfort, before the flashback ends with both of them calling each other with their first names. Shizuku thinks to herself how Haruka truly is a perfect idol, even back then and now, before asking herself if Haruka really wants to "stay in character like that all the time."
