Pink Pocky

Haruki x Isuke is the femslash ship between Haruki Sagae and Isuke Inukai from the Riddle Story of Devil fandom.

Manga
Isuke and Haruki meet each other as roommates at school. Their first time meeting Haruki starts cutely annoying Isuke by repeatedly calling her "dude". So, fed up, she asks Haruki to call her "Isuke-sama". Haruki complies and asks for some nail polish from Isuke. Isuke tells her that she doesn't use it since she uses gel nails. And Haruki grabs her by the arm, getting Isuke extremely close to her, just to comment about how pretty Isuke's nails look.

Some days later, while the class is preparing a play for the Venus Festival, the two of them share some time in their room. Isuke was trying to get a nail polish cap open, but it was so stiff that it wouldn't move. So Haruki decides to offer her help and accidentally ends up breaking the bottle since she's very strong. Instead of angrying Isuke, this makes her impressed by Haruki's "superhuman strength". Haruki, however, feels very guilty because she thinks that nail polish was very expensive for Isuke. But Isuke tells her not to worry since she's used to spending a lot of money. That's when they start talking about money since Haruki shares with her why she's in the game. Haruki tells Isuke that her family is large, and very poor, so she really needs to help them financially. While Isuke tells her that she's all about the money, not necessarily killing, which is why she's in the game. After their talk, Haruki goes to take a bath, and Isuke starts staring at Haruki's family portrait, thinking about the conversation they just had.

Some days later, Haruki is seriously considering killing Haru. And Isuke brings up Haruki's reason for doing so once again, saying that she thinks it's "cute". She shares some genuine advice with Haruki, telling her that she should stop wasting time thinking about it. Instead, she should start acting since "life's too short". She tells Haruki that she should live her life as free as possible. And with a determined look on her face, before leaving their shared room, Haruki tells Isuke that, although the time they spent together was not too much, she is thankful to her for everything. This leaves Isuke a bit sad and confused, breaking her carefree persona. Haruki goes to kill Haru, but it's met with Tokaku, who fiercely protects her, heavily wounding Haruki in the process. The next day, she doesn't come to school anymore, and the teacher tells everyone the news that Haruki transferred to another school. Isuke takes a sorrowful look at Haruki's empty spot and thinks to herself: "That's what you get for not listening to Isuke's advice. I even thought of giving you a manicure. Pink looks good on you, Haruki."

Sometime later, at the end of the manga, their relationship is already established, as some guys that see Haruki speaking on the phone with Isuke ask her if she's talking to her boyfriend, to which Haruki replies that she's speaking to her girlfriend, referring to Isuke.

Fanon
is one of the most popular ships in the Riddle Story of Devil fandom. It's almost as popular as the main couple of the series, Tokaku and Haru. Which is surprising, considering the fact that they're a secondary couple. The shíp currently has 100+ works on AO3.
