Owamiki

Owamiki is the het ship between Mondo Owada and Mikan Tsumiki from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
The two never interacted on-screen in the main games. However, they share two events together in Danganronpa V3’s bonus mode, Ultimate Talent Development Plan and one event in the non-canon game ,Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp.

Ultimate Talent Development Plan
In one event, Mikan had been chasing after Mondo because “his hand was bleeding everywhere, which he didn’t notice”. The only issue is that she keeps tripping and falling. She then begins to apologize repeatedly. Mondo yells at her to calm down, leading Mikan to start crying and pleading with him not to hit her. Mondo, of course, says he would never do anything so pathetic and apologizes for shouting and promises he is not mad at her. When Mikan calms down and asks him to come to the infirmary so she can treat his injury, Mondo says getting his hands all scraped up from fights is no big deal to him, but he agrees anyway so Mikan will not cry anymore.

In the other event, Mikan checks up on Mondo to see if he injured himself again. Mondo is at first annoyed that Mikan views him as the type to injure himself often, but upon seeing her afraid of him, he assures her that he is not mad at her for thinking so and promises that he will control his rage.

Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp
Their friendship is identical to the one from the aforementioned bonus mode, with Mikan taking care of Mondo’s injuries and telling him to be more careful. However, Mondo states that pain is a part of the training he needs, causing Mikan to agree to just continue nursing him if need be.

Fanon
Owamiki is one of several ships that sailed as a result of the interactions between characters in Ultimate Talent Development Plan. It gained its popularity because of the two’s “Nice Girl, Bad Boy” status, as well as due to their personalities being considered matching, with Mondo’s talent causing him to get injured often and Mikan treating his injuries, and with Mondo showing the nice side of his personality (i.e. his code to never hit a girl) around her.

Nonetheless, because they only interact with each other in a bonus mode, only a small part of the fanbase is aware of the ship. Additionally, both characters have their much more popular ships from their interactions in the main storyline. Examples of such ship rivals inculde Band Aid or Hinamiki for Mikan, and Ishimondo for Mondo. While still fairly popular for such a rarepair, the fact that less fans are aware of this ship contributes to it losing in popularity to the aforementioned examples.

In spite of this, the ship has a fair number of fan fictions dedicated to it, especially for a rarepair. Both fan fictions and fanarts would typically reference their interactions from the bonus modes, with Mikan usually being shown to take care of Mondo's injuries from his races or fights. Mondo would often be shown all flustered around Mikan to reference him not acting like a tough bad boy around her.
