Makaemiu

Makaemiu is the poly ship between Kaede Akamatsu, Maki Harukawa, and Miu Iruma from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
All three girls are friends, either good friends or just regular friends. Miu is the vulgar one of the group. Kaede seems to be the outgoing one. And Maki seems to be the standoffish one of the group. Both Maki and Miu seemed to be hated or feared, while Kaede is more friendly.

Kaede and Maki
Both Kaede and Maki are good friends. When Maki claims she isn't fit for the Ultimate Caregiver role, Kaede tries to boost her confidence by telling her she's perfect for the job and that even if she doesn't like kids, kids like her, she also says that Maki chose a good career. Maki then explains that she got the role just because she lived in the orphanage. Despite Kaede's unrelenting affection towards Maki, Maki continues to be stony towards Kaede, she continues to put down Kaede for her mistakes several times.

Ultimate Talent Development Plan
In one of the Ultimate Talent Development Plans Maki and Kaede bump into Chihiro who is mourning the death of a baby bird, he tried to take it to Gundham, but it was to late. Maki tells Chihiro that it wasn't his fault the bird died, and that he shouldn't cry about something like that; Kaede quickly tells Maki to be nicer, and that she needs to watch what she says. Maki mentions that Gundham isn't a vet and that he probably couldn't save it anyway, Chihiro reluctantly agrees, he says that he just started crying because he wished the bird could fly more. Kaede tells Chihiro that he has a good heart and Maki mentions that he shouldn't cry about that anyway; but she thinks it's fortunate the bird had someone to cry for it. Chihiro thanks Kaede and Maki for their condolences. Maki asks Chihiro what he was outside for anyway, and Chihiro mentions that he was thinking about making a grave for the bird, but hes hesitant since someone might step on the bird. Maki refers Chihiro to Gundham since he knows more about animal burial than he does veterinary, she also offers to take him to Gundham; this shocks Chihiro, Maki scoffs when Chihiro does this and asks if he doesn't want her to come. Chihiro is hestiant to answer and Kaede asks if Chihiro was just suprised; Kaede tells Chihiro that Maki may seem rude and harsh on the outside, but she's warm and sincere on the inside. Maki makes a point to exclude Kaede from her and Chihiro's walk to Gundham, this shocks and saddens Kaede, but Kaede still insists that she should come aswell, Chihiro thanks Kaede and Maki again while laughing. Maki calls Chihiro a crybaby and that she couldn't see herself leaving Chihiro alone.

Kaede and Miu
When Kaede and Miu meet during Miu's first Free Time event, Miu calls Kaede flat-chested. Kaede claims that isn't true and Miu tries to grope Kaede. In chapter one, Shuichi and Kaede beg Miu to help them make modified cameras, this makes Miu blush embarrasingly. Miu reluctantly agrees to this and Kaede hugs her, making Miu flustered. Later, Miu is seen talking to Shuichi, claiming that when the two had begged for her help, it had turned her on.

Ultimate Talent Development Plan
Miu, Kaede, and Byakuya can be seen in one of the Ultimate Talent Development Plans. Byakuya is disgusted and asks when he said the two could share a table with him at lunch. Kaede is suprised and asks if she's not allowed to sit near him, Miu bursts out claiming that she can sit wherever she wants and that if he has a problem, he could move. Byakuya scoffs, telling Miu to not taint the air with her crass vocabulary, Miu laughs, asking if her "hot body" is making his glasses fog up. The two get into a minor argument with Byakuya calling Miu vulgar and hard of hearing; and Miu calling Byakuya's vocabulary also vulgar, while cursing at him. This causes Byakuya to freak out; Miu curses at Byakuya again, calling him unintelligent and arrogant. Kaede is forced to stop the two from getting into a physical fight, Byakuya scoffs again as he returns to his supercilious state, claiming that he would never fight someone such as Miu. Miu agrees with Byakuya, she also returns to a supercilious state as she mentions that she's above Byakuya, Kaede asks if Miu wants her on her side or not. Byakuya insults Kaede, in which, Kaede is shocked, Miu then steps in telling Byakuya to shut up and that he's just wasting her time, Byakuya is confused and asks if Miu is trying to get something out of him, he then calls her disgusting. Miu gets flustered and Kaede whines, saying that Miu is in one of her weird moods again. Miu gets embarrased and Kaede begs Byakuya for forgiveness. Byakuya scoffs, hating the fact that hes already gotten used to reactions like Miu's.

Miu and Kaede are also seen in another Ultimate Talent Development Plan story, Miu is seen decorating for Christmas, calling it a present for the lonely when Kaede asks what she's doing. Miu also mentions that the lights are special, after explaining ther function, Kaede is disturbed, she tells Miu that she can't put up those lights, and that it's not okay to do so. Miu gets unhappy, and Kaede apologizes, claiming that Miu is just abusing her power. Miu calls Kaede an idiot for not respecting her work, and Kaede says that what ever she was about to do would make her lose respect. Miu scoffs, claiming she is more worthy of respect rather than "Some Luminary of the Stars or Religious Nutcase" she also says that she can bring joy to the whole entire world with her inventions. Kaede is taken aback, asking if that was Miu's intention all along, Miu laughs, saying it was, while calling Kaede a "pleb" for not being as smart as her. Kaede whines, mentioning how it's hard to respect her, when her attitude is horrible.

Fanon
Makaemiu seems to be an unpopular ship in the Danganronpa fandom. For one, there are more popular ships such as Harukaito, Saimatsu, and Irouma. And Poly ships aren't as popular as two person ships in the Danganronpa fandom. Many fans of either characters tend to ship Irumaki, Nursery Rhymes, or Irumatsu. There is no real reason why Makaemiu's ship sailed in the first place, other than people liking the three ships mentioned formerly and wantng to ship them all together. Maki and Miu don't interact much either, and because of that factor, the ship is weighed down.
