MisaRitsu

MisaRitsu is the femslash ship between Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi from the Neon Genesis Evangelion fandom.

Canon
Misato and Ritsuko meet in college and become each other's first friends there. They have remained close friends for many years after their meeting. Two women sometimes argue as their interests clash, however they manage to come to agreement with each other.

Years later, both Misato and Ritsuko work at NERV. Misato is the operations director, while Ritsuko is the head scientist, they both are heavily involved in the work and utulization of Evangelions. Shortly after Shonji moves in with Misato, Ritsuko visits them for a dinner. Misato is an awful cook, and they eat semi-produced food.

Their friendship is put up to a challenge, when Misato learns about the Instrumentality Project.

Fanon
is mostly viewed positively in the fandom. It is considered a rare pair, as most popular ships in the fandom mainly focus on the young generation, "the pilots". Many MisaRitsu fans believe that Ritsuko's disinterest in men, her aversion to romantic entanglements, and disappointment in Misato, when she disappeared from college for a week to spend it with a man could hint at Ritsuko being romantically fascinated with Misato.
