Minorui

Minorui is the het ship between Minori Hanasato and Rui Kamishiro from the Project SEKAI fandom.

Canon
With Minori being a part of "MORE MORE JUMP!", and Rui belonging to "Wonderlands×Showtime", they have not had many canonical interactions. It wasn't until the "Scramble Fan FESTA" event that they even spoke to each other. Wonderlands×Showtime was assigned to assist Ichika, Minori, Kohane, and Nene with their performance, which caused them to first talk to each other. Though this was their first meeting, they seemed to get along very well right away. This is most likely due to their similar personalities.

Upon meeting, Rui had complimented Minori on her singing and dancing, saying she's an incredible idol. Minori thanked him along with expressing her concerns about her acting skills, to which Rui responded with tips on how to act better. This made him realize how similar idols and actors were. Later on in the same event story, upon seeing her perform, he had said once again that she was an incredible idol. This is a callback to their first meeting, showing that his positive opinion on her has not changed.

Rui and Minori have not interacted much outside of this event. During the "Beyond Prayers, the Tomorrow We Wish for Is..." event, the unit members of MORE MORE JUMP! and Wonderlands×Showtime had briefly met and spoken to each other. Minori and Rui did not explicitly speak to each other despite this.

They both share a love for Phoenix Wonderland, which opens up more possible meetings for them in the future. They also share Emu as a mutual friend.

Fanon
Minorui has a small, but surprisingly dedicated following. The ship had been around before they interacted, but it started to really sail when they met in the "Scramble Fan FESTA" event. People started to notice how well they get along and how similar their personalities are, leading a lot of fans to acknowledge it as a serious ship, rather just a fleeting idea a few people had.

For some reason, many people believe that this ship began as a satirical ship. However, an Instagram user, who is known for being one of the first Minorui shippers to exist, is commonly referred to for being the one to bring more popularity to the ship. They have stated multiple times that they are serious, and that they don't understand why so many people think of it as satirical.

Despite the following this ship has, there is also a lot of hate regarding it. A lot of people believe that Minori should only be shipped with a female (most notably Haruka Kiritani) and that Rui should only be shipped with a male (most notably Tsukasa Tenma). This does not stop Minorui fans from shipping them though.
