Mikane

Mikane is the femslash ship between Akane Owari and Mikan Tsumiki from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
While the relationship between both characters is never really highlighted, they appear to be on good terms. A majority of their interactions stem from how Akane's recklessness often ends up with her needing to receive medical attention from Mikan. This happens in Chapter 2 when Akane shows up to the diner with a severe head wound. Mikan expresses concern for her well-being, and quickly rushes her into the bathroom to be treated. Later on in Chapter 3, Akane, along with Ibuki Mioda and Nagito Komaeda, falls victim to the Despair Disease, and is once again taken into Mikan's care.

During the third Class Trial, Mikan is accused of killing Hiyoko Saionji and Ibuki Mioda, and Akane becomes her most vocal and persistent defender. While she is initially calm at first, simply believing that Mikan isn't even capable of committing murder in the first place. She becomes increasingly more angry as the trial progresses as Mikan is continuously cornered by Hajime Hinata and Nagito. Akane's refusal to doubt Mikan is due to the nurse taking care of her until she recovered from the Despair Disease, implying that she has built up a great amount of trust in her. She is ultimately the last one to stop defending Mikan, after being lectured by Chiaki Nanami.

Fanon
There are numerous contributors to the ship. Some fans like the tough girl/gentle girl dynamic, with Mikan being eager to help Akane when she gets sick or injured, and Akane aggressively defending Mikan in Chapter 3. Both are also implied to be victims of sexual harassment, which is revealed during their Free Time Events. The severity of which was so bad, that both of them had gotten used to it and no longer viewed it as morally wrong. Because of this, fans believe that Akane and Mikan would be able to relate to each other, and console each other.
