GureMahi is the het ship between Ichinose Guren and Hiiragi Mahiru from the Seraph of The End fandom.

Canon
Guren first met Mahiru on a summer night at a mountain, after Guren had finished his daily training. On this day, Mahiru approached him and asked him who he was. To this, he turned around. Mahiru began to ask Guren multiple questions, varying between many different topics.

One day, she requested that Guren bring her cake. Guren stated that he did not have the money to be able to afford ingredients or the cake itself; apologizing because he couldn't fulfill her needs. Mahiru reassured him, and stated that it was alright and that it was fine as long as they were together. Later, Guren went to his father, Ichinose Sakae, and asked for pocket money. When Sakae asked why, Guren stated that it was to buy cake for himself. When Sakae stated that he couldn't allow it because he wanted Guren to maintain a good diet, Guren stated it was not for himself. Sakae gave Guren one thousand yen, and commented that it was good for him to be popular, as one day he would marry.

Guren brought the cake to their next meeting. Mahiru was happy to see that he brought cake. She asked him if he bought it to make her happy, to which he responded with silence. Then she stated, "I love most." Guren asked if she meant she loved the cake, and she responded with "I love Guren." His narration describes how, when he was with her, his heart rate would accelerate, and it would become difficult for him to speak.

They split the cake in half and ate it together. Mahiru took a bite out of a strawberry and ate some of it, before feeding it to Guren. However, they were eventually found by the people of Mikado no Oni (Guren belongs to Mikado no Tsuki). Guren was interrogated by these men, who asked him who he had been meeting with. Guren refused to answer their questions and sell out Mahiru, which caused the people of Mikado no Oni to beat him up. Guren's narration states he didn't feel pain, but anger at how unfair the situation was.

Guren re-visited their usual meeting spot, and stayed there for two hours. He realized Mahiru did not come that night. A few days later, Mahiru would appear. She told Guren how she was initially speaking to him, because she assumed her father would be angered at the idea of her talking to someone on the lowest end of the social hierarchy. She paused before later adding that she fell in love with Guren because he was too cute. Mahiru asked him that when they grow up, if they could get married and be together forever. Guren shut that down by stating that it was not possible with the way things were even if he liked her. However, they were then caught again. Guren was beaten up for "luring" Mahiru out, despite her going to him herself. They were separated, as they cried for each other. They did not see each other for a decade.

Fanon
In the earlier days of the fandom, GureMahi was pretty popular among shippers. However, in recent years, it's been overshadowed by its main rival ship, GureShin, though it still has a few dedicated fans. Denouncers of GureMahi often argue that it's problematic due to Mahiru killing Guren's friends, but as some shippers have pointed out, she wasn't in control of herself and felt remorse for doing so. Another common argument is that Mahiru is a minor, and that it would be weird if they ended up being fully canon. However, other shippers have pointed out that if that was true MikaYuu would have the same issue. This is due to the fact that Mikaela was a child as a demon. Also, GureShin is completely wrong, and makes no sense at all.
