Nanamashi

Nanamashi is the femslash ship between Nanami Hiromachi and Mashiro Kurata from the BanG Dream! fandom.

Canon
In canon, Mashiro and Nanami are both band members of Morfonica, and both go to Tsukinomori Girls' Academy. Nanami is the bassist, and Mashiro is the lead singer. Despite being in separate classes, they make time to spend time with one another in and out of school, and with the band. One instance of this is Nanami and Mashiro going out to eat together. Nanami nicknames Mashiro as 'Shiro-chan' frequently throughout their conversations. Nanami and Mashiro are opposites — Mashiro being a regular girl who strives to be unique, and Nanami is a girl like no other, who wishes to be like most people.

Nanami is also known to harmonise easily with Mashiro through area conversations. Nanami tries her best to make Mashiro feel included in the band whenever she can. Nanami helps Mashiro with anxiety through after-live conversations. Nanami knows is a flaw of hers, and doesn't want her to feel excluded. Mashiro is often with Nanami in official artwork for song art, more often than other characters. Nanami cares for Mashiro a lot and wants to be the perfect shoulder for her to lean on.

The Einsatz of a New Journey event is a Morfonica event, and gives more insight into the relationship of the characters, particularly Nanami and Mashiro. Nanami often defends Mashiro, and says 'we', 'us', 'our' much more often with her than the rest of the band. Nanami also sticks alongside Mashiro through the story in different ways. Mashiro says herself that being with Nanami is what helps her and what calms her down. In the Morfonica band stories, Nanami is almost every time the person to check on Mashiro when she is upset or zoned out. The two both question their place in the band at a point in the story and the pair both fear being seen as strange by other people.

Nanami and Mashiro also hold hands and skate together in Nanami's Dream Festival card, and in the episode.

Fanon
In fanon, the ship is small, Morfonica not having the biggest fans within the BanG Dream community, and with Morfonica only being out in the world-wide servers for a year less than in the native Japanese servers, not a lot of hype is given, and even less on the ships. Nanamashi is overshadowed by Nanarui in popularity. Ships from other bands also beat Nanamashi in the rankings. Overall, its rare pair.

It is headcanoned that the song Secret Dawn is a duet of Mashiro and Nanami, as Nanami comments on how the lyrics come to her – comparing with Mashiro.
