Soniaki

Soniaki is the femslash between Sonia Nevermind and Chiaki Nanami from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Chiaki Nanami and Sonia Nevermind appear to be friends, in the game and the anime. In Chiaki’s Trial, Sonia shows signs of disbelief. At the end of the trial, Sonia downright refuses to acknowledge Chiaki as a killer. Sonia even attempts to persuade Hajime into thinking Chiaki is not the traitor and killer. When Sonia responds in distress hearing that Chiaki was in fact the traitor, Chiaki responds in a sad tone, yet affirmative.

Whilst Chiaki and Sonia were enrolled in Hope’s Peak, they interacted many times. Sonia was seen multiple times playing video games with Chiaki. Sonia was also there in the nurse’s office when Chiaki fainted. Some of the official art in the anime depict Sonia and Chiaki hugging each other. Some of the pictures even depict the two playing pranks on fellow classmates (Ex: Kazuichi).

The two show the trope ‘’ very well. With their interest in video games. Or you could also say their soft personalities. When Sonia jumps at Chiaki for a hug; Chiaki reacts with a slightly surprised face and slight blush along with it. It should also be said, when Chiaki’s execution in the anime is displayed on screen for everyone to see, Sonia responds with visible distress, a sign of their friendship.
