Mikomahi

Mikomahi is the het ship between Mikoto Kayano and Mahiru Shiina from the MILGRAM fandom.

Canon
Mikoto and Mahiru are fellow prisoners at MILGRAM. Mikoto is described as an average person with a normal build while Mahiru is described as someone who's warm like the sun. Mikoto calls Mahiru by “Mappi”.

In a timeline conversation, Mikoto is wondering to himself whether the place they’re in, MILGRAM, is a reality TV show or not. Mahiru then notices Mikoto and introduces herself, saying he can call her Mahiru and prompting him for his name. Mikoto introduces himself and states he’s fine with her calling him by his first-name; he then says he’s glad there’s someone easy to talk to, saying, “It’s nice to meet you, Mappi.” Mahiru remains silent for a while before she says to herself, “Mappi???”

In Mahiru's first trial Interrogations, she was asked if there's any prisoners she dislike. She then answers with Fuuta along with Mikoto. She described Mikoto as someone who seems like a shallow person who might cheat on his lover.

They have quite opposite reactions and feelings about being in MILGRAM. Mahiru is relatively calm about being at MILGRAM but she doesn't deny the sins she committed, while Mikoto thinks he doesn't belong in there as he has done nothing wrong, which is revealed later on as Mikoto is not the one who commited the crime that MILGRAM suspects him for.

Mikoto briefly mentions Mahiru in his first trial voice drama "John Doe" where he says that Mahiru - whom he calls with the nickname Mappi - is just someone who's nice.

Minigram
In "Girls(?) Talk", Mahiru asked if Mikoto has fallen asleep already, she also asks if Mikoto likes someone. Mikoto answers no and he awkardly asks about what's going on here. Mahiru says that it feels like a sleepover and how it makes you want to do some girls talk, which Mikoto eventually does.

In "Picture Book", Mahiru and Muu found a lost picture book. Mahiru went and asked Kotoko and Mikoto if they've lost a picture book. Kotoko don't see why she would ask for such thing and Mikoto answers Mahiru's question saying that it's not his, Mahiru proceeds to show the picture book and as Mikoto is going to say something he immediately got distracted by the big shark on that picture book.

Fanon
Mikomahi is quite a popular ship in the fandom, due to their personality and interactions from mostly the minigrams together. The ship itself has a moderate amount of fanarts in Twitter. Although they have much fewer fanarts in Pixiv, only having 4 works as of now. Their fanarts mostly consist of them being a happy couple.

It is appreciated in both the Eastern and Western side of the fandom. It's mostly rivaled by Mikoto's most popular ship, Mikofuu, and some people also ship Mikoto and Mahiru with Fuuta in the poly ship Mikomappifuu.

Some may view Mikomahi as a femslash ship where Mikoto is a trans woman.
