MakoShino

MakoShino is the femslash ship between Makomo and Shinobu Kocho from the Demon Slayer fandom.

Canon
Due to Makomo's death, the two unfortunately haven't gotten the chance to meet in canon. Meaning they haven't had any interactions in the Anime nor Manga. Even in the manga Shinobu has never interacted with Makomo and there are no indications that she knew Makomo before she was killed. They have only ever been seen together in a Demon Slayer Academy scene. Though slim there could be a chance that these two get along well in the Kimetsu Academy universe.

Fanon
MakoShino is considered a rarepair ship, likely due to the two not interacting in the canon franchise. And Makomo is also six years younger than Shinobu. Making the ship between a minor and an adult, making it even more unsupported. However this can be contradicted, because Makomo is actually 22 years old (chronologically). Which actually makes her 4 years older than Shinobu. Which may also be a major reason why it still has support from a small amount of fans. But the two did get a brief scene together in a Demon Slayer Academy End Credits Scene A decent amount of people support the ship, though there are other ships that consists of these two characters that are more popular. Such as SabiMako for Makomo and GiyuShino and ShinoMitsu for Shinobu. People that are likely to ship these two are people that ship SabiGiyuu, Due to Sabito and Giyu now dating each other, that would make these two available to date each other. Since in this scenario they don't end up with their male lovers. But the ship still has support from a decent amount of fans. Some think the ship between these two characters are cute and view as a wholesome ship more than a romantic one. and even though it has a minimal fanbase it is still considered a good ship for a select amount of Demon Slayer Fans. There are some AU's in stories made by fans, in which Makomo gets to live and develop a close bond with Shinobu and the two fall in love.
