Sakuraoi

Sakuraoi is a femslash ship between Sakura Oogami and Aoi Asahina in the Danganronpa series.

Canon
Aoi was depicted throughout to be Sakura's closest friend. The two bonded from the very beginning over their love of sports and athletics and are rarely seen without the other. Both are fiercely protective of each other; Aoi was the only one to openly stick up for Sakura when she was accused of being the Mastermind, and in turn, Sakura became enraged when Touko Fukawa, as Genocide Jack, cut Aoi on the arm. When Sakura's suicide note is found, it is mainly addressed to Aoi.

In School Mode, Sakura appears a little annoyed when Makoto attempts to ask if she and Aoi are a couple. Sakura answers that Aoi is the first real friend she's ever had and considers Makoto's earlier assumption a "Hifumi-like delusion".

Fanon
The ship has sailed as a result of the strong friendship that was quickly developed between the two, as well as the effect Sakura's death had on Aoi. Although they were canonically best friends and Sakura had her own boyfriend, a lot of fan fictions and fan arts show the two being attracted to each other. Some don't forget about Sakura's boyfriend and decide to include them as well in a polyship with the two.

It is one of the most written Danganronpa ships, as well as the most written ship for both of them on Archive of Our Own.
