Ryosara

Ryosara is the femslash ship between Ryoko Hirose and Sara Chidouin from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Canon
Ryoko and Sara became friends in middle school, and maintained that friendship into high school, both attending Sonobeno High School. However, they appear to be in different classes. At some point Ryoko wins a keychain at an arcade and gives it to Sara. Sara regards Ryoko as her best friend, often mentioning this whenever Ryoko is brought up.

In the manga, when Ryoko is supposed to be on her date with Joe, she texts Sara to ask if Joe's with her, because she can't get a hold of him. Ryoko later sends Sara a picture of the two when they finally go on their date. While Joe later tells Sara about their date, in response to Joe saying Ryoko's a good girl, Sara says she's cute.

During the Death Game, Joe shows Sara a picture of the three of them at a cafe. In one of the reaction options, Sara says Ryoko looks cute in the photo, and in another, Sara wonders how Ryoko is doing at the moment. Joe tells Sara that on his date with Ryoko, the two of them ended up talking about Sara. Joe told Ryoko about the time Sara tried to sit on a traffic cone, making Sara embarrassed as Joe promised he wouldn't tell anyone, and now Ryoko knows about it. Ryoko also said that she thought no friend of Sara's could be a bad person, and made a pact with Joe to beat up anyone who makes Sara cry. Ryoko is even willing to punch Joe if he makes Sara upset.

Before the first Main Game, if Sara decided not to leave the Last Supper Room, she dreams about meeting with Ryoko again and living life as normal. Much later on, when the group investigates Kai's laptop, Sara finds out that Ryoko was being observed alongside her and Joe. She wonders if it was planned for Ryoko to get involved in the Death Game as well.

Nankidai Twitter sketches
Throughout the month of August 2020, Nankidai posted a special Summer Festival story series on his Twitter.

Sara told Ryoko and Joe to go off just the two of them, while Sara went alone. She pretended to have lots of fun by herself, but in actuality, she wanted to be with Ryoko and Joe. Ryoko and Joe later find Sara again. Ryoko tells Sara they should go together now, while holding her hand and giving her a penguin keychain. After the ordeal with Midori is resolved, Ryoko offers to take a commemorative photo of everyone with the fireworks. Sara says that since Ryoko's wearing a yukata and everything, she should be in the photo as well, but Ryoko says it's fine, and the fireworks will be over soon anyway. Afterwards, Ryoko smiles and thinks to herself that Sara's made so many new friends.

Additionally, in Nankidai's special story Kimigashine Gakuen, Ryoko is Sara's friend and classmate and is partially seen walking with Sara and Anzu Kinashi.

Fanon
Ryosara is not a very popular ship in the Your Turn To Die fandom, partly because Ryoko is a minor character who mostly exists as a part of Sara's backstory, rather than interacting with her directly in what is seen in canon. However, because Sara and Ryoko are canonically friends, that helps the ship a bit. Ryosara greatly rivals Joesara, and to a lesser degree Ryojoe. Occasionally Ryosara comes out as a result of shipping Ryojoesara. Some imagine scenarios where Sara survives the Death Game and manages to return home to Ryoko, where Sara is forced to deliver the sad news about Joe to her, and Ryoko helps Sara cope with her trauma from the Death Game.

In the manga, it's implied that Sara has a crush on Joe due to her stating she feels a bit envious of Ryoko, however, some interpret it differently in that she actually has a crush on Ryoko.
