Yukiran

Yukiran is the femslash ship between Yukina Minato and Ran Mitake from the BanG Dream! fandom.

Canon
Yukina and Ran are vocalists of two rival music bands, Roselia and Afterglow. Also they‘re both students of Haneoka Girls’ High School. Despite their rivalry, they respect each other.

They usually get flustered when they talk with each other. They can be really soft around each other and smile to themselves. Ran actually really likes Yukina’s voice and band, but she is too shy to admit it. Sometimes Ran blushes when she talks with Yukina.

Their childhood friends, Moca and Lisa, always try to help them with getting along and tease them together. Recently, in new events and episodes, Yukina and Ran started actually getting along and doing a lot of things together, like writing a song for Roselia or sitting in an onsen together. Yukina also asked Ran to help her write a song in the "Noble Rose -A Song To Reach-" event.

They also held hands in the "Steadfast Pride, Piercing Sunset event". Almost every girl in BanG Dream! likes pointing out their similarities, and they love it when Yukina and Ran do something together.

Fanon
Yukiran is not so popular, and it used to be considered a rarepair at one point. However it has recently gained popularity in both the Western and Eastern sides of the fandom. The Western fandom sees them as a soft and passionate ship at the same time. Some people don’t like the ship because they don’t like rivalries, though Yukina and Ran are not just rivals.

They really respect other so much and are really soft with each other, so with time people started shipping them more than before. Episode 7 of BanG Dream! 3rd Season is a good example. The fandom likes childhood friend ships like Mocaran and Yukilisa more, but Yukiran has a lot of potential.
