Naehina

Naehina is the het ship between Makoto Naegi and Aoi Asahina from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Although not sharing any kind of close relationship with Aoi when they first met, Makoto becomes close friends with her during their time together at Hope's Peak. During one of her Free Time events, Aoi requests that Makoto act as her fake boyfriend so she can practice when she gets a real one. Their closeness is also shown when Aoi is shown feeling guilty over having executed Makoto and she seems happy when he forgives her.

As members of the Future Foundation, the two have grown considerably closer. Makoto makes sure Aoi doesn't overdo things while Aoi frequently tells him that everything is okay. When Makoto is arrested for betraying the Future Foundation, Aoi (along with Kyoko) helps defend him, and she also helps him escape from Kyosuke Munakata when the latter tries to kill him. Makoto gives Aoi hope after she despairs at the fact that they must start a new round of killing.

Makoto remains with Aoi throughout most of the Final Killing Game, and she helps him escape from Kyosuke and Juzo Sakakura numerous times. Makoto constantly relies on Aoi, and is thankful for the help she has given him. Despite this, Makoto worries for her safety, particularly when she attempts to fight Juzo despite being at a disadvantage due to her NG code.

Makoto and Aoi have been shown to understand one another when deaths or murders occur, even since the Killing School Life. Makoto's understanding of Aoi's emotional side is ultimately what allowed him to thwart her plans to have them executed in Chapter 4. During the Final Killing Game, when Kyoko supposedly dies, Aoi fears that Makoto would become reckless and hurt himself, despite Makoto assuring her that he wouldn't let their friend's sacrifice go to waste.

The two also comfort each other when these events occur. When Kazuo Tengan is murdered by Kyosuke, Aoi gives Makoto support and gives him hope just as he did her. After his conversation with Komaru Naegi, Makoto realizes that they may have reminded Aoi of her deceased brother, Yuta, who was Aoi's Captive and thus the person closest to her prior to The Tragedy. He appeared to want to comfort his friend, however he was unable to do so as they were interrupted by Miaya revealing her robotic nature.

During the Final Killing Game, some of Aoi's expressions indicate that she knows Makoto and Kyouko like each other, and she appears silently very happy for them.

After the events of The Tragedy have been resolved, Makoto, Aoi, and their fellow survivors decide to rebuild Hope's Peak Academy together.

Alternative Continuities
In THH's extra mode Dangan Academy, Aoi will ask Makoto to go on a real date with her, implying that she's fallen for him after the free time events and their time spent together at the Academy.

Children
Just like Byakuya and Yasuhiro, Makoto has a son with Aoi in the Bad Ending of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. In this timeline, the murders have stopped after Kyoko's execution and the remaining survivors accepted living together inside the academy for the rest of their lives. Makoto and Aoi's son strongly resembles his father and even wears clothes like him, except in a child's size.

However, it should be noted that the events of the Bad Ending were soon revealed to have happened only in Makoto's imagination when he wondered what revealing Kyoko's lie would cause.

Canon
"Good luck, Makoto! Girls like her are total pushovers when you show a little backbone!"

- Aoi wishing luck to Makoto with Kyoko in Chapter 3.

"Watch out, Sakura! Makoto's transformed into a wild beast! Prime Minister Wild Beast of Beastopia!"

- Aoi after believing Makoto started hitting on all the girls around in Chapter 4.

"It's not fair. Even at a time like this, you're so cool."

- Aoi to Makoto after the latter comforts her in the subbed version of the second episode of Future Arc.

"You're usually like, totally normal. But when the time comes, BAM! You bust out your special power. I mean, even before yesterday, when stuff comes up, it's like...you always do something about it. With your power, and Sakura's, and everyone else...I'm sure we'll get outta here... Now that we've got that fighting spirit, let's go get some grub!'"

- Aoi to Makoto in chapter four

Non-Despair
""Would you, go on a real date with me?""

- Aoi during her Dangan Academy ending.

Fanon
The ship has sailed mostly as a result of the ship tease in their Free Time Events, where Aoi asks Makoto to be her boyfriend, albeit just for a practice, although it's implied that they became official if the player talks to Aoi at the end of Dangan Academy. Otherwise Makoto most likely ends up with Sayaka in that timeline. It was fueled even more with Future Arc, where Makoto and Aoi are together during the entire Final Killing Game and support each other.
