Emunene

Emunene is the femslash ship between Emu Ootori and Nene Kusanagi from the Project SEKAI fandom.

Canon
Emu Ootori and Nene Kusanagi are both a part of a group called Wonderlands X Showtime, making them groupmates. After meeting each other, they are shown to become close friends. Emu attends Miyamasuzaka Girls Academy while Nene attends Kamiyama High School. Emu also occasionally sneaks into Kamiyama. Emu first meets Nene under the appearance of a robot.

Rui, Nene's childhood friend, created that robot for her to be able to communicate with other people. And so, when Nene auditions to join the group, the robot takes her place as she controls it, since she's too shy to actually perform on stage. Emu is immediately amazed by the robot, nicknaming it "Robo-Nene" after Nene introduces herself. Emu also instantly likes the way Nene sings through the robot, saying that "Robo-Nene" has an amazing voice, and that she wants her to perform with them. After their first show is ruined because Nene forgot to charge the robot, Tsukasa lectures her by saying it's her fault that the show was ruined.

When she runs away, Emu is seen calling her with a sad face, wanting her to come back. After a while, Tsukasa feels sorry. So, when Emu and him spot Nene in the park again, they chase her together. They're able to catch her thanks to Emu, jumping on her from above the gate to stop her from escaping with the help of Robo-Nene. Afterwards, Emu becomes worried, asking Nene if she hurt her. After Tsukasa apologizes and Nene says that she will join the group again, Emu expresses her happiness of her staying, by saying she's very happy that her and Robo-Nene will stay with them.

When trying to ambush Rui to ask him to join the group again, Nene is shown to be imitating Emu in order to stop him. There are also several moments in the story where they stand next to each other. Nene also sees Emu as a weirdo, like she sees the other group members. That doesn't stop her from showing some care towards her, as she stands up for her, wanting to help her with her issues and to achieve her dream. Additionally, Emu thinks Nene is extremely talented at singing.

Fanon
Emunene is a somewhat popular ship in the fandom (more so in the Western fandom). It is currently both Emu and Nene's most written ship on AO3. It is mostly rivaled by Emukasa and Ruinene. But the fandom does not have any problem with multi-shipping, so it is not rare to see people ship Emu and Nene with other people and together too. Emunene tends to be shipped alongside RuiKasa.

The fandom seems to like how Nene stands up for Emu, and how Emu tries to help Nene with her issues. They're very close friends, so it is to no surprise that the fandom likes to see them together. The ship is also a part of the poly ship Polyshow, regrouping all the group members of WonderlandsxShowtime together in a polyamorous ship.

Emunene follows the opposite attracts trope, which is seemingly appreciated in the Project SEKAI fandom. They also follow the close friends to lovers trope.
