MakoShino

MakoShino is the femslash ship between Makomo and Shinobu Kocho from the Demon Slayer fandom.

Canon
Due to Makomo's death the two unfortunately never got the chance and meet. And even in the manga, Shinobu shows no indications that she knew Makomo before she was killed. The only scene they ever had the two ever had together was an end credits in Demon Slayer academy, which is an AU where all Demon Slayer characters are at school. At the of the 17th episode of Demon Slayer. Zenitsu Agatsuma is seen in a school uniform and doesn't seem too happy about the school. But explains that his role is to inspect the uniforms of other individuals, meaning that he can admire the girls of the school without getting yelled at. After quickly looking at Nezuko Kamado's uniform he quickly looks at Makomo and Shinobu, and both of them are seen wearing two school uniforms. That's the only scene of these two characters sadly.

Fanon
MakoShino is a rarepair among the fandom. Likely since the two have never met people think the ship is weird. And others don't ship it because of the age gap between the two characters (being 6 years apart.) But since Makomo is actually 22 years old. Their age gap is actually only 4 years apart, which is way more suitable. However, there are ships for these that consist of these two characters that are more popular and the ship can easily be overshadowed by ships such as SabiMako for Makomo, GiyuShino and ShinoMitsu, for Shinobu. But people who ship SabiGiyuu are likely ok with shipping MakoShino, along with ObaMitsu shippers. Since in this scenario Sabito and Giyu end up dating each other and not Makomo and Shinobu. And considering that Mitsuri and Obanai, canonically love each other. That would allow these two to be a couple. So despite its small popularity. MakoShino is fairly supported by some Demon Slayer fans. There are also story AU's where Makomo gets to live and develop a close bond with Shinobu and the two fall in love. The ship has a small fanbase on Tumblr and some works on AO3
