Manina

Manina is the het ship between Manic and Mina from the Sonic Underground and Sonic the Hedgehog fandoms.

Canon
The two never directly interact in the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics, despite Manic having an appearance along with his siblings in the tenth issue of Sonic Super Special.

Manic appeared in the Sonic Underground cartoon, where he and his siblings were separated from birth and reunited years later and formed a band, in order to reunite with their mother, Queen Aleena, and defeat Robotnik’s forces. Mina appeared in the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics. There, she is a famous singer and fell in love with Prime Sonic after being rescued by and was also one of the love interests competing for his affection.

Due to originating from two different adaptations of the franchise, along with Sonic Underground and the comics getting cancelled, as well as Mina being a character created by Ken Penders, the two characters will most likely never meet.

Fanon
Despite the two never interacting in the comics, Manina is a fairly well-liked ship in the fandom. Many fans ship them due to both characters’ love and association with music: Manic being a drummer in his band, and Mina being a singer.

Manina shippers think that Ash is not a good match for her, but also do not support Sonmina (Sonic×Mina). This way, they would chose Manic as an alternative character to ship her with, along with him being the brother of Sonic may have played a factor. Other rival ships include Manamy (Manic×Amy) and Tailina (Tails×Mina).

There is yet to have a fan-made story about this pairing, but lots of fan-art have been created.
