KimiYoi

"But, I also think you're gentle, Kimidzuki."

- Yoichi to Kimizuki

KimiYoi is the slash ship between Shiho Kimizuki and Yoichi Saotome from the Seraph of the End fandom.

Anime
Firstly Yoichi and Kimizuki aren't interacting as much. Yoichi mostly was trying to keep Shiho and Yuichiro from arguing. Shiho also seemed to be kinda shocked when Yoichi got posssessed by his Demon and helped Yuichiro to fight Yoichi and seemed to be suprised, but also happy when Yoichi turned back to himself. Shiho and Yoichi then later join the same Squad. Shiho later also agrees to Yoichi's plan to go back to Shibuya, tough the plan never comes to use.

In Chapter 20 of the Manga, Shinoa and Mitsuba are acting as Yuichiro and Shiho and say that Shiho is so "Gentle". When the acting is over, Shiho ask's Yoichi if he can kill Mitsuba and Shinoa. Yoichi doesn't seem to take the question seriously and answers that he also think's that Kimizuki is gentle. Shinoa then screams that Yoichi shouldn't fall for Shiho's charm. When Shiho wakes up, from his conversation with his Demon and attacks Yuichiro with his sword. Yoichi seems to be worried, that Shiho could have been possessed by his Demon.

When Mika attacks the Demon Army to rescue Yuichiro, both Yoichi and Shiho defend Yuichiro. After Yoichi recognizes Mika as Yuichiro's family member, Shiho and Yoichi agree to Shinoa's plan to defend Mika, because he is Yuichiro's family. Both Yoichi and Shiho are happy to see Yuichiro alive, when he is rejoining his squad with Mika. Yoichi is later worried about Shiho when he get's stabbed by Guren. In the Anime Yoichi is taking a hurted Shiho piggyback. Tough in the Manga, Mitsuba was taking Shiho piggyback, while Yoichi was taking Yuichiro piggyback.

Manga
In the Manga, after the events from the Anime, Yoichi and Shiho are always togehter, showing that they became close friends. In Chapter 70, Yoichi say's that he wants to go with Shiho to rescue his sick sister. Shiho warn's Yoichi that he possible would be killed if he help's him. Yoichi say's that he's gotta be there to protect Shiho, because they are members of the same family. Later, Yoichi and Shiho actually rescue Shiho's sister. Guren emerges from nowhere and say's that he has to kill Shiho's sister.

Shiho and Yoichi visibly confuses Guren's statement. Guren then stab's Shiho's sister in the Heart. Shiho makes this so angry, that he then is about to get possessed by his Demon but Yoichi stops him.
