"I can't listen to this anymore. I'll slice you up into shreds... Female Titan!"

- Mikasa to Annie

MikAni is the femslash ship between Mikasa Ackerman and Annie Leonhardt from the Attack on Titan fandom.

Canon
Mikasa and Annie were both graduates in the top ten, Annie ranking fourth and Mikasa first. While their interactions stayed limited, Mikasa knew about Annie well enough to come up to her and ask to spar. Annie becomes a little surprised, but agrees to do so. When they start, it stirs arguements between the cadets, as they are both known to be the best in hand-to-hand combat. Before they could've started, Shadis interrupted them and stopped the fight.

Prior to the Female Titan's arc, they hadn't talked or met up at all, due to Annie having graduated into the Military Police, and Mikasa graduating into the Survey Corps. After Annie had kidnapped Eren, Mikasa went after her, only to be stopped by Levi. On their way, Mikasa sees her and takes no hesitation into attempting to kill her. After Eren is saved, Mikasa ends up relieved. When Erwin had asked about the Female Titan's ability, Mikasa was quick to mention Annie, and say how they looked similar. She then noted Annie's techniques, which shows the possibility that she'd watched Annie in battle and knew about her fighting skills.

When they format a plan to capture her, they attempt to take her underground. It doesn't work, as Annie mentions how she's fragile, which angers Mikasa. She then takes off her cape and shows her ODM gear, claiming that she'll dice her up into pieces. At this, Annie starts laughing, and is then captured by members of the Military. She then takes her ring and uses the blade in it to transform, which surprises Mikasa, who says that she's a step ahead of them. When Eren is hesitant to kill Annie, Mikasa tells him that she's the one who killed all his comrades, showing that Mikasa truly didn't care about Annie and had little care for her death. She then runs out the tunnel and attacks Annie, although she is succesful into running away. After she injures Eren, Annie starts climbing up the Wall, but Mikasa gets there before she can reach the top and slices her fingers, then landing on her head and telling her to fall.

Annie is then crystalized until 854. When Armin talks about the possibility of Annie being back, Mikasa finds it hard to believe. They do eventually meet up, but don't talk much, and instead focus on heading over to Reiner. As they reunite with Hange and the others, they still keep a tensed relationship. There, Annie asks if Mikasa'll be able to kill Eren, which angers her. She then takes out her swords, which Annie responds by taking the blade out her ring. While they don't fight, this sparks a stronger rivalry between the two. The two agree to ally and stop the Rumbling. They then go to the harbor, although the Jaegerists have already captured it, so it id their job to kill them. Annie transforms into the Female Titan, and they help eachother fight. When the plan has changed, Mikasa goes over to Annie and tells them about it. After Annie is greatly injured by the Thunder Spears, Mikasa helps her get on the boat, and shows that they are now close enough to help eachother as friends.

When Annie learns of Liberio's destruction, she becomes devastated. Mikasa then has to hold her back. When Annie claims that she doesn't want to fight them, Mikasa becomes surprised. They then rest elsewhere for the night, to prepare the flying boat. There, Mikasa tells Annie to put her equipment on, although Annie says that she's done fighting for now. Talking about her life, Annie proceeds to look at Armin, which shocks Mikasa, and figures out that she has feelings for him. Mikasa asks when it started, angering Annie. Mikasa tells her that Armin's coming with them on the flying boat, and that she doesn't have to keep suffering. Annie asks if Mikasa'll kill him, to which Mikasa declines. As she leaves, Annie asks where her scarf if, Mikasa replying that she doesn't wear it anymore.

Arriving upon Eren's back, Mikasa and the Scouts are in dire state, until Annie saves them with Falco's Titan. She then asks how Pieck's doing, although Mikasa replies with Armin's state, and that he's been captured. Jean then tells Mikasa that they have to kill Eren, which shocks her, before Annie grabs her collar and tells her that they just need to focus on saving Armin. Mikasa then agrees to do so, and form a plan to save him, with Connie. Mikasa tries to describe the Titan that captured him, with no luck. Annie tells at her to take it seriously, before Connie points it out. They then jump off and attempt to save Armin.

Fanon
