Polyneed

Polyneed is the poly ship between Ichika Hoshino, Saki Tenma, Honami Mochizuki and Shiho Hinomori from the Project SEKAI fandom.

Canon
Ichika, Saki, Honami and Shiho are all childhood friends as well as members of the band Leo/need, where Ichika is their vocalist and guitarist, Shiho is their bassist, Honami is their drummer and Saki is their keyboardist. Their band's name comes from the meteor shower Leonids, which the four saw together when they were younger. They all also attend Miyamasuzaka Girls' Academy as first-year high school students.

Prior to the formation of Leo/need, the girls became estranged in middle school after Saki was hospitalized, Honami deciding to avoid getting bullied by only hanging out with one friend group, and Shiho refusing to associate herself with the other three so they wouldn't get badmouthed and bullied.

After their shaky start, they end up becoming close again and regaining the bond they had in their childhood.

Quotes
"(It was such a terrible session... Yet... I can't forget the music we made together that day... I wonder why?"

- Shiho in "Lingering Melody" first side story

"Such a nice breeze... We used to come here for picnics, I think... We'd lay out a big tarp, Saki's mom would bring us all snacks and... Oh, that was when Honami started developing a taste for apple pies too. There was also that time I ended up outside the park after looking so hard for a four-leaf clover, and made everyone look for me instead. Hehe. So many memories..."

- Ichika in Singing Among the Cherry Blossoms Chapter 5 - What We Took Back

Fanon
Polyneed is quite popular, mainly due to their status as childhood friends. Some people prefer shipping the girls separately, such as in the form of Ichisaki and Shihonami (which are the most popular ships for the girls respectively).
