YukaMori

YukaMori is the non-binary ship between Ayukawa Ryuji and Maru Mori from the Blue Period fandom.

Canon
During high school, they seemed to be close friends as Yuka would often help Mori with different parts of her work, bringing them to the art club.

Yuka and Mori were first introduced at the beginning, who is Yuka first seen jumping high while carrying an easel across the hallway. Mori is then seen following Yuka trying to stop them while running behind them seemingly tired due to too much running trying to catch them. When Yatora forgets his cigarrettes and arrives to the art class to pick them up, he sees Mori's art right in front of him. When he was captivated with the painting, he approached to it to see the image closer but then Yuka intervenes while telling him to not to touch the painting, as it was still drying.

The next day, Yaguchi sees Mori carrying an easel by herself and helps her while Mori recalls him as "the guy who was talking with Yuka-chan".

When the summer break arrives, Saeki announces the assignment they had to do in the summer break, which was ten sheets of drawing paper for dessin and watercolor plus a scrapbook with some photo papers. Saeki then says that the art club would be opened twice a week during the break, and advices to the students on keeping their grades up and if they needed something from the art club, they could take them. At the same moment, Yuka and Mori are seen chatting, while Yuka asks Mori about going to the cram school, Mori affirms it while adding that she would be taking the summer program there. Yuka then comments on coming to the art club instead of drawing at home, as Mori says that it was hard to have a self-control to sit and draw for several hours every day. Mori then finishes adding that nobody could complete the assignments in full, incluiding herself. Yuka monologues about what Mori said once they split away;

"Even if you love drawing, It's not easy to have the will power to sit and concentrate on one task for several hours. Especially for mundane tasks such as dessin. For 2nd years without any entrance exams to worry about to do that is..."

Once the summer break finished, everyone on the art club are seen admiring the work of other students besides their own. Mori is seen commenting on Yuka's scrapbook being so fancy. Yaguchi approaches to Mori asking her if she was one of the best students at the cram school she went. Mori denies the fact, as she announced being 5th from the bottom, and everyone on the art club, incluiding Yuka, stare at her astonished.

When december arrives, Shirai comments that the song put on by the media club was dark, while asking if something happened. Yuka comments while feeling down that it was because of Mori's admission result to Musahino Art University, that it should've been announced around noon, but it was already late. When Saeki asked the students if they wanted to go to cram school winter classes, Mori arrives saluting everyone. Yuka worriedly calls Mori senpai as the latter approaches to the group apologizing for being late. She announces that she had received the results at noon, and indirectly says that she passed, commenting that her mom insisted on getting sushi. Yuka heartedly congratulates Mori as they approached to her, while the latter thanks Yuka for all the help they have given to her and in the next moment, Yuka hugs Mori.

Once Yaguchi and Yuka finished their first day at Tobi, Yaguchi was worried about being a mere human after seeing Yotasuke's art. Yuka tells him that people never try to compare themselves against God. Yuka adds that back in there, there were people who blocked themselves out of the equation when they praised [Takahashi], and nextly Yuka asks Yaguchi if that was how he view Mori. Yuka finishes with adding that if he was upset, it meant he was willing to fight.

Once Mori graduates from high school, the art club members congratulate her giving a bouquet of flowers which was big for her. Maru happily says that she could get so much practice drawing flowers, and Yuka proposes to Mori on having them float on a bath and take a picture instead of drawing the flowers, and Yaguchi intervenes while telling them to cut out the art club talk.

In the art club, Yuka asked Yaguchi if the f-100 was the one that Mori did, which Yaguchi affirms as he's seen seemingly going to draw something. Yuka then proposes Yaguchi to visit Mori after reminding that there was no cram school that day. While Yuka and Yaguchi were riding in a bus, Yuka comments how Mori was sad because Yaguchi didn't visit her before. Yuka playfully asks Yaguchi if he was scared for seeing Mori, and Yaguchi only responds he was looking forward for seeing Mori's angel paintings. He then asks Yuka if they would visit Mori too, and when they arrive, Yaguchi is surprised that they wouldn't come along, as they were going to go for a walk. After finishing the visiting, Yuka asks in a surprised tone about him being back already, while Yaguchi claims he didn't see Mori there as Yuka insisted him to wait for her a bit more.

Moments

 * In Chapter 4's extra, in "About Yuka-chan", it's noted how they're called "Yuka" because of "Ayukawa", and then Mori asks about it not being "Ayu-chan" instead, and Yuka responds that Ayu was their godness.
 * In Volume 2 cover, Yaguchi, Mori, and Yuka are seen walking together, with Mori being between both.

Fanon
It's relatively small compared to other ships like YatoYuka or YatoMori, but it's one of the appreciated ships on the fandom because of their interactions being cute to fans. The headcanon of them dating it's also known for the ship, and there are fan arts of them though very limited because as mentioned, it's small, being a rarepair at the same time.

While it's not as big in comparison as YatoYota, which has more popularity, it's shipped alongside with it due of those who prefer shipping Yuka with Mori rather than with Yatora. The ship is also view as platonic because of the senpai-kouhai relationship between them, making them a mother-child alike. On AO3 there are 9+ fan fictions for them created for romantic and 5+ for gen.
