Kanaena

Kanaena is the femslash ship between Kanade Yoisaki and Ena Shinonome from the Project SEKAI fandom.

Canon
Kanade is an online school student, and Ena is a second year night school student at Kamiyama High School. They are part of the same music circle, "Nightcord at 25:00", also known as Niigo or Nightcord. Ena is strong willed, but tends to be quite a bit nicer to Kanade than she is to others, and Kanade is the leader of Niigo who is rather reserved.

Kanade and Ena first met when Kanade invited Ena to be the illustrator for her music group, thinking highly of her art. Ena has always struggled with thinking that her art was not very good compared to others'.

Unsatisfied Pale Color
Angered by her father talking down on her, Ena begins to make a painting for an art competition. While out buying art supplies, she runs into Kanade, and tells her about the art contest. When Ena admits that she is worried, Kanade reassures her, telling her she ikes her art. Later at her house, Ena thinks about what Kanade said and is happy she ran into her.

Later, despairing about not winning anything in the contest, Ena pulls up Niigo's comment section for reassurance on her art skills, only to find people saying her art style is peculiar, and talking to her father only makes her feel worse. In the Niigo voice chat, Ena gets angry at Mafuyu, accusing her of not understanding and then leaving call to go to Sekai, leaving Kanade and Mizuki confused on what happened.

While Ena is in the Sekai starting to understand why Mafuyu stayed there so much, Kanade talks in the chat about how Ena's art helps the group's music reach more people, saying that she isn't an accessory and helps them get more views. While the group is wondering where Ena went, Kanade comes up with Sekai, where Mafuyu was before.

In the Sekai, Ena again thinks about how Kanade said she liked her art. Rin starts to sing a song that Kanade just made for Ena, which attracts her over. Later, Miku tells Niigo to come to Sekai, where Ena apologizes to everyone for making them worry. Ena tells Kanade the songs she makes are soothing to the point they make her heart ache. Kanade tells Ena she wants her to draw something for the song, but Ena says that she is scared because no matter how much she draws, she never gets recognition. Kanade and Mizuki comfort her, and Kanade tells her that if she needs someone to notice her art, she would be that person, and that she's essential for Niigo.

Fanon
