Shihonami

Shihonami is the femslash ship between Shiho Hinomori and Honami Mochizuki from the Project SEKAI fandom.

Main Story
Shiho and Honami are fellow members of the rock band Leo/need, as well as childhood friends, along with Ichika Hoshino and Saki Tenma. They both attend Miyamasuzaka Girls' Academy as first-year stduents. Shiho is the band's bassist, and Honami is their drummer. After Saki was hospitalized in middle school and stopped attending school, the four childhood friends, including Shiho and Honami, parted ways. Honami started to avoid Shiho and the other girls so as not to be bullied, and to prevent Shiho and Ichika from being badmouthed by others because of her. This is because Honami is known around school as a "pushover", too nice, and was often accused of not being able to take sides in middle school. Due to this fact, Honami thought the best course of action would be to only remain friends with people inside of her own class, in attempts to "stay loyal" to them. After Saki learns about this fact, she makes the decision to give up on trying to get Honami into the band, where Shiho noticed Saki isn't at all happy with this, but only doing it to give Honami the space she needs. Shiho then finds Honami after class the day Saki did that, and yelled at Honami for not being considerate of how it made the Saki and even Shiho and Ichika feel, resulting in Honami starting to wonder if she made the wrong decision, and Shiho worrying that she was too harsh on her. They eventually make up at the end story, where Honami finally reveals her true feelings, and she, Shiho, Ichika, and Saki officially form Leo/Need.

Fanon
Shihonami is one of the most popular ships for both Shiho and Honami, partly due to their opposite personalities: Honami is the gentle, caring one of the group, whereas Shiho is shown to be relatively blunt and cold in most cases. In AO3, it is the 2nd most popular ship tag for both after Honakana and Shihosaki, while in the Eastern fandom it is their most popular ship. It is mostly shipped alongside Ichisaki, although some people ship the four in a polyamorous relationship.

A Shihonami Week will be held from December 28, 2022 till January 3, 2023.
