'

Sakumaru is the Het ship between Sakura Ogami and Nekomaru Nidai from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Nekomaru and Sakura have never met, due to being from different games. but, they have a event together in Ultimate Talent Development Plan, and a few In Danganronpa S. Also, both of them are quite similar. Both have something to do with fighting, and both are buff.

In Ultimate Talent Development Plan, Nekomaru asks Sakura if she has finished training. Sakura asks if he was watching, he says it’s his job to check-in on others, they then talk a little and Nekomaru says that Sakura has gotten stronger, as a compliment. Soon after, Nekomaru says that he’ll help Sakura get stronger.

In Sakura’s event with just Nekomaru, they appear to be training. Sakura apologizes for taking up his time, while Nekomaru tells her to not worry about that. They then talk about Akane, and Sakura says that Nekomaru truly is a Manager of his core. Nekomaru then tells Sakura to fight him again.

Fanon
Sakumaru is quite unpopular, and not many people know about the ship. It also has very little fanart, Sakumaru currently only has about 2+ works on AO3. Other people may prefer Akanidai for Nekomaru, and Sakuraoi for Sakura. The ship sailed mainly due to them being so similar, and their events in Danganronpa S and Ultimate Talent Development Plan.
