Michiru x Nagahiro

Michiru x Nagahiro is the slash ship between Nagahiro Sakiguchi and Michiru Fukuroi from the Pretty Boy Detective Club fandom.

Canon
Michiru Fukuroi and Nagahiro Sakiguchi reportedly have a rivalry over their opposite positions on the social ladder of the school, although this feud is put on on hold during club activities.

The Dark Star that Shines for You Alone
Mayumi enters the detective club room to see the school resident troublemaker, Michiru Fukuroi wearing an apron. He comments on how gloomy she seems, but is interrupted by Nagahiro Sakiguchi reprimanding him for being rude. Michiru tells him to stop being complaining while drinking the tea he brewed for him. Michiru later takes Nagahiro's cup away from him onto a plate.

On the beach, Mayumi expresses her surprise at seeing Michiru and Nagahiro being friends. Michiru scoffs at her assumption, saying that they true only in the art room, under the president's watch.

In passing, Michiru says that despite Mayumi seeing the private satellite, nothing would happen to her. He then asks for confirmation of this sentence from Nagahiro. Manabu later appears in the doorway, assigns Michiru and Nagahiro as the "good boys", then sends them off to class. Once Hyota catches up to the kidnappers, he gives them a phone where Michiru and Nagahiro are on the other end, waiting for make a deal. Nagahiro sets the terms, while Michiru threatens for both parties' safety.

The Swindler, the Vanishing Man, and the Pretty Boys
After Nagahiro's loss at the casino, they return to the art room to discuss Nagahiro's plan. Michiru tells him to begin the explanation at the very beginning while handing out spaghetti. When Nagahiro gets to the part about the deal being made with the Twenties, Michiru asks if he meant slot machines and poker tables. They converse about the possible reasons that Fudatsuki might have deals in, before finally reaching a conclusion.

The Pretty Boy Traveling with the Brocade Portrait
Michiru meets up with Mayumi in the hallway after she sees a girl wearing a traditional kimono. She asks him if he knows where Nagahiro might be, and he answers that although his schedule is usually unpredictable around this time of year due to his student council work. Michiru suddenly confronts Mayumi about how she never calls Nagahiro with a nickname, pushing her to act more casual around all the club members, despite their ranking at school or age. Michiru places the reason of his & Nagahiro's relationship in Manabu, and then recommends for Mayumi to start calling Nagahiro "Mr. President" during their next meeting. When the rest of the club has no idea as to who the perpetrator of the sent hagoita might be, Michiru suggests that they use Nagahiro's deductive skills to figure it out. Back in the art room, Nagahiro proposes that the best course for the sender (now revealed as Kodaki) would be to apologize and own up to the hagoita, but Michiru disregards that idea as impossible. Nagahiro reassures him that he has a great idea already planned.

During the second day of sharing theories for the hagoita, Michiru nominates that they directly interrogate Kodaki instead. Nagahiro frowns at the idea, repeating that they needed strict evidence so that she couldn't deny it. Michiru looks away with his hand on his head, saying that the solution to the 'demon' should just be for Nagahiro to dump her. Though Hyota explains that it's because of Nagahiro's lolita complex, the student president sighs and accepts the idea, outright stating to break up with her as of that day.

The Pretty Boy on D. Hill
Mayumi dramatically announces her melancholy about becoming student council president, while Nagahiro mutters about disapproval. Michiru notices and notes how although Nagahiro rarely shows up, when he does, he is complaining. He pours his tea, asking after the votes that Nagahiro had already locked in, snidely commenting about the minority voice not being heard in an election. When Michiru brings up Naganawa, the other election candidate, Nagahiro tells him that she was in a car accident, and currently hospitalized.

Nagahiro ends up nominating Mayumi as the next Student President candidate. She pretends to act modestly, understanding that she was the best underclassman for the job, but instead, Nagahiro says it was because she was the one person he didn't mind being run over. Michiru agrees, deadpan, that he wouldn't mind her dying from a conspiracy theory either. Mayumi tries to nominate Michiru because he has pull as "Bossman", but he quickly averts that idea, saying that nobody would believe if Nagahiro were to endorse him.

At the meeting, Michiru seriously asks Nagahiro if Mayumi had any realistic chance to win the election. Nagahiro says she does, though it would be close. He wonders about the second candidate, Yokuya, and Michiru jumps to to add his suspicion of said candidate possibly being integrated in the hit-and-run.

On Michiru and Mayumi's walk home, Michiru carefully suggests an idea that he knows Nagahiro wouldn't want to hear. He implies that perhaps the car accident was all a sham, though any of the motives he could think of made him sick. Mayumi reasons that her intention may have been to ruin Nagahiro's political plans, tying in with Michiru's thoughts. He orders Mayumi to meet him at Naganawa's house, without telling Nagahiro.

Fanon
Despite the fandom not being extremely popular, is one of the prominent ships in the Pretty Boy Detective Club anime. It is rivaled by MichiMayu, the ship between Michiru and Mayumi. Many fans like this ship because of how their interactions can be interpreted as sexual tension. They also embody the rivals-to-lovers trope (as Michiru is known as a "delinquent", while Nagahiro is the school president) which is also a popular trope, adding to the minor popularity of this ship. It is sometimes shipped alongside Hyoutoin, the ship between Hyota and Sotoin.
