Ritsumugi

Ritsunmug is the femslash ship between Ritsu Tainaka and Mugi Kotobuki from the K-On! fandom.

Canon
The two first met when Mugi mistakenly went into the Music Room with the intention of joining the Choir Club. Ritsu begged her to stay, but what convinced Mugi in the end was witnessing the "fun and painful interaction" between Ritsu and Mio. They both have an overall polite relationship, however, an exception occured when Mugi suggested that if Ritsu was a boy, then she would be popular with all the girls. This causes Ritsu to become embarrassed, and she responds by hitting Mugi on the head.

The two do not have the closest relationship among the HTT members, but Mugi has always enjoyed Ritsu's company. One day, the two run into each other and decide to go out together. Ritsu brought Mugi to places like the arcade, because she knew that Mugi was rich so she would not have the chance to visit these places.

Ritsu said that even without Mio to help with homework, she always has Mugi, who she knows is a good student as well. She also knows that she can count on Mugi to help her. Ritsu was shocked when she found out about different perks of Mugi's life,(Such as having a housekeeper) due to her wealth. She is amazed that Mugi's life standard is so different from hers.

Fanon
Though this is not the most popular ship, due to the lack of interaction between the two, the ship still has a fair amount of fans. Since Ritsu asked Mugi to go out with her, and they had a few sweet moments together, people ship this. Shippers also point to the comment that Mugi made, which said that if Ritsu was a boy, she would be popular with the girls. They read this as Mugi indirectly telling Ritsu that she likes her.

This ship most commonly rivals ships like Mitsu and Mazusa. People who ship YuiAzu sometimes ship this as well. There are many fanarts and fanfics of the two, though not as much as some of the other ships in the fandom. The ship gained popularity in the episode, "Summer Classes!" because the two met and went out together.
