Akameno is the femslash ship between Kaede Akamatsu and Himiko Yumeno in the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon[]

Himiko and Kaede are both characters in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. However, the two characters barely interact due to Kaede's early death in the game. With Kaede as the protagonist for the first chapter, though, they do get the opportunity to grow closer through the Free Time Events. When first meeting Himiko, Kaede is surprised to hear that she believes magic exists. However, she tries to encourage Himiko when she explains that no one ever believes her about being a mage. Shuichi Saihara and Kaede then suggest that Himiko can use her magic to send them all home, but she explains magic doesn't work that way. Kaede is also seen comforting Himiko, attempting to reassure her about being stuck in the academy. Kaede tells her that they should be out of there in no time.

Later, Himiko follows Kaede's lead, along with the other students, in trying to escape via the Death Road of Despair. She follows Kokichi's lead later, when he declares that the whole thing is pointless. When Kaede is executed at the end of the first trial, Himiko doesn't seem to hold any great concern. On the contrary, she seems almost bored by the proceedings.

The two do not share any direct interactions in the non-canonical Ultimate Talent Development Plan or Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp. In Danganronpa S they are both present in a group event with seven of their other classmates, but they do not speak with each other.

Free Time Events[]

In their first event, Kaede tries to hang out with Himiko. However, Himiko is too tired to do much of anything. Kaede can make a number of suggestions, including going to the library or going for a walk, but Himiko will brush them all off as being "a pain". Kaede tries to remind her that life is to be lived, but Himiko doesn't seem to care. Their interaction ends with Kaede thinking that Himiko is extremely lazy.

In their second event, Kaede approaches Himiko due to being worried about her. Himiko is surprised by this, and asks if Kaede is "playing for the other team". When Kaede is confused by this remark, Himiko brushes it off. The conversation turns to the topics of their talents, and Kaede remembers that Himiko said she likes to make people smile. Himiko agrees, and Kaede says that is the goal of her piano performances as well. Kaede determines the reason she was so worried about Himiko is because the two of them are a lot alike. Himiko tries to refute this, but Kaede won't let her. She says that they should work together to escape the school but, to Kaede's surprise, Himiko just says that it sounds like a "pain".

Quotes[]

Himiko“Nyeehhh.. So we're stuck here...”
Kaede“Yeah, looks like it... But don't be scared, I'm sure we'll be out here in a jiffy!”
— The first interaction between the two.
Himiko“It's all a ruse... They're keeping my magic a secret by disguising it as tricks. Because of this ruse, I became famous all over the world for performing tricks. But... *sniffle* ...I'm not a magician... I'm a mage... Nobody believes me...”
Kaede“There there, don't be sad...”
— Kaede trying to make Himiko feel better about her talent backstory.
Himiko“This is normal for me... If you don't like it, talk to someone else...”
Kaede“It's not that I don't like it. It's just... I'm worried about your well-being.”
Himiko“There's no need to worry. Actually, why are you paying so much attention to me anyway?”
Kaede“Hm? Mmm... I just worry about you for some reason...”
— Kaede being concerned for Himiko.
Himiko“Sheesh...my magic has brought smiles to many children, y'know?”
Kaede“Oooohhh! I got it! I know why you bother me so much, Himiko!”
Himiko“Huh? Are you...a mage, too?”
Kaede“No, not that... You talked about putting smiles on people's faces, right? I feel the same way. Seeing smiles on everyone's faces after my performances were so much fun. Don't you feel the same way, Himiko?”
Himiko“Yes... When I see children smiling because of my magic... It makes me happy. It's fun.”
Kaede“We're very similar in that sense, so I was concerned about you.”
— Kaede saying her and Himiko are alike.

Fanon[]

The ship most likely sailed because of the characters' personalities going well together, with Himiko's lazy personality and Kaede being rather energetic. Kaede also points out that she and Himiko have a lot in common, beneath the surface. The ship's main rivals are Tenmiko for Himiko, and Saimatsu and Irumatsu for Kaede. Though receiving a bit of fanart, this is considered a rare pair in the fandom.

There are currently over 20 works for Akameno on AO3.
