AoiNezu is the femslash ship between Aoi Kanzaki and Nezuko Kamado from the Demon Slayer fandom.
Canon[]
Aoi and Nezuko's limited on-screen interactions leave their relationship uncertain, but a presumed friendly bond is evident. Zenitsu once labeled Aoi as intimidating, but Tanjiro countered, noting her occasional kindness, such as when she repaired Nezuko's damaged box after Sanemi Shinazugawa wrecked it. Despite Tanjiro's gratitude, Aoi stated that it's just part of her job.
Their interaction likely extended to Nezuko's stay at the Butterfly Mansion. Aoi barged in and intervened when Zenitsu, who thought it looked really nice, presented Shinobu's pet goldfish to Nezuko as a way to impress her. Despite Aoi's initial anger, she refrained from punishing Nezuko, understanding that Nezuko likely didn't know about Zenitsu taking the goldfish from Shinobu's room.
When Nezuko is reverting back to human again, she starts to remember everyone, thus Aoi as well. Nezuko is shown to remember a time where Aoi smiled at her when she went inside of her box. So Nezuko has remembered times of the two interacting before.
In Tanjiro's status report, Tanjiro mentions that Nezuko often goes to visit Aoi and Kanao. When she is there, the girls spend time together and Tanjiro also mentions that Nezuko would get cooking tips.
Fanon[]
AoiNezu is barely recognized by the fandom mainly. This is because of their limited interactions on-screen and due to the fact that they are canonically married to Inosuke (AoIno) and Zenitsu (ZenNezu). The two are also often shipped with Kanao Tsuyuri, those ships being NezuKana, KanaAoi, and NezuKanaAo. This ship is also shipped alongside InoZen since the two girls are shipped together, their canon partners are shipped as well. The ship currently has only a few works on AO3 due to the two barely being shipped together. Despite it being a rarepair, it still has a decent amount of fans and is often showcased in TikTok videos.
Since it is mentioned in Tanjiro's status report that Nezuko would often visit Aoi and Kanao. Fans started to believe that Aoi and Nezuko friendship would grow. People tend to like the idea of Aoi helping Nezuko with improving her cooking skills. Fans of the pairing occasionally joke about the widespread misconception that Aoi liked Tanjiro at some point, but Tanjiro ended up with Kanao, Aoi's adoptive sister. Aoi decided to go for Tanjiro's sister, Nezuko, the same way Tanjiro went for her adoptive sister.
