Monisuki is the femslash ship between Monika and Natsuki from the Doki Doki Literature Club! fandom.
Canon[]
Monika and Natsuki are two members of the Literature Club in the hit game, Doki Doki Literature Club!. Both girls appear in the main storyline, as well as featuring in some of the side stories. Monika appears in all the stories, while Natsuki’s debut is seen in the side story called “Respect”.
Doki Doki Literature Club[]
In Act 1 of the game, Monika asks Natsuki if she likes to write poems about cute things. Natsuki seemed to be embarrassed at Monika's question, as she turns red and asks Monika what gives her this idea. Monika says that she left a scrap of paper behind last club meeting and that it looked like she worked on a poem. However, before Monika could say the name of the poem, Natsuki screams that she shouldn't say it aloud and that she should give the poem back, which Monika does.
When Natsuki starts glitching while reading with Protagonist Monika asks if she is okay and throws her a protein bar saying "That's why I always keep a snack in my bag for her."[1]
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus[]
In DDLC+, in the side story, "Respect". Natsuki finally joins the Literature Club, being her, the last one to join before the Protagonist does. The three started introducing themselves to Natsuki, starting first with Monika. When introducing herself, Natsuki tells her that she had figured that it was her club, telling her she had that vibe. Monika then asked what vibe she had. Natsuki tries to answer so but didn't and told that she's not going to judge people that she just met.
With Monika asking Natsuki what kind of literature is she into, Natsuki replies with manga. Though Monika didn't really considered manga being literature at all, though yet Natsuki still wanted to join the club so Natsuki tells her that she'll join any club activities that she want so, Monika then agreed so. Natsuki was happy and thanked her for it, she also told that she was the best. Monika still wasn't that happy though.
Natsuki leaves the room to get all of her mangas since she had most of them in her locker. Sayori tried to cheer up Monika despite her not considering manga as literature. Telling that Natsuki seemed having fun, but Monika tells her that Natsuki has no actual interest in literature, though she said it's normally fine.
Within the next club meeting, Monika seemed less relaxed ever since Natsuki joined the club. Monika was the first to arrive, within the second, Natsuki arrives. Monika starts forcing herself to smile in front of Natsuki. When Natsuki makes her way to the closet, Monika asks her if she is in needs of help. Natsuki declined it saying she's got it, Monika peeks into the closet where Natsuki was stashing all of her manga since she was curious. Monika tells her that the top shelf was empty. Natsuki explains that she can't reach it due to her height, and that it would be inconvenient for her to do so.
With Sayori and Yuri finally arriving, the four decided to go over some potential club activities, while having some ideas what to do. Monika asks Natsuki again if she is sure that she doesn't have any other literature interests that she could share with the club, saying that she doesn't really mind if she keeps her manga in there. Monika was about to say something else until Natsuki cuts her words off, saying that it felt obvious that she wasn't needed in the club. She then leaves the room, leaving to Sayori running after her.
Natsuki wondered why Monika was such a jerk, saying that she should be grateful that she joined her "stupid" club, Sayori tells Natsuki that Monika is actually really nice, and that she cares a lot about everyone in the club being happy. Natsuki didn't believe that statement, so Sayori tells her usually since Monika did felt less relaxed ever since she joined the club so.
The next day comes, starting with Monika. Monika decided to find Natsuki, having the fear that she might avoid coming to the club. After some time, she finally finds her. Though she saw Natsuki with some of her friends who she doesn't know, she tried to listen to their conversation. Hearing their conversation, Natsuki's friends were being mean to her, so Monika felt bad for Natsuki, not being able to defend her, she knew that she was being awful to her.
Monika then heads back to the clubroom, seeing Yuri, and decided to talk, telling her that Natsuki has kind of blunt attitude and made her feel like she wasn't taking the club seriously. Until her friends were being mean to her, she felt bad for her. Sayori then bursts through the door and tells she's having an intervention, about Natsuki. Though Monika was just talking about it with Yuri, she apologized telling she was just talking about it with Yuri. They then decided to have a plan.
The next day comes with Monika and Yuri being the first to arrive, and then finally Sayori and Natsuki. Monika then started an activity and yet, it was all about manga literature. Assuming this was what the three were all planning for Natsuki, she thinks that Monika is just forcing it but Monika apologizes her and asks if she could make it up to her for it. Natsuki thought Monika was just lying, but Sayori told her she wasn't, and did it all by herself, Yuri also agrees with Sayori. Monika tells that she thinks she deserves to share the joy along with everybody else.
A week has passed since Natsuki was able to finally return to the Literature Club. Monika approaches Natsuki on the way out. Monika asks if she's in a hurry, Natsuki said no and asks why. Monika tells her that she wanted to show something, if she had a few minutes. Natsuki said sure so Monika asks her to follow to the music room.
When going to the music room, Monika tells her she could only wish she was strong as Natsuki was, saying that she inspired her to start working on it; though Natsuki said that she didn't even do anything, but Monika replies back with Natsuki just being herself. Monika informs Natsuki that there was something else that she was going to tell: She have might of read a little bit of her manga.
Natsuki was surprised and asks her why she didn't tell her. Monika of course apologizes about it. Monika told that the manga she was reading had a character that was in the literature club, Natsuki knew which manga she read, and so it was called "Parfait Girls". Natsuki tells Monika that she has good taste. Though Monika tells her just one volume and she just picked it up randomly. Monika tells that character also plays the piano, something she always wanted to do.
And so, Monika then walks up to the piano and sits down. With that, she finally starts playing the piano, when finishing up, Natsuki compliments her saying that was so good. Monika though thought it wasn't, but Natsuki told her that she was already like a pro at it.
Fanon[]
Monisuki is a rare-pair within the Doki Doki Literature Club! fandom. Often overshadowed by ship's like Natsuri, Sayonika and Monika x MC.
The ship sailed because of Natsuki's and Monika's opposite personalities, Natsuki being a Tsundere, while Monika is a Yandere and, from the outside, is nearly perfect. Some people see it more like a sister-sister relationship, though the ship is more popular as femslash ship. For some fans of the ship it helped that Monika is heavily implied to be pansexual because of her being attracted to the player, not the "MC," though Natsuki's sexuality isn't known.
Monisuki has about 42 fanfictions on Archive of Our Own.
