Snap Shot



Snap Shot is the femslash ship between Mikan Tsumiki and Mahiru Koizumi from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
During their time at Hope's Peak during the prequel anime, Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc, it is shown that Mahiru is friends with a number of the girls in her class, including Mikan, stated to be one of her 'best friends.' She is one of the only students to call Mikan by her first name in the original Japanese version. In addition, Mikan and Mahiru are notably two of the very few students who attended class regularly before the arrival of teacher Chisa Yukizome.

During Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Mahiru is the only student to assist and defend Mikan after her tumble into an awkward, revealing pose. The photographer gladly helps the nurse up, and defends her from the lewdness of their fellow students. Mahiru is very gentle with Mikan, and expresses concern for her 'skill' of falling over into such exposing poses. It is Mahiru who tends to and cheers up Mikan after these incidents, warning her to be more careful next time.

Due to the Twilight Syndrome Murder Case motive, Mikan was one of the girls invited by Mahiru to the beach house. However, the former never showed up, attending Sonia's girls-only swimming trip instead. Because of this, Mahiru was able to be murdered. Mikan shows heavy grief over Mahiru's death, going so far as to blame herself for her failure to attend the meeting.

Awakening from the Neo World Program, Mahiru and Mikan are seen in the final moments of Hope Arc, standing together on the boat. Mikan had tripped into another awkward pose as Mahiru, Ibuki, and Hiyoko continued to stand over her. Mahiru is seen later on striking up a conversation with her.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Mahiru's kindness towards Mikan, their interactions in the DR3 anime, and their connection to the Twilight Syndrome Murder Case. However, the ship is naturally overshadowed by the two's more popular ships such as Komamiki, Hinamiki, and BandAid for Mikan, and Soapies and Hinazumi for Maihiru.
