1. Kaimaki

Kaimaki is probably the most popular maki ship and I think it’s absolutely adorable!!!! Im only at the investigation for chapter one on my personal play through but I’ve seen so many other play the game, and I really like their development throughout the story, and it’s a GREAT ship regarding angst potential….HOWEVER!!!! It does seem a little rushed when Maki confesses to Kaito in chapter 5 and I think it would have been better being just implied, in fact LESS people probably would have shipped it if she didn’t do the last minute confession….besides….that confession should have gone to someone else….BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT MY SHUICHI SHIPS LATER!!!!

2. Kaemaki

So similar to Kaimaki I’m I right? Nope! It’s Kaede and Maki!!! I believe in lesbian Kaede supremacy, and despite their only being one chapter in the game where they interacted, they were so cute when they did!!! I did maki’s first fte and even though maki was more closed off with Kaede, you can tell that she wants to open up to her, if only a little bit! This is one of the ships however that I do believe would work better in a non-despair au where they’re all students at hpa.

Well that’s the end of my main ships! Kaimaki ingame Kaemaki non-despair au

Time for the less popular ships/rare pairs!!!!

3. Saimaki

Saimaki is basically Maki choosing shuichi instead of kaito and while I wasn’t the biggest fan of it at first, I had to admit that in an au where the survivors were truly the only ones to survive, they are ADORABLE! I need them slowly getting better and falling in love while doing so, and just in general I believe that they’re good for each other, whether it’s romantic in a survivor only au or platonic in every other au! (I prefer them platonic but they earned a spot in my top 5 romantic maki ships)

4. Irumaki

DO THEY INTERACT MUCH IN THE GAME!? NO! But look, I can see them balancing each other out pretty fucking well in a non-despair au, and unlike the other ships mentioned (and the next one) I can only ever see this romantically for some reason, which is weird because with my headcanons for them, their pretty similar to each other, yet different at the same time….after this I’m gonna look for an irumaki fic and fanart cuz we need more of them.

Also….Maki x Miu x Kaede is fucking peak and I’m not taking disagreements!!!
