This year's Shumako week is being held on May 20 - 26! 🃏👑
✨️ PROMPTS ✨️
For this year, we added an optional AU prompt per day just for fun.
This makes it a total of 4 prompts you can choose from! Either mix and match, or pick one to focus on!
#shumako
#shumakoweek2024
Welcome Toshiro to the "rightfully assumed they're dating" party! 🎉
(And remember, the "just friends" thing is because they're hiding it 👀)
#shumako
#persona5
On their in-game date at Destinyland, Makoto and Ren are both disappointed because the headwear they want isn't seemingly available.
During the Persona 5 Good Smile x Cafe Animate collab, it's revealed that's because they're the only ones among the PT who wanted to get tophats!
During Strikers, the protagonist can invite Makoto on a movie date to the sequel of the movie they watched together almost a year ago, even if they're in the middle of an important investigation.
#shumako
"Ren Amamiya" is the official name given to the protagonist. The kanji for "Ren" can be translated as "lotus", as in the flower.
In Persona 5 Strikers, there's a certain girl wearing this particular flower on her yukata's design.... 👘
#shumako
#renamamiya
#makotoniijima
"We've all been thinking it."
Reminder of the time that Futaba just casually drops that the entire team ships them. The wink and finger pointing is not subtle at all. 😭
#shumako
Fun fact about the Christmas date in P5R!
Makoto's is the only one where the protagonist gets flustered when his date wipes the cream off his nose. She's also the happiest of the ladies to do this, since she gets the exclamation bars over her head while others don't.
#shumako
"She wasn’t naïve enough to think so, but she’d never done something like that before, and she couldn’t think of any other method. So, she just hoped he wouldn’t notice!"
- about Makoto's "stalking" being obvious, quote and illustration from Mementos Report vol. 2
#shumako
In Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, you can explore the rooms of every phantom thief in the dream world.
If their beds are inspected, Makoto's bed is the only one Ren comments on that he's aware Makoto is still sleeping, and he takes extra care not to disturb her.
#shumako
Each romanceable girl has unique dialogue during their goodbyes if the protag is dating them.
Makoto's goodbye dialogue confirms that their relationship was mostly kept secret due to Sojiro and Sae (who is the scarier of the two adult guardians, let's be real.)
#shumako
In one of her social events in Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, Ren telling Makoto he prefers her over Sae will fluster her-- but she blushes and smiles happily while doing so. ❤️
(And yes, Ann is clearly a shipper on board!)
#shumako
#MakotoNiijima
#renamamiya
#Persona5
Today in Persona 5 Strikers is when the Ferris Wheel Date happens! 🎡
Makoto correctly assumes it's a date, talks about her college life and also confirms how she wants to stay with her friends-- the protagonist being the one she wants to stay close to most of all.
#shumako
A small, but sweet detail; Makoto's rank 10 romanced description on the confidant screen is, arguably, the most romantic and intimate one of out all the possible romance choices in the game.
#shumako
Persona Change from the Comic à La Carte Anthology has some of the cutest panels of them together. It's just a really sweet short story as well.
#shumako
As a Valentine's day treat, here's the reveal of our featured art for our upcoming Shumako week event 2024, titled Crossroads!
This was drawn by the amazing
@Ro_X_e
!
Please look forward to the full dates and prompts announcements this weekend! ❤️💙
#shumako
#shumakoweek2024
Ren and Makoto have both been in situations where they were at their lowest without someone supporting them. One of the unique things about their relationship is that they constantly remind each other that they are not alone anymore.
#shumako
#MakotoNiijima
#renamamiya
#Persona5
If Makoto is unromanced and taken to Odaiba for a hang out, she will have a meaningful talk with the protagonist on how her life had changed after meeting the protagonist.
What's bittersweet is she drops a subtle hint of her real feelings before they part....
#shumako
The animation adapted the Velvet room jail scenes differently from the game to cut down on time.
The dub though, had every phantom thief member reacting to the protagonist either in surprise or by his code name, except Makoto... who calls him by his real name instead.
#shumako
Happy Valentine's day! ❤️
What makes Makoto's Valentine's date unique is that she's the only one among the protagonist's potential love interests to recognize he's emotionally hurting. She directly calls him out on it, as well as assures him she wants to support him.
#shumako
They could have warned everyone, but no, they single him out and warn him specifically like this because they know if he fumbles her by screwing up, he's doomed 😭
#shumako
Although in game everyone in the Phantom Thieves invites you to a movie, only the date with Makoto has been greatly expanded on and completely voice acted outside of the game!
Here's an excerpt from the Persona 5 The Animation Drama CD - Summer Diaries

#persona5
#shumako
By the way, Happy Birthday to Shumako's oblivious and unintentional third wheel/child tag-along! (He just wants food and they take good care of him 😊)
Happy Birthday Yusuke! 🎉
As the player avatar, Ren usually has a neutral reaction to everything unless prompted by player input.
The animation has its flaws, but thank you for giving us Protective Boyfriend Ren 🙏🏼
#shumako
TFW you're doing everything to make sure your gf is safe; from slicing questionable enemy appendages, to taking the hit for her so you get turned into a mouse instead of her
#shumako
Thank you for 1500 followers! Glad to celebrate the P5 OTP with our lovely community!🥰
We're also preparing for the much awaited ShuMako Week 2023 event😉
Stay tuned for announcements post the summer event!
#shumako
#Persona5
#Renamamiya
#MakotoNijima
#shumakoweek
Remember when Mementos Mission had that one chapter where we see Ren express visible fear for Makoto's life since she's in danger outside of the Metaverse, and he yells her name a lot and puts himself in danger for her? Here's a reminder.
#shumako
In the Persona 5 Animation, the iconic moment of Makoto being saved by Ren that happens in Futaba's palace is changed to happen during the fight with Shadow Sae instead. Ren is also the one who assures Makoto she'll save her sister, instead of Akechi saying it.
#shumako
During Strikers, going to the okonomiyaki restaurant in Osaka and purchasing the recipe available there will prompt (a blushing) Makoto to invite the protagonist to share a meal with her.
#shumako
In the manga, the events of the initial Kaneshiro investigation play out a little differently. Instead of just calling out the shady man, the protagonist physically puts himself between Makoto and the man threatening her, even if they aren't on quite friendly terms yet.
#shumako
Makoto's White day date is a nice compliment to her character & romance route. Little things to note; the mention of her family to wrap up her 3rd semester arc, the subtle nod to the charm requirement, and her concern for the protagonist always doing so much for others.
#shumako
During the Niijima palace arc, there's a subtle but deep level of trust between the protagonist & Makoto when dealing with Akechi.
This is more visible in the manga where the protag is allowed to talk freely, as well as shows how he stays by her side throughout it.
#shumako
Going off from last week's post, let's talk about the original Christmas date & the events after it! 🧵
Although the resolution for all dates is the same, regardless if you romance her or not, Makoto is there on Christmas day before anyone else that isn't the Sakuras.
#shumako
Since it's Anytime Hawaiian Day, a little throwback to the Hawaii date!
Among the romantic dates, Makoto is the only one whose meeting dialogue choices doesn' t focus solely on her appearance.
Two of the options have the protag offer emotional assurances instead.
#shumako
Although the protag can talk to Makoto optionally around Shujin, it's during May when Makoto officially gets involved with the group. The rooftop scene is their first meeting in other adaptations.
If only they knew how important they'd be to each other eventually 🥲
#shumako
Shoutout to Zenkichi for doing his best for our couple during Strikers:
- a conversation about Makoto's career that leads to Ren showing his full support for her
- correctly assumed they are dating
- delivered the matching keychains they end up sharing
Happy Birthday, Gramps 🫡
Makoto having this specific step in her routine while having a soft expression on her face 👀
Also; although she's not the only one among the PT who wears red gloves for their dance outfits, she and Ren have full gloves. The others wear red fingerless gloves.
#shumako
This in game conversation about improving yourself to get a girlfriend just so happens when a certain student council president walks by. 👀 It also encourages the player to go to the library later.
#shumako
When your girlfriend's niche hyperfixation is this weird looking cross eyed panda character, but you go along with it because it makes her happy 🐼
#shumako
December is a busy and meaningful month in the game as a lot happens. On the morning of the battle against Yaldabaoth, Makoto is the one who greets the protagonist at the train station, reaffirming their unanimous decision to end the Metaverse.

When Persona 5 had a collab with the mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, Makoto was made the bonus free unit.
The mobile game has a history of making the main heroines/love interests of the heroes of Final Fantasy games the free unit. So going by that pattern... 👀
#shumako
At the Persona Super Live P-Sound Bomb !!!! 2017 concert, all the dancers were dressed as characters from the games.
With the exception of Makoto, who was represented instead by Persona 5 main singer & real life queen, Lyn Inaizumi!
Here's the Ren dancer dancing with her!🕺💃
