My Hero Academia

Tongue-Tied Birthday Boy, Page 3

Here we go with the third page of our straight ongoing! There were a lot of scripts this time, some of them going in pretty different directions. I identified a few common themes, though, and tried to synthesize something that used those while progressing the scene sensibly. Also twisted one panel that had Ochaco smothering Deku with her tits for a different body part, just ’cause I like what it sets up.

Jin Enjoji Character Ask 2

I mentioned wanting to pair Jiji and Yuji up back when I did that Ask with the two of them, but one other character I felt would pair well with him was Kirishima. Kirishuma doesn’t have quite as many obvious parallels to Jiji as Yuji does, but I just kinda feel like they make a good crossover pairing. This Ask seemed like as good an opportunity as any to test my theory.

Also, for those of you who’re interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:

2025 Top Studio Performers

For a few years now, I’ve had a tradition of doing little pics pairing up my top male and female performers with their “rookie” counterparts. These are the characters who appeared the most in my work in 2025, and we had a lot of ties this year.
Seiko came away in the clear as the top rookie woman, thanks in part to the start of her own comic on top of appearing in a lot of other things. Our top non-rookie was a three-way tie, all of whom also had some comic pages come out during the year. Kanamori and Butt Witch were the stars of this pic last year for Kanamori’s debut, and I mentioned at the time that she actually beat Butt Witch in appearances. This year they both tied with Bulma, who funnily enough has worked with each of them in the past. Now all three of them are kinda ganging up on Seiko, ’cause lucky for her they’re all three known for topping other women. I think this is a fun pic, and as a fan of Seiko’s I’m happy to see her in such good company.

Like with the female performers, we had some ties with our top male performers, but at least here there was more symmetry. Yuji and Goku both tied for our top returning males, while Al and Sero tied for our male rookies. It honestly didn’t feel to me like I drew Sero as much as I did Al, but that’s probably in part because he served a mostly-anon role in one of his appearances. Regardless, I decided to pair Al up with Goku, since last year’s version of this pic had Goku with Ed. That left Sero with Yuji, naturally.

Koichi Haimawari Character Ask 1

So I don’t really know anything about Vigilantes or Koichi, but my understanding is Koichi is at least similar to Deku in his All Might Fandom. There’s been some push to get me to draw more of this guy since the anime started coming out, and while I don’t find him particularly interesting I figured I could at least do this variation of an Ask I’ve done before with Bakugou.

Studio Christmas Party Highlights 2025

Continuing our annual tradition, here’s another Studio Christmas party! I had a couple people I thought would look really good in Santa outfits, and a few others I just wanted to draw. I’m really happy with how this year’s party turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing a handful of Studio residents living it up!
