I know they’ve been few and far between lately, but here’s the calendar page for June in our second Studio Calendar. As you can see, this one features Deku and Ash in a little one-on-one.
Last year we started a new Halloween tradition of a highlight comic set in the Studio Halloween party. Like last year, our randomly-selected costume model, Space Beth, takes the center panel while we check in around the party with the rest. I know some characters who appear here may be hard to place, especially in the glory hole panel, and I imagine some will only be identifiable through the tags in the public post. I’m pretty happy with how this comic turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing some of the Studio residents enjoying the spooky season.
A pretty straightforward one here, but something I thought some folks might like to see.
Perhaps moreso than any other “why not both” answer, I really can’t picture Gojo having a real preference here. I wanted his partners to be a guy and gal associated with each other, and while I considered a few different pairs, I think MHA and JJK crossovers are kinda fun. I realized I hadn’t really used Ashido in a bit and her working with Kirishima for a role like this sounded fun.
For our third ClashMe profile we have Himiko Toga. This is our first villain profile, and like with the other two my Subscribers voted for her from a list of ten random Studio villains. I had to tone down her proclivities a bit, ’cause even for roleplay I don’t think Studio Toga would take things as far as her canon version might. Hopefully I found a good balance here, and next time we’ll be back with another hero profile.
I don’t know if Bakugou’s beating the show-off allegations here. Neito relationship with the 1-A students feels like something that wouldn’t go away in the Studio to me. After all, here as well they’re still taking the spotlight far more than anyone from Neito’s class. I see his obsession with them as being a but more than just hatred, though, and we’re seeing a bit of that here.
My Subscribers all got to vote on what our next straight ongoing comic should look like, and they wanted to see Deku come back for some fun with Ochaco and Tsuyu. These are pretty popular characters, so it wasn’t a shock to see them win. The scripts submitted this month all took their own approaches to the premise, Ochaco surprising Deku with Tsuyu, but I took my own little spin with it while using what I thought fit from the submissions.
Sero’s first appearance since his Wall debut, I believe. What better coming out party than with his best mates?
For our ninth Subscriber Scenario, we return to the lab for some more fucking machine fun. Edward has a couple connections to the lab, even though he no longer has his automail limbs in the Studio. First he has some sort of connection to Mei, through her choosing him after her Superstar win. Beyond that, though, Winry coming into the Studio obviously gives him more reason to visit the lab, to see her. So I used those two connections here, plus I threw in Reagan just because I like her and wanted to spotlight her a little.
Of the characters I had in mind for Jiro to scout, I thought Bocchi would be good on guitar. She wasn’t in the Studio yet when I made the plan, but she’s here now and been waiting to get out of the 1 Club. I fully plan for all of Kessoku Band to end up in the Studio eventually, but until then she can play with Jiro and Kim, and pull double duty once they all get in.
