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.
I know it’s been a while, but here’s another little entry in this series. I believe Sero here is the last of the 1-A students I planned to do for this series, so any future entries will be characters from 1-B. At this point I really don’t have any idea if or when I’ll do more, though.
It’s honestly an insane bit of coincidence that our April One-Shot winner ended up being this April O’Neil-focused script, but I’m here for it. April has a unique presence in the Studio, showing up in a lot of roles (such as the Spotlight Interviews or hosting Chi-Chi’s Fan Appreciation Tour) while only getting the spotlight shone on her occasionally. For the script here it was said April should be showing up in locations from the game, but I ended up not going that route as I had some other ideas I thought would be fun. So I put her with A-ko and Goku in the room where she MC’d A-ko’s ToL match with Krillin, had her crash an Ask that didn’t happen last month, and also made use of the couch seen in the aforementioned Spotlight Interviews. I did use a game location for the last panel, though. Also they asked for some dialogue, so I provided a bit.
A couple days ago I shared Ty Lee’s pic for winning second place in our 1 Club-themed poll tournament on Discord. The first-place prize is a one-on-one pic between the winner and a Studio member of their choice, but it can’t be someone they’ve worked with before. Mirio has developed a bit of a reputation with some of the Studio furries, and Amy decided to cash in her victory to get herself some. Amy’s win came as a bit of a surprise to me, since furries have not historically done well in these polls, but people seemed to really want to see more of her. Luckily, she has another pic coming up soon, so if you’re a fan of hers look forward to that.

As some of you may remember, a while back I did an Ask for Jiro where she talked about wanting to start a band in the Studio with each member being from a different origin world. At the time, I actually had a line-up in mind, but none of the characters I wanted to use were in the Studio yet (excluding Jiro). One of those characters joined a while ago, and now through the One-Shots system Kim has as well. With all that being said, I figured this Ask would be fun to see, partly just to see Kim again, but also to further this story a bit. I hadn’t expected the full Sex Bob-Omb lineup to come in at the same time as Kim, but now that they are here she’ll have to split her drumming duties between her regular band and Jiro’s aspiring supergroup.
I toyed with the idea of Ogun bottoming in the One-Shot where he debuted, but ended up going a different route. I thought Kirishima and Bakugou might enjoy some fun with him, though, so this Ask is a way to explore that I guess.
