My Hero Academia Creator Reveals New Midoriya And Ochaco Art

Kohei Horikoshia, the creator of My Hero Academia, certainly isn’t shy about creating new art for his popular Shonen franchise, and the mangaka has recently supplied some new art featuring fan-favorite characters Midoriya and Ochaco to help promote the upcoming art exhibit for the series. “Drawing Smash” will open this April, giving fans the opportunity to take in some new art work if they are lucky enough to live in Japan or somehow find themselves in that neck of the woods.

Deku and Ochaco have been classmates since Class 1-A was first introduced in the first season of the Shonen anime, with the gravity warping heroine harboring a crush on the protagonist of My Hero Academia. Uravity has yet to reveal her true feelings for Midoriya, with the manga not giving her the opportunity to do so considering the insane events taking place during, and following the War Arc. Ironically enough, the supervillain Toga was attempting to find common ground with Ochaco, hoping that their mutual feelings for Izuku would unite them and have them ultimately be friends, though the small problem of Toga’s many murder charges made this potential friendship an impossibility.

My Hero Academia’s Official Twitter Account shared the first look at this artwork giving us a new look at Midoriya and Ochaco falling to Earth, which was drawn by Shonen creator Kohei Horikoshi and will be featured at the upcoming exhibit that will feature more than a few drawings from the series:
