My Hero Academia Creator Highlights Ochaco With New Art

My Hero Academia might have come to an end, but the original creator behind it is still showing love to Ochaco Uraraka with a special new sketch! My Hero Academia ended its ten year run with Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine earlier this Summer, and fans have been celebrating how far the manga had come in some big ways. Not only did the series launch a global popularity poll (which had since been taken over by bots), but the franchise is also celebrating with a special art contest highlighting fans' takes on My Hero Academia's many characters and events. 

My Hero Academia fans have been submitted their art to this contest with a special hashtag on social media, and the original creator behind it all got in on the fun as well. "Submitting" a sketch of Ochaco for the occasion, My Hero Academia series creator Kohei Horikoshi took the time to show more love to the fan favorite hero as part of the new contest. With the manga now over, these sketches are the only way fans will get to see new takes on the characters from the creator, so they've been very welcome. Check it out:
