That would curse the manga to hiatus, look at Silver Spoon.

I know that, I'd just like to see more series take the bull by the horns.

I'm sure the shipping audience is a significant factor in not actually pulling the trigger though

Uraraka's justification for not going for it was something about wanting to be her own hero and needing to stop obsessing over the idea of Deku to do so or some stupid poo poo like that, right? Deku's justification is that he's a dork.

I'm pretty sure Deku has no idea Uraraka was pinning over him and doesn't have any room in his heart for anyone who isn't all might

Also i thought Uraraka was just trying to focus on becoming a hero and didn't want to be distracted by it.

Dragon ball is such an interesting case because the main character is married and has multiple children but also doesn’t seem to know what sex is.

Is Horikoshi dating anyone? Maybe he secretly has no relationship experience to draw upon as a writer.

If Goku can be a grandfather, then Deku can date a girl in super high school.

Hope Kohei takes a vacation after this, the idea of this arc is great but the execution is definitely slipping. This chapter had better art/shading than the last twenty or so.

I mean, Deku is getting Back to the Future'd out of existence while simultaneously fighting a monster with a kid on his back. That's a seriously metal setup for a fight, but all anyone is taking away from it is "O MY REWIND QUIRK".

Unfortunately Japanese schools don't do prom or anything really like it. There's festivals, but given the sports festival I'd be terrified of what the cultural festival might turn out to be if I was a student at UA.

as a huge fan of the school side of this series, i was just hoping for a culture festival arc to follow this one. no idea what it would be though, other than Mei forcing her latest creations on passersby.
