Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

I know this is meant to be a breather arc but I like it much better than the supposed main arcs. Feels like the manga really shines when it's focused on these human moments rather than the usual shounen action fare

I wonder if it's intentional. Hori loves his name puns. The WSJ Japan staff told the guy sound the Viz translation it's supposed to be La Brava but it could be both technically- one literal intention, then also the romanized version.

hound dog needs more panel time

it's great how this slobbering slab of rage is the school's guidance counselor

That couldn't have ended better.


Eri finally having a good day and revealing why Deku needed to get that rope so badly.
Bakugau actually looking like he was having fun on the Ninja Warrior course combined with "winning" over the downer students.
Gentle having a possible second chance is really nice and effectively being saved by Deku.
Shinso getting a cameo.
Also a page of Class B's hottest sci-fi/fantasy/drama/comedy event of the season.


It was just great overall.

Mirio is a good child.

Also it must be kind of weird going to a school where all your teachers have branded merchandise.

Weird-rear end character design is such a staple of this series that most of that stuff just doesn't register, really.

I mean, probably just making sure his hand was okay after the fight in the morning. He was able to use his power without blowing his fingers up, which is a plus!

Also, surprised no one mentioned how good gorilla cop is. I'm happy has telling gentle there's still a chance for him :)

The police being made up of people whose quirk is "I have the head of an animal drawn in a realistic style" is a great running theme. It's going to be revealed at some point that Tokoyami's parents are cops but they will look like this:

It looks like he also launched him into the stratosphere like he did with Deku, but since he probably can't stick the landing these days, rip Toshinori I guess.

Gorilla cop's gonna be the firm but caring parental figure Gentle always needed and then he and La Brava become rookie cops specialising in looking out for disadvantaged kids or something like that. That's how these stories normally go, right??

Can we make calling La Brava 'LoveLover' probatable please.

I feel like they should have just re-named her something entirely different that made sense in English but still retained the general meaning and connection to her power as her original name. La Brava may be a phonetic reading of her name, but it has zero connection otherwise with either the original name meaning or the sort of powers she has.

How is this still confusing? Her outfit has a hearts pattern, we had a flashback in which Gentle explicitly came up with Lovelover's name from part of her actual name that means "love" (Ai), her power is the power of love and this is the manga with a guy named LockRock/RockLock/Locklock. I mean, La Brava is an awesome name for like, a wrestling-themed heroine or villainess, but it never suited her at all.

Upon seeing Deku having a quirk besides fire or telekinesis, his Mr. Deku disputes paternity. Classic overseas dad scenario.
