I still don't get why they didn't just make this chapter available today instead of tomorrow.

The bit with Uraraka was the most normal interaction Deku has ever had with anyone in his life.

Forget knowing about the Quirks of previous OFA holders, this is the most important milestone of Izuku's development in recent memory.

Viz's viewer for those that can use it. Displays everything as two pages so you get the full impact of the two-page spreads.

She's one of Horikoshi's favorite characters so she's always going to get some screentime but she's also a female character in a Shonen Jump manga, i.e. not likely

I could have sworn I checked the horizontal and it still split them, but nope. you're right. I must have just looked at the first page. I still like Viz's viewer better though. It plays nicer with my browser.

I have so many Act Age jokes I want to make right now.

So many.

Somewhat more seriously, that's been improving in recent years, even aside from the female lead series in Jump. Even Chainsaw Man, a series about Doom-style violence and a horny teenager's desire to touch boobs, gives its female characters spotlight arcs and big fight scenes.

MHA's just working on an older system.

Actually historically the marketing truism is girls are a lot more likely to do boy stuff than boys are to do girl stuff, and that is part of the explanation

Remember the time when MHA was just starting up, and it looked like it will actually do excellent job in its treatment of its female characters, with Froppy being one of the characters with most screentime in first arc and all 1A girls having pretty solid showing in sports festival arc, with Uraraka having probably best 1v1 fight in tournament and when even Momo being useless seemed as an actually big deal that was addressed by the story and would surely lead to a character development arc and her becoming stronger and more competent? Yeah, good times. :sigh:

Toga got a cool fight in the Villain Academia arc. She's also been one of the most competent members of the League in most of her appearances.

Mina and Uraraka were also the best parts of their team during the Class A vs B arc.

It's treatment of female characters is not terrible, but it certainly doesn't seem to be living up to the early potential either.

Being a fan of Momo must be suffering. She really needs an unambiguous win.

Noelle gets to be cool but then gets to pay for it by having to do a hot springs chapter basically right after if the pattern follows. Mimosa gets to heal people, nearly die, then have a 2 page spread dedicated to the Heart Queen grabbing her tits.

Makima from Chainsawman is pretty dope though

One thing that stood out to me about the women in Chainsaw Man as compared to the Jump standard is that fanservice tends to be them going "Hey, wanna see some tits?" rather than "Oh no! My tits are being exposed!"

(It's also a part of why Denji's horniness feels likable and earnest, while Mineta's a creep. Denji actually cares how the girls involved feel about things.)

Okay, so, Deku is going to crack open that notebook and read it back to front and do his own research, duh. That kind of thing would be like Deku's Christmas presents, birthday gift, Halloween candy, Valentine's day candy and a Valentine's card from Uraraka all in one.

But when are we gonna see it? Next issue? When he next sees a wielder ghost? The next time a power of his suddenly bursts out?

Honestly I want to like this chapter but every time we check in with the rest of the class there's a part of me that just fixates on how muich Horikoshi cannot handle this series' cast and wondering how long it will be before he separates The Three Characters Who Matter from everyone else again.
