In the throes of battle, he remembers Deku and says, “I fell for you.When you were scared and sweating buckets.” To many, it appeared that Mineta was confessing his love to Deku, making him the first canonically LGBTQ+ character in the series. In chapter 321, a giant battle roars up and Mineta flails around during a fight. For this reason, Mineta is a largely unpopular character in the fandom - it’s so normal to hate him that fans even made a trend out of removing him from their posters.įans were all but okay with tolerating his presence, until the latest chapter of the manga. He’s constantly drooling over his female counterparts, staring at their boobs, and trying to see them naked. One of his classmates there is Minoru Mineta, a short boy with purple hair styled into four round buns. The story follows Izuku “Deku” Midoriya, an earnest boy who goes to an ultra-elite academy for the city’s most promising young heroes called U.A. Written by Kohei Horikoshi, My Hero Academia is an ongoing action anime and manga series where everyday people have superpowers called quirks, enabling a thriving culture of formally trained superheroes.
The popular manga series My Hero Academia just got an unwelcome twist: its creepiest character might have come out as bisexual.
