Why You (Yes, You !) Should Ship MangaMic !

Why you (Yes, You !) should ship MangaMic !

(or, alternatively, why I do!)

A passion passage by yours truly

1. Their similar personalities and quirks

Present Mic and Manga Fukidashi are super similar personality-wise. They're both loud and exciteable hip type guys, who could totally bounce off each other perfectly !

Their quirks are also very similar, both revolving around yelling. Manga's main issue is that excessive use of his quirk causes a sore throat, and Mic with his years of experience could help him overcome that drawback (or atleast handle it better). If nothing else, it could make a cute sick-fic !

2. Forbidden love trope

Mic is Manga's teacher, a Pro Hero, and twice his age. That sort of dynamic lends itself to the forbidden love trope. Sneaking away to empty classrooms, meeting at each other's dorm for "tutoring", or days out for "patrols", these two could get really sneaky !

Manga is 15-16, and Mic is 30-31. If that's your thing, that's already a point, but it can also lead to silly scenarios focusing on their age difference. Whether that be Manga being naive due to his young age or perhaps even Mic being out of touch with the goings on of the younger hero.

They're also both heroes, who are supposed to be lawful, so there's angst potential regarding the guilt either of them could feel !

3. Hero worship

As seen in Manga's casual wear sketch by Horikoshi (seen below), Manga is already a Mic fan, giving him a reason to pursue Mic romantically!

There's also potential in how Mic would feel being pursued so enthusiastically by a fan (or a student for that matter) ! Would he be uncomfortable with the situation ? Perhaps he would be totally chill with it ? Pleased, maybe ? And what about Manga, would he be insistent, not giving up when told "no" ? Or maybe he'd give up, but by then the seed's already been planted in Mic's mind. It's up to you !!

4. The height difference

Present Mic is 6'1", and Manga, owing to his speech bubble head, is anywhere from 4'7" to 5'3". A short king x tall blonde and handsome ? Yes, please ! This size difference can lead to plenty of scenarios. Including things like Mic having to double over to give Manga a kiss, or Manga having to scale counters to give him one back ! (Also, Manga being swallowed in Mic's hero outfit jacket. Think about it.)

And the final reason you should totally ship MangaMic ?

5. Because i do.

And it would make me happy [pleading emoji]
