While this shit is incredibly cute and gives me life, I DO like how Kohei has been writing her to not just be a simple satellite love interest/girlfriend for Deku, and is actually having her push these emotions to the backburner so she can focus on her hero training and education.

It makes Ochako a much better character, because she feels like an actual participant in the events of the story, y'know? Like instead of her only being encouragement and strength for Deku to become strong, she herself has her own ambitions and thoughts, and her mind isn't 24/7 Deku. It's really good character writing and very refreshing to see in a manga/anime like BNHA.

Now, that being said, I WANNA SEE THESE TWO SMASH, DAMMIT! THEY CUTE AS SHIT AND I WANNA SEE THEM HOLD HANDS
