My Hero Academia - Everyone deserves some love

I'll be real, I don't entirely get this ship.

Ain't Tomoko the same age as Deku and the rest of the cast? And Double like a full grown adult?

I know he's said shit like "I love you Tomoko!" but I've always chalked it up to "he's wacky and crazy/a deadpool expy"

This is now my ship. I'm the captain now.
