Correction then, Battle Shonen need to stop pretending to have romance because they all goddamn suck at it…
All past Deku and Uraraka scenes of teasing are all effectively pointless at this point and it’s kinda baffling to me an author would do that after wasting 10 years on it
But whatever

I don't think it's that bad really but I wanna see what the next chapter is actually like. Maybe they didn't outright say it but I don't think that's really necessary in some cases.

Terrible romance writing aside…
I was there from the very early days of MHA before it was an Anime. Started when it only had like 16 chapters or something. I came to love it and it’s story. There was a brief low point for my investment during the Dark Hero Arc into the beginning of the Final War, but then the Final War brought me back and ended on an extremely satisfying note, so I gotta say, I’m gonna miss this one.
Yes, there are many things that were rushed and could have been expanded on, we all know. Why was the story only 1 year of school? Why was Dark Hero rushed? why didn’t we focus more on outside Japan? But I like to focus on what we actually got outside of what we could have got. And what we got was pretty damn satisfying.
Personally for me, a solid 9/10

Honestly if there's one problem I had with MHA, it's the lack of the greater world building for the series. I would love to see how places like America, Canada, China, or some third world countries operate with all the superpowers around.
But I will say that can be fixed in side stories or whatever happens next. I saw on Twitter there was a big MHA account coming next week so maybe side stories?

Welp it’s over
Decent ending, would’ve changed a few things but no big complaints
If I had to rate the series now, I would give it a light 8/10
Several writing decisions that ****** it up imo, could have been way higher but it is what it is

Yes but that's specifically a romance story. You don't need to be in the romance genre entirely to have a good couple. Example, The Amazing Spiderman.

I have no complain about it not focusing much outside of Japan. There is not much need to. The story justifies why other countries can't help very well. Also MHA maybe has the most exploration outside of Japan compared to every other anime set in the real world map.
JJK never leaves Japan except for a few sorcerers. CSM happens in Japan. All Soul reapers in bleach are Japanese. Parasyte also exclusively takes place in Japan. Hell they never even tell us if there are any parasites outside Japan. Demon Slayer again entirely in Japan. Muzan didn't even think of the possiblity that the Doctor imported that blue crack lily from China.
Meanwhile you have I-Island and every character related to that, a few american heroes and a Movie set entirely in Europe. The only other series I remember that ping pongs around the world is Baki. And that has been going on for longer than the Big Three. And even then we have just seen a few scenes outside of Japan. USA, Russia, Africa and Cuba. Oh and Vietnam.
So if anything MHA has shown far more of the outside world. Why the heck is USA not nuking Sukuna for example.

I'm aware. He said Tokyo ghoul wrote a better romance than any shonen. Kaguya sama is a shonen. People tend to forget that. Which is why he clarified battle shonen later.

I specifically mentioned The Amazing Spiderman movie for that exact reason.
1. Andrew Garfield and Emma had great dialogue and chemistry and made more progress in a 2 hour movie that Deku and Ochako did in 400 chapters.
2. Emma Stone. Do I need to say more ?

Also the Ultimate Run is great. The Main universe run is horrible.
Oh and that reminds me, If Deku isn't with Ochako, can't wait to meet the Japanese version of "Paul" and their 2 kids. While Deku is crying in the shower.

Romance is overrated and MHA is extremely good without it.
Don't even joke about that.

It's less so that romance is overrated but shonen just isn't the targeted demographic for that kind of story stelling, it being towards teenage boys and whatnot.

both Tokyo Ghoul and Kaguya sama are seinen not sure who told you they shonen

It's really not overrated. More so misunderstood. And makes sense seeing the demographic in question.

Yeah I guess. I didn't care much about it all that much until my gf got me into it. Then I realized, holy shit, this is good.

Are they not published by shonen jump

Nope

Then why the **** are both on the shonen jump app? Did they switch magazines?

Tokyo Ghoul is published by Shueisha, but ran in Weekly Young Jump, a seinen magazine

nope, the jump app just puts everything together for convenience sake in the west as oppose to having an app for each demographic.

One Piece is ok at it with the side characters, but then again, love in many forms is a focus of One Piece.

I mean, Sasuke was awful to her for a long time, but that Stardust and Uchiha side manga portrayed them really well together.

whenever i see stuff like "did his friend abandon him" it just tells me how young the fanbase. if your an adult with responsibilities its rare that you and your old friends from high school (assuming your still friends) will share the same day off to just hang out whenever you want.
as recently as last week i wasnt able to go to a best friends party because his birthday fell on a day where i was working till late, so i entirely feel Deku.

this doesn't really work since pre-timeskip the whole point of heroes having lots of time to spare was literally the last thing we were told and with an 8 year gap afterwards you'd think they'd show some pf that but instead we're told they actually don't have time to spare and that for 8 years Deku rarely has seen them and basically ****** for 8 years with no meaningful communication or appropriate appreciation for literally saving the world. He walks down the streets and its not deku figures or statues, its his classmates and Deku for all things considered is basically forgotten and left unappreciate until he gets the suit. Even then Horikoshi didn't even properly imply or set that up beforehand, personally I'd preferred we got to see Deku keep OFA and have AFO to play on the already set up thing of it being the kindest quirk if it was used for good but that's just me.
in the end I'm glad that Deku still gets to be a hero but its not executed in a tasteful way at all but at least i don't have to listen to the Mcdonalds worker shit ig but this wasn't a major step up above that imo
