Who is gay in mha

In the last several years, My Hero Academia grew to become one of the most popular battle shonen in the world.

Both are born quirkless (without powers) and though they can’t admit it to each other because of *complex plot reasons*, it’s giving two underdogs with a shared understanding of feeling different. A member of the pro hero team Wild Wild Pussycats, Yawara Chatora is a trans male character who, before the series’ beginning, took a trip to Thailand to transition physically.

I’m not trying to make any yaoi or ship the two together, just am pointing out their bond was special. Although Tiger’s experiences with gender are not apparent in the series, his trans identity and backstory have been confirmed in volume 19 of the manga.

Himiko Toga

Himiko Toga is a member of the League of Villains and one of the most compelling antagonists in the series.

She is a trans woman who has not transitioned, but it’s unclear whether this comes down to a lack of resources to do so, or a decision.

In the early stages of My Hero Academia, when prototype sketches of the characters were still being created, the idea of Himiko Toga being queer was already floating around Horikoshi’s head. Class 1-A in MHA brings that same level of comfort, slight conflict, and mutual support that I found in my own experience. This is most noticeable through her feelings for Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka, showing that ultimately, gender doesn’t matter nearly as much to Himiko as blood type does.

Kenji Hikiishi, aka Magne

Much like Himiko, Magne is an antagonist affiliated with the League of Villains.

Out of the 20+ students, he’s known for his super stylish ways and long eyelashes. The official wiki describes him as having a feminine face, and his voice is for sure giving fem energy. Most of the speculation comes from the My Hero Academia manga Chapter #321, where Mineta says to Deku, "I fell for you." This is hardly a case for his sexuality.

The 3% is at a disadvantage in their society, with many ‘quirkless’ people longing for acceptance. People deserve to see themselves on the screen, no matter what genre of content they’re consuming, and luckily for My Hero Academia enthusiasts, the series has provided us with a few LGBTQ+ characters. He is lecherous, perverted, and a bit of a coward.

Unlike Tiger, Magne’s trans identity is briefly touched upon in My Hero Academia, as we see her meet with and talk to a friend with shared experiences, which alludes to her identity being tied to her need for freedom, and a driving force behind her association with the League of Villains. But I’m not at all biased; this show rocks. 

My Hero Academia takes place in a world where 97% of people get superpowers.

Still, more hinges on the fact that English translations are not always solid, whereas looking into a more accurate translation from Japanese has Mineta stating that he "admired" him. Jon Kent, son of Clark Kent, came out in Superman: Son of Kal-El #4.

This is not the fairest comparison of the two however since the Superman comics state Jon's sexuality outright, and he even has a boyfriend named Jay Nakamura.
