Manga Fukidashi,[2] also known as Comicman, was a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.
Eight years following the Final War, Manga is graduated from U.A. High School, and is the current No. 33 Hero.[4]
Appearance#
Manga is a very short young man with fair skin and a blank, pale-white speech bubble as a head and neck which can change shape and display his thoughts in written form.
Manga's Hero Costume consists of a blue shirt with red sleeves and pants covered by a series of ink bottle-like pieces of armor around his torso and legs, black on his torso and white on his legs. He wears a yellow belt with manga panels, short elbow under-length gloves, and his mask resembles a manga page template.
Eight years later after the Final War, Manga updates his costume to replace his ink bottle with an armor set that resembles a black drawing tablet, along with with wearing dark green pants with a dark brown utility belt equipped with with digital pens, and yellow gloves with black ink bottle-like cuffs.
Personality#
Manga appears to be an expressive and dramatic person, evident by his enthusiasm during the Cavalry Battle and Joint Training Battle with Class 1-A. He also seems to have a soft spot for children as he enjoys making them smile.[5]
Abilities#
Overall Abilities: Manga primarily employs the effective handling he has on his Quirk, Comic. With his power, Manga creates onomatopoeia that can spawn different effects, making him a versatile combatant that excels in offense, defense, and support. During the second round of the Joint Training Battle, Manga, under the leadership of Itsuka Kendo, played an effective, multifaceted role. He used his Quirk to amplify that of Kinoko Komori, separate Momo Yaoyorozu from her teammates, and defend against Yuga Aoyama's Navel Laser. His abilities eventually garnered the attention of Wash, giving Manga the opportunity to intern under the No. 8 Pro Hero, and improve his communication skills.
- Artistic Talent: Manga is highly skilled at drawing and sketching, being able to quickly draw the front of a detailed character. He served as the lead artist, alongside Minoru Mineta, in drawing a manga that featured a story about U.A.'s Hero course.[6]
Quirk#
Comic: Manga's Quirk allows him to materialize words in midair by speaking them. These words are onomatopoeia (words that describe sounds) which can manifest the effects of the phenomenon that the sound suggests. The only drawback is that the overuse of his Quirk can cause him to get an incredibly sore throat.[7]
