My Hero Academia's anime is readying for one of the biggest years yet as both the fourth season of the series and a brand new movie are releasing in Japan later this year. One of the major reasons the anime has been such a huge success with fans is thanks to the work of  writer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, who's played a key role in bringing the previous seasons to life through either key animation or character design work. 

The shared a new take on Midoriya and Bakugo at the latest Comiket junket in Japan, and it sees the two burgeoning rival heroes sitting on a bench in an adorable way...but also seems very familiar.

This art has a very heartwarming parallel, too, as it hearkens back to famous pieces seen in both the original manga and anime. As highlighted by Bakugo and Midoriya sitting on a bench is think of the now iconic image of Midoriya and All Might sitting on the same kind of bench in their hero gear. This was later reflected in the anime, before All Might lost his One For All ability completely.
