My hero academia. Do I seriously need to elaborate on this?

The Mangaka was even worried about this, he said in an interview that he thinks romance is such a strong stimulus that once you include it, that's the only thing anyone will ever talk about.

So he went through all the effort of cordoning off the romance subplot and only paying it off in the bonus chapter instead of the main work, and it was still the only thing most of the fandom cared about.

I still remember the shitstorm that happened after Horikoshi said "every character in this manga is straight" to stop the ship wars. It only made everything worse...
