A.N. — People in fandom often criticize this character for being bland. I say, wha!? Anyone who can manage to survive that explosive household dynamic shouldn't be written off. A hearty happy birthday to Masaru Bakugo!
74. Masaru Bakugo
It was beyond flattering to Masaru that a woman like Mitsuki was interested in him. She was all youthful beauty and efflorescent personality. He was a designer who'd dreamed of heroism despite his lackluster quirk. She was out of his league — way out of it. And yet, Mitsuki doggedly pursued him, refusing to take 'no' for an answer. She was besotted, and Masaru was along for the ride.
He had faded into the background of his own life; Mitsuki drew him out into the forefront and highlighted every good quality he possessed. Mitsuki's skin glowed; beside her, Masaru did, too.
