In a Superhuman Society

by Stonecreek

A world with quirks means its people are going to wind up rather quirky. Whether heroes, villains, or somewhere in-between, every BnHA character deserves to have their story told. These are but tiny 100-word snippets of their lives, told one a day, every day, in 2023. Newest chapter: Best Jeanist is beloved, but it's a rigorous standard for Tsunagu Hakamata to have to live up to.

278. Tsunagu Hakamata (Best Jeanist)

A.N. — This guy hides behind his trademark outfit, so I feel I don't have that good a grasp on who he is. So, since his part in the internship arc was played for laughs, I'll try to do the same here. Happy birthday to the No. 3 pro hero, Best Jeanist.

278. Tsunagu Hakamata/Best Jeanist

Tsunagu questioned his sanity sometimes. Why'd he choose to wear a costume made out of heavy denim for hero work in a notoriously humid country like Japan? It's not like his quirk only worked on one type of thread, after all. In his hands, thin strands of fiber had hauled Tsunagu into the top echelon. But they constrained him, too.

Did he really value his privacy over comfort, or had Best Jeanist become a permanent persona? The public would certainly never his popularity be stripped, just as Tsunagu himself would not allow his image (or his duds) to be sullied.
