rereading Oumagadoki Zoo oneshot!
Unfortunately, because I am this tweet:
I will drawing comparisons of it to bnha. specifically, Shigaraki and the League, because the parallels are pretty obvious.
If you haven't heard of the oneshot Oumagadoki Zoo before, it's one of Horikoshi's earlier works, a oneshot that became his first serialized manga. Premise of both the manga and the oneshot is the same: Aoi Hana, a high school girl, applies to work at a zoo, only to discover too late the zoo is a magical one where the animals can turn into humans, while the zoo director, Shiina, is a human cursed to look like a rabbit-man; she then gets dragged along into crazy adventure as the director attempts to break his curse.
The oneshot is much less zany-comedic in tone, with Shiina a more serious and ambitious character and leader, but still deeply caring for his friends, who are all outcasts animals he helped. I've compared Serialized Manga Shiina with Shigaraki before; but I've always found Oneshot Shiina to be even more similar, especially with later series Shigaraki.
In the oneshot, the first mission we see Shiina and his team go on is to rescue a talking alligator that's been captured and smuggled by people wearing skull-masks. Obviously these guys are not the good guys. They acknowledge that the talking alligator might as well be considered a person, but are still keeping him caged and ready to be sell him.
So I always wondered if they were the basis of the bnha's CRC - skull-mask wearing criminals who looks down on Spinner, a person whose quirk make him looks like a lizard. But this time they're even more evil.
In the manga, it's due to Shiina's cursed magic powers that allows the animals to turn into human form; in the oneshot, however, the animals are born with magical energies that transforms them into human form - and Shiina is only someone who finds and gathers them in order to harvest their magical energy to break his curse.
If this sounds kinda selfish, it is - which Shiina acknowledges. Shiina didn't save the talking alligator out of the goodness of his heart - he needed the alligator's magical energy, and says so bluntly.
But when Hana accuses Shiina of using the animals to his own ends, Uwabami, a snake woman, says no, all the animals are here of their own free will.
The explanation Uwabami then gives Hana about why they stay with Shiina, why they follow him, actually mirrors Spinner's last dialogue with Deku on bnha a lot:
Uwabami describes the animals that have magical energy as beings whose forms have bent away from normal and turned 'grotesque'. In Japanese, the word she uses is 'igyou', which is the same word used to describe people like Spinner - translated as 'heteromorphs' in MHA. Uwabami implies that these 'grotesque' animals had suffered, had stood out with negative consequences, and that was how Shiina was able to find them. Similarly, Spinner says that he was oppressed for being a heteromorph, for having a quirk that altered his appearance.
The context is of course different, but I think the underlying feeling is still the same. Uwabami explains Shiina and the animals' situations are similar, that in helping Shiina break his curse, the issue of the animals' magical grotesque forms may also be solved as well. Shiina's mission aligns with their desires as well. In Spinner's case, Shigaraki told the League that he'll destroy everything, which at first also seemed like it was his specific dream; but within that destruction is also promised the changes and goals each of the League wants - Shigaraki represented him.
For the animals of Shiina's zoo, they were never able to fit in, they were unneeded and unwanted - and yet Shiina would still consider them comrade and friends, and gathered them together. Much like Shigaraki did for the League: he gave someone like Spinner a dream, a chance to be someone. Gave a bunch of strays, the dregs of society, a place to be.
So both Shiina and Shigaraki - leaders loved and respected by their friends so much that those friends - Uwabami and Spinner - are both willing to so straightforwardly spill out their hearts and feelings to near strangers.
anyways, I recommend the oneshot a lot. Read here at mangadex.
#nalslastworkingbraincell#shigaraki tomura#Shiina#hilarious out Uwabami gives her speech to Hana at the beginning the story to win Hana over#while Spinner gives his speech to Deku at the end of the story to salvage a memorial for the dead#also bonus: in both the manga and the oneshot#Uwabami is shown with a crush on Shiina

A parallel of the first met of Sesshomaru and Rin.
Rumiko Takahashi Ver 🆚 Shiina Ver
Rin initially thought Sesshomaru was a god, so she simply tried to use water to clean him. How funny and cute she is!
And Sesshomaru be like:🫨🫨🫨
🤣🤣🤣

I wasn't even aware Horikoshi drew a picture of Midoriya with his two previous protagonists (Astro from "Barrage" and Shiina from "Ōmagadoki Dōbutsuen").

first kiss with mayuri
pairing: mayuri shiina x gn!reader
tags: silly & wholesome fluff, established romantic relationship
you always thought your first kiss with mayuri would be something magical
you figured it would happen on one of your dates at some romantic location or after you walk her home
but you weren't prepared at all for what your first kiss would really be like!
it happened on a day like any other, with you and mayuri spending time at the lab
mayuri received a call from faris, asking her if she could come to may queen nyan² an hour earlier than usual
after the call ended, mayuri grabbed her belongings and was just about to leave, when she stopped in front of you
without any sort of warning, she pressed a quick kiss onto your lips and smiled at you, before hurrying out and calling out "see you later!" to you
it took you a moment to realize what had just happened, before it sunk in that mayuri just stole your first kiss and ran off!
