That's Izu the cinnamon roll hero we all know and love.

Solid cover story. They can still train together under Yagi-sensei and Ochako won't be at so much risk of being taken hostage.

Totally get Ochako though. For Bakugou? I probably would have hesitated at the very least.

I guess Izu paying makes it a date? :3

*insert most decidedly unmanly squealing here*

He's gonna stroke out before they even make it to first base at this rate. XD

Inko probably has a hunch about how deep in the hole Izuku went before he met Ochako.

Yep. Cinna-mom roll went there. XD
I bet Ochako playing along made him look like the inside of a pomegranate.

Yeah, I know that feeling. Things seem to be going a little too well, and... there goes the other shoe.

Ah, young love...

Oh, yes it is. You just don't see it yet. :p

*diabeetus intensifies*

Oh yeah, they have it BAD.

Badass Ochako is badass.

To be expected. Literally nobody has ever done that for him before.

I think I feel diabeetus with a side of a boot up Bakagou's arse coming on.

*insert Rocky training theme here*

I just wanted to say I like your story and im looking foward to the next chapter :)

I look forward to next chapter!

Gen Z: Do a fLiP

So adorbs.
IzuOcha is the cutest thing. I really like stories where Izuku has a supportive friend. Especially when they’re not afraid to call out Bakugou for his bullying.
Keep up the awesome work.

An absolutely sweet story so far. I think my blood sugar spiked just from reading it. I very much hope this gets continued, because it holds untold promise.

Oh yes. an IzuOcha story that I KNOW can be the best one ever. It doesn't follow the cliche route, both characters are extremely fitting and more realistic, and the feels! I'm SO looking forward to seeing this story flourish. I'm gonna love it even more. And in the future of this story, can you make sure Bakugo doesn't get bashed too hard? Most stories go downhill after a character with decent intelligence is like an animal. ain't tryna to undermine or anything or force anything, keep up the amazing work!

Thank god you had the relationship not happen 50 chapters later

Between Toshinori Yagi's ineptitude at keeping a secret (as I recall it only took a week or two for Tsukauchi to figure out that Yagi wasn't just All Might's secretary) and Izuku's inability to hide his emotions (or to lie convincingly for that matter), I wonder how long it will take for Ochako to realize that there is something between the two of them which they are keeping hidden from her (and unlike a certain fire/ice user, she's not likely to come to the mistaken conclusion that their secret is the identity if Mr. Yagi's secret love child).

Wow, this chapter was even more enjoyable than the last. I'm liking how Izuku was so insecure. And the depression is real. I can't imagine what it'll be like with the intense training. I'm picturing Izuku having to clean the beach while All-Might has Ochako practice on lifting heavier and heavier objects with her powers and such. I know how Izuku would be trained, but thjs makes me curious to see how Ochako will be trained with her quirk.

Anyway, excellent chapter. I'm glad they weren't immediately able to go for the kiss. Hopefully that'll happen further down the road though. Keep up tbe great work!

Huh... Here I thought Chapter 3 was the newest.

Still a tad fast on their relationship, but I like the dynamic you've given the two. It's cute, it's how they would react with each other. Although I guess in this Ochako's a lot more, I'd say more accepting of her feelings than Canon who is afraid of her feelings interrupting with her goal.

Tis still cute regardless. Also less "~" which is a plus in my book.

Amazing chapter! I love how cute they are together!

Tis cute. I really liked it. A bit fast but what the heck I'll take some fluff from my OTP. Kinda need it given how most other stories I've read lately are beating around the bush or have already gone forward with the pairing.

The whole "Izu~" thing irks me a bit - personal experience, so not something for you to change just something that I dealt with that strikes a tinge of sadness/irritation. It's cute with them though.

Also, don't worry about ending each chapter in a similar manner, gives it some sense of character, and this IS a romance fic after all, so ending on the same note isn't that big an issue when it's what you've been working with. But given that you are aware of what you're doing, the question becomes what are you going to do with that moving forward, dear author?
