Poor little girl deserves more love, head pats and sweets!
So I took actions by myself and created my own very first Zine!
I am very excited for this project!
This is going to be a lot of fun!

I think Eri deserves lots of love! I also love that the theme is really versatile and that creators will have the opportunity to explore different stories and experiences for Eri and the other BNHA characters that she interacts with!

WRITER MOD:

She/Her | 25 | ENG
I've always really loved superheroes and the idea of a vastly superpowered world, so BnHA quickly became a favorite anime for me. I'm super excited to see the Zine focusing around Eri because she's an extremely compelling (and ADORABLE) character, so I'm glad to know there's an audience out there that loves and appreciates her!

While I'm pretty new to the zine scene, I have to start somewhere, right?
Also, Eri- chan is adorable and needs more love!
