Heroes and villains of My Hero Academia check in to the Good Smile x Animate Cafes in Tokyo and Osaka!
Following the second season of the My Hero Academia anime series, the Good Smile x Animate Cafe is set to open its doors and welcome guests with a list of limited-time My Hero Academia collaboration food, beverages and exclusive merchandise!

▼ Izuku Midoriya “Deku” x Grantorino
A match up of Deku’s and Grantorino’s favourite foods, katsudon (pork cutlet bowl) and taiyaki
▼ Katsuki Bakugo x Best Jeanist
Explosively spicy chilli con carne inspired by Bakugo, wrapped in jeans-coloured tortillas inspired by Best Jeanist
▼ Stain’s Freezing Gaze Sweets Plate
The only villain item on the food menu, consisting of raspberry fondant au chocolat, mixed berries, whipped cream, and a scoop of crimson ice cream inspired by Stain’s quirk, Bloodcurdle
In addition to the food menu, the cafe offers a variety of eight beverages, all inspired by characters from the series.
▼ Uravity’s Slightly Fancy Red Bean Latte
▼ Froppy’s Kiwi Flavoured Drink
A random exclusive character coaster comes with every order from the collaboration menu.
▼ Available in ten designs.
Apart from creative edibles, the cafe also offers a range of character merchandise, including key rings (and a stand for the whole collection), pins, printed cookies, and a My Hero Academia water bottle.
