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!
The second season of the anime series throws the spotlight on the internship arc of My Hero Academia, and so does the cafe’s menu. Nine out of ten items on the food menu feature a mashup of motifs taken from the students of the academy and the respective heroes they are interning with.
▼ 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.
