A punishment game is something embarrassing a person has to do because they lost at something, like a bet or what-have-you. Also, in Japanese culture, “cat” is a euphemism for “bottom,” in gay slang, hence Todoroki’s interest. Meow~!

This is a corrected repost! lucrece-cg was kind enough to point out some mistakes I made! (Like misreading お茶 as お茶子, God help me…) Please take this corrected version with my sincerest apologies, especially to まとさん. For as much as I bitch about accuracy, I also make dumb mistakes sometimes. I rushed it too much! I’ll do my best to be more careful in the future! *humbled bow*

This comic has some backstory. It takes place one year after All Might’s death. The world is in turmoil with the shift in power, and private armies have begun using medications to control abducted people to turn them soldiers. Bakugou has disappeared, and Deku goes to investigate after Aizawa hears rumors of a boy with an explosion quirk on the front lines.

伊藤菓子太郎さん was inspired by the song Flowerwall by Yonezu Kenshi while she was drawing it. It’s a lovely song. There’s an English translation of it here if you’re curious.
