Aoi Hana from Oumagaoki Doubutsuen (Oumagadoki Zoo) and Midoriya Izuku from Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia), from the manga artist and author Horikoshi Kouhei.



Oumagadoki was Horikoshi-sensei's first (big?) serialization and was published in Shonen Jump in 2010/2011. It's about a girl who ends up working part-time at a zoo where the director is cursed to be a rabbit and the zoo animals become human every night. Also, the aquarium arc is really REALLY good. (You can stop reading once you finish it).



HeroAca is Horikoshi's current serialization (2014-ongoing). In a world where 80% of the human population have special abilities (called "quirks"), you're the odd one out if you're quirkless. The main character wants to go into the hero business but happens to be one of the 20%. It's a pretty entertaining manga, with a wide cast of characters who actually get a significant amount of screen time (We often see in most series a focus on just the main character and his/her 2 or 3 best buds, but Izuku's in a class of ~30 students and you can really tell the author's working hard on developing ALL of them.)



Originally I was going to draw Hana carrying Izuku (b/c then it'd be like OumaZoo carrying HeroAca in a metaphorical way), but I found out he's actually a few centimeters taller than her, so...he's doing the heavy lifting.

Given their personalities, I think in some alternate universe, they'd be siblings.

Also, I drew this for Crunchyroll's fanart friday column. This week's theme is Weekly Shonen Jump.
