The Supporting Cast Sidebar Corner
This is the anchorman who appeared in Chapter 57. His name is Daikaku Miyagi. He reports the news from a fair and impartial viewpoint, using precise and easily understood language. As such, he has the trust of many a household throughout the country. However, the enormous horns granted him by his Quirk, "Big Horn," used to often get in the way of Miyagi's newscasts and visual presentations.

In order to better do his job, he voluntarily had one of his impressive horns removed. Never one to rest on his laurels, Miyagi always pays due mind to his viewing audience - A style that has garnished him much praise from society on the whole. However, a certain human rights group has condemned him, claiming that "Daikaku Miyagi's act was a rejection of his Quirk. A sign that he doesn't respect Quirks. Decisions such as his foster discrimination and are linked to an overall rejection of our Quirk-based society!"

Despite this, Miyagi continues to report the news. In a superpowered society full of Quirks of all kinds, professional heroes are not the only ones fighting the good fight. There is simply nothing in this world that everyone will find acceptable, so all we can do is believe in ourselves and walk our chosen paths. Fight on, Daikaku Miyagi!

(Main characters are one thing, but I also like to think about the lives and stories behind some of the minor characters. Even ones who only make one or two appearances.)

Stain Complaints
Whenever there's a new character in the story, I usually use thus blank page to do a proper character introduction, but as the number of new characters has dwindled, I've started to go on some crazy tangents, here. Some of you may be thinking, "What about all the villains?" but for the time being, I have no intention of writing about them. I do the introductions because I personally like those sorts of behind-the-scenes things, and also because I want my readers to feel a connection to the characters. But the villains, I decided I can't have them too likable. They're supposed to be terrifying.

Anyway, Stain got beaten. Drawing him was a pain. I've always been the type to design characters without necessarily thinking about how they'll have to move within the manga, so I end up going way over capacity in terms of detail.

Illustrating and making manga are two very different things. For instance, I packed a ton of textural detail into Stain's scarf, but then the final version in JUMP wound up mostly filled in with black. That showed me that I still have a lot to learn about having a long-running series in JUMP.

Stain may have been beaten, but he's a character who's going to have long and lasting effects on the world within the story, so I hope all the readers out there don't go forgetting about him. I appreciate it.

The Supplement
A while back, he lost his legs to a certain villain. In off-hours, he uses ordinary prosthetic legs, but while in costume, he uses special, light-weight ones meant for combat. He may look scary, but after coming back from his loss with renewed persistence, this hero has recieved continued support
