MinaTsuyu

MinaTsuyu is the femslash ship between Mina Ashido and Tsuyu Asui from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Mina and Tsuyu are both students in U.A. High School's Class 1-A. The two seem to have grown close over the course of the series due Mina being seated in front of Tsuyu in class, and often hang out together. During the Sports Festival, when Mina moves on to the final round, Tsuyu excitedly congratulates her, despite being upset that she did not move on. When Mina has her first one-on-one battle, Tsuyu eagerly cheers her on from the stands, and is happy that she wins.

Later on, after everyone returns from their internships, Tsuyu tells the other girls about her experience stopping drug smugglers with the Oki Mariner crew, which Mina finds extremely cool. The two also hang out together with Toru on I-Island while the other three girls see the Expo preview. Although Mina was initially upset about not being able to go, she seems to have a good time with Tsuyu. Mina also congratulates Tsuyu when she makes her hero debut, fighting two villains with Nejire, Ochako, and Ryukyu.

When Tsuyu takes part in the Shie Hassaikai Raid, Mina is worried for her. She is excited and relieved when Tsuyu and the other students involved return home, and brings Koji's rabbit to Tsuyu and Ochako to help cheer them up. For the school festival, Mina decides to choreograph a dance for part of the concert Class 1-A will put on. Tsuyu happily becomes part of the dance team, and learns and works on the dance with Mina and the others.

Fanon
MinaTsuyu is a relatively rare pair rivalled mostly by TsuChako, TokoTsuyu, Minochaco, and KiriMina, the most popular het ships for Mina and Tsuyu and the more popular femslash ships for both girls. However, many people enjoy the two as a pairing due to their close friendship and somewhat contrasting personalities-Tsuyu being more calm and collected, and Mina being loud and at times overzealous. Fans also enjoy the pleasing nature of their color motifs, pink for Mina and green for Tsuyu, and think they fit well together. People also suspect that Tsuyu and even Mina may be interested in girls, due to how touchy they are with each other and certain other girls in their class, and Tsuyu's lack of interest in boys.
