#MHALN6

All right, guess I'll start with Part 2, the one about chocolate lol. The scene of Ashido teasing Ochako from the manga is the cover of the Valentine's Day chapter.

#MHALN6

It starts off with the girls Ochako, Tsuyu, Ashido, Hagakure, Yaoyorozu, and Jirou in the kitchen making chocolate since Valentine's is soon. In Japan, it's tradition for the girls to give the guys chocolate and the guys return the favor during White Day, a month after. #MHALN6

As the girls make chocolate, they start eating from the bowl too because the chocolate is tempting lol. Yaoyorozu asks Jirou to taste test her batch and hands her the spoon. Jirou is surprised and tastes it, saying "thanks."

#MHALN6

Satou comes in to observe the girls making the chocolate, and he scolds them saying that the most important thing to make chocolate is to make sure the temperature is right, and the girls say "sorry Satou-sensei" lol.

#MHALN6

The reason why the girls are making chocolate with the assistance of Satou is that they decided to just share chocolate among everyone in the class for fun. Satou likes cooking, so he was more than happy to help out.

#MHALN6

Hagakure and Tsuyu both mention they'd like to give the chocolate to everyone so they can try it, and Ochako hears that and an image of Deku appears in the back of her heart although she dismisses it.

#MHALN6

The plan was to have everyone enjoy it, not just a single person, so guys were pretty excited to try out the chocolate together. Yaoyorozu thinks it's a lovely idea where everyone can enjoy chocolate together. #MHALN6

The girls also planned to give each other chocolates since they were making it for everyone anyway. Hagakure says when she was in middle school, there was a girl who was super into making chocolate. Satou says one of the best feelings is when people compliment your food. #MHALN6

Yaoyorozu says that she will prepare some tea to go with the chocolate. After the tea is ready, she and SAtou hand everyone the chocolates and tea. Hagakure hands chocolates to Kirishima, Todoroki, and Kaminari. All three of them say the chocolate is great. #MHALN6

Kirishima exclaims in a manly way "this is so good!" Todoroki bluntly says "awesome." Kaminari says "this is actually good!"

Jirou says that thanks to Midoriya's food report, although it was pretty long, it was very helpful in getting the right taste. #MHALN6

Hagakure hands Bakugou some chocolate and says "I know you only eat sweets every so often, but you'll let us know how it tastes, right?" Bakugou's sense of taste is immaculate, and Satou and Yaoyorozu both remark how he told them some nuances in their cake and tea before. #MHALN6

Yaoyorozu also remarks that Mineta said he would help give feedback on their chocolate too, but that's because he's hoping to actually be gifted chocolate (in a non platonic way) instead. #MHALN6

Valentine's Day is not just a day where the girls confess to the guys, but it's also a day where everyone can clearly see how popular each guy is. Mineta has always wanted to be part of the popular crowd, but he just could never get there lol. #MHALN6

Sorry, a bit of a past tense mix up, but the part starting from where Yaoyorozu made the tea happened in the past, and they did a taste test with some of the guys earlier to get their feedback. So now in the present, they are currently making the chocolate for everyone. #MHALN6

Hagakure's comment about Bakugou only eating sweets occassionally is actually done in a reflective way, and that's why it prompts Yaoyorozu and Satou to make comments about how his immaculate sense of taste helped them with the nuances in their food. #MHALN6

They remarked when they gave the chocolate taste test to Kaminari, Todoroki, and Kirishima, they didn't really get helpful feedback other than the chocolate tastes good lol. Deku gave them a whole list of the taste breakdown, which they are currently using now to improve. #MHALN6

So back in the present, they are gossiping over Mineta as they continue to make the chocolate and other chocolate desserts. The girls say that if Mineta ever hopes of getting a confession chocolate, he better shape up his personality lol. #MHALN6

Satou says that the girls can take a break from making the chocolates, so the girls go outside to take a breather. The cold air contrasts greatly with the warmth within the dorm, but it gives them a breath of fresh air and is calming. #MHALN6

Hagakure points at a tree nearby and asks if it's a cherry blossom tree. Ochako says she remembers it was blooming when they first entered U.A. Academy. The girls get into a sentimental mood and reflect on how they're almost 2nd years and need to cherish these moments. #MHALN6

The girls mention they should do a cherry blossom picnic one of these days, and Ochako starts listing off food that she wants to eat during the picnic, all related to rice and mochi lol. As they talk about their future picnic plans, a girl with glasses comes up to them. #MHALN6

They don't recall seeing this girl before, but she shyly approaches them. She's holding a paper bag and meekly says, "excuse me um...can you please give this to Class A's Prince for me?" She hurriedly hands the bag to Yaoyorozu and then runs off. #MHALN6

The girls look at the chocolate and Ashido gets excited as she realizes that this is a confession chocolate! But they have no idea who's the "Prince of Class A" that the girl is referring to! #MHALN6

The girls have no clue, so they decide to open the bag to see if there might be a card where the guy's name is written on it. They do find a card, but all it says is:

To: The Prince of Class A
Thank you for saving me that one time.

#MHALN6

Yaoyorozu says they should try to think of who this "Prince of Class A" might be. Their clue is that he saved this girl, but the girl doesn't seem to be a first year, perhaps a 2nd or 3rd year even. #MHALN6

As Yaoyorozu and the others think about who the Prince might be, Ochako again has a fletting thought of a certain someone, but she shakes her head to tell herself that this isn't about that. Ashido notices Ochako acting weird. #MHALN6

Ashido asks what she was shaking her head for, and Ochako gets nervous and says it was because there was a bug around her. Tsuyu looks at her worriedly and says that the way Ochako was shaking her head, the bug was sure to have already flown off. #MHALN6

Hagakure says, "well, if we're talking about a Prince, then it's gotta be Todoroki" and everyone goes "ahh, right!!!" Yaoyorozu nods and says "it totally makes sense for it to be Todoroki!" but Jirou says appearance wise, Aoyama kinda would be prince-like too. #MHALN6

The girls then rethink their decision and go "ahh, right!" at the suggestion of Aoyama too. Aoyama's eyes are sparkly and his blonde hair is so smooth. Hagakure agrees that it totally could be Aoyama too. #MHALN6

The girls consider the other guys of Class A, and none of them give off Prince-like vibes aside from Todoroki and Aoyama. They then say that when they have confirmed who the "Prince" is by asking them if they saved someone recently, they will hand the chocolates to them. #MHALN6

They go to Aoyama's room to ask him, and he says "It's not me!☆ I don't remember saving a girl with glasses!" as he eats his cheese. The girls then go to ask Todoroki instead. He wasn't in his room and probably went to go train in the forest nearby. #MHALN6

The girls then rethink the situation. If the girl with the glasses called that person a Prince, then what exactly does that mean? They then realize that they shouldn't be thinking of a general idea of who might be prince-like, but who that girl might think is prince-like. #MHALN6

One of the girls mention that in shojo manga, when someone develops a crush, their crush always appears with sparkles around them regardless of what they look like as that's what happens when you're in love. #MHALN6

Ashido was the one who mentioned the shojo manga sparkles, even though she's never fallen in love before. Instead, she just refers to her shojo manga as "textbooks on love" lol. #MHALN6

Yaoyorozu then decides that since the perception of who is "Prince-like" is very subjective, they probably just need to go around and ask every single guy in Class A. They then set off to find each person one by one to ask. #MHALN6

Kaminari and Mineta were walking around and come up to the girls since they wanted chocolate, and they ask them where they're going. The girls ask if they remember saving a girl with glasses before, and both Kaminari and Mineta say it isn't them. #MHALN6

Mineta says he wants to help the girls find the guy, and Kaminari asks how much chocolate they have prepared. Jirou says they have tons of chocolate, like chocolate pudding, chocolate cake, etc., but Kaminari says he's asking about VALENTINE chocolate lol. #MHALN6

He and Mineta hope to get a ton of confession chocolate. Just as they say that though, a bunch of girls from another class swarm around them holding tons of chocolate. Kaminari and Mineta think it's for them, but instead... #MHALN6

The girls swarm around Jirou and say "Omg!! I'm your biggest fan, your song was awesome!! Please take these chocolates!!!!!" and hand Jirou a ton of chocolates. Jirou stammers and says, "Th...thanks!" and accepts the chocolate. #MHALN6

Kaminari sheds a tear and says, "The chocolates...were for YOU!??" Yaoyorozu said that Jirou's performance was spectacular, and the girls agree. Jirou gets flustered and tells them to stop complimenting her. Tsuyu helps Jirou hold the chocolate.

Mineta gets sad that he never gets chocolates and tries to take the chocolates from them. He starts throwing his mogimogi balls everywhere, but Ashido uses her acid veil to stop it. Kaminari tries to stop Mineta, and Mineta acts like he's a chocolate zombie. #MHALN6

The girls and Kaminari try to stop Mineta's craziness over not getting chocolate. Kaminari says he will hold him back and tells the girls to run. The girls then escape from Mineta's zombie-like clutches and run into Class B's Kaibara Sen. #MHALN6

Kaibara is with Tsuraba Kousei and Kuroiro Shihai. Tsuyu asks Tsuraba if they've seen any of the guys from Class A come this way. Tsuraba says they saw Todoroki a while back, and Tsuyu thanks them as the girls head to the direction where Todoroki went. #MHALN6

Kaibara and Kuroiro both tease Tsuraba and asks him if he was expecting Tsuyu to give him chocolates. He says obviously he though he was going to get handed chocolates since Tsuyu was holding (Jirou's) chocolates and approached them lol. #MHALN6

Kuroiro teases Tsubara too, and Tsubara rebutts by saying he saw Kuroiro earlier this morning getting all shy around Komori. Kuroiro says he was just saying hello to her. They then talk about how the Class B girls didn't want anything to do with this chocolate stuff. #MHALN6

Since the three of them didn't get any chocolate, they console themselves by going to buy some sweet drinks from the vending machine lol. Sad life lol #MHALN6

As the girls head to the direction where Todoroki went, they come across Kirishima, Sero, and Koda (with a bunny following him) in the middle of training. They didn't seem to know about the girl with the glasses either. #MHALN6

As they walk past Kirishima, Sero, and Koda, they see that Tokoyami, Shoji, and Ojiro were getting chocolates from girls from another class lol. Ochako, Jirou, and Hagakure say "wow, they're quite popular!" and one of the girls say, "Ojiro too- that's amazing!" lol #MHALN6

Poor Ojiro got a ton of small chocolate boxes, which turned out to be only "giri-chocolate," which is a kind of chocolate given out of obligation (for example, coworkers usually give giri chocolate to each other since they're obligated to do so). Poor Ojiro lol #MHALN6

Tokoyami and Shoji also only received "giri-chocolate" too, and Ojiro explains that most of these girls they helped out with small things, like returning a lost item, or letting someone borrow an umbrella, etc. lol #MHALN6

The girls make jokes about how Ojiro's plainness, and even Dark Shadow chimes in and calls Ojiro the Prince of Plainness LOL. Poor Ojiro. Hagakure then says, "I got it!" and deems Ojiro as the Prince of Giri-Chocolate, which Ojiro says isnt really a compliment. #MHALN6

The girls then hear Mineta coming over (like the chocolate man in Spongebob) and run away since Mineta is following the smell of chocolate and saying "CHO..COLATE!!!! CHO......colate!!!!" as if he's a zombie lol #MHALN6

As the girls approach the school building to find Todoroki, they see Bakugou. Ochako was about to call out to him when they see that a girl holding chocolate was approaching him. They immediately stop and hide to watch the events unfold. #MHALN6

The girl was from another class, and everyone watches from the sidelines with baited breath as the girl goes closer to Bakugou while holding the bag of chocolates. Jirou and Ashido mention that they're watching a real confession unfold right before their very eyes. #MHALN6

Even Tokoyami, Ojiro, and Shoji come by to watch, but zombie Mineta, on the hunt for chocolate, comes close to them. Shoji apologizes as he shuts him up as everyone watches with baited breath. Deku and Iida also come and ask what's going on? #MHALN6

Everyone tells Deku and Iida to be quiet as they're watching Bakugou get confessed to. Iida and Deku asks what kind of confession, and Ochako and Ashido says "it's Valentine's Day, obviously a love confession, duh!!" and Iida is stunned. #MHALN6

Everyone watches quietly as they watch this girl looks like she's trying to muster up courage to talk to Bakugou. She then says, "Excuse me...um...it's open..."

Bakugou looks at her and says, "Wha??"

The girl responds, "Your fly...is open..." and points to his pants. #MHALN6

Bakugou looks down at his pants, and his zipper was completely open for the entire world to see. The girl then says, "Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. I need to go meet up with my boyfriend now, so yeah, by!" and runs off. #MHALN6

Bakugou gets annoyed and scoffs as he zips his pants up. Ojiro then says "Man, I thought it was gonna be a real confession!" and Deku says, "actually, it might come as a surprise, but Kacchan has never received chocolate from anyone ever." Ashido says, "No way!!??" #MHALN6

Deku goes on to explain that when Bakugou was younger, he gave no pity to girls and would get really mad when his mom doted upon him, so he felt that girls were a pain in the ass. Bakugou never received any giri-chocolate from any girl either. #MHALN6

Bakugou sees Deku talking about him, and says "Damnit, Deku! What the hell are you doing talking about random shit like that!?" and approaches Deku while preparing to fire a blast at him. Deku says, "Ahh, stop it, Kacchan!" but Bakugou tries to fight Deku. #MHALN6

The others try to stop Bakugou from fighting Deku, but it's no use. They eventually just let them duke it out with each other. Even though they're fighting, at least their relationship has returned to that of actual childhood friends since they entered U.A. #MHALN6

The girls then remember that they were supposed to look for the "Prince of Class A." They then ask Tokoyami, Shoji, and Ojiro if they recall saving a girl with glasses. None of them do, so Tsuyu asks Deku and Bakugou about it mid-fight lol. #MHALN6

Deku nor Bakugou recall saving a girl with glasses. Ochako lets out a sigh of relief at hearing Deku's answer and says "thank goodness."

Bakugou then asks why they're even looking for a girl with glasses. #MHALN6

Yaoyorozu then explains what exactly happened, and everyone is trying to figure out who the "Prince" is. Todoroki then comes up to them while holding a big box. Someone asks what is Todoroki doing with that big box. #MHALN6

Todoroki says he's not sure why, but he got sent this big box of chocolates for some reason. Deku says that maybe these chocolates were sent by the people who watched Todoroki and Bakugou's interview on TV. Bakugou unfortunately got nothing though since his part was cut. #MHALN6

Iida is the one who remarked that, and Bakugou says, "goddamnit, four eyes. Stop making me remember that shit!" #MHALN6

Todoroki then pulls out two pieces of chocolate from his pocket and says, "Oh right." He then says, "Midoriya, Iida, here." He hands them chocolate and Deku says, "Oh, thanks!" and Iida asks "But why...?" #MHALN6

Todoroki says he heard from Yaoyorozu that on Valentine's Day, you give chocolates to your friends. Yaoyorozu is touched to see such a nice display of friendship. Everyone, aside from Bakugou, looks on and smiles softly as they think about how nice it is to have friends. #MHALN6

Both Deku and Iida run off to buy some chocolate in return, and Todoroki sends them off with a soft smile. Everyone is happy to see how much Todoroki has changed since when they first entered U.A. #MHALN6

Yaoyorozu then remembers and asks Todoroki if he recalls saving a girl with glasses. Todoroki says he doesn't recall doing that. So this leaves Satou as the only one left who could be the Prince. #MHALN6

As the group returns back to the dorm, they hear MIneta coming around and saying "CHOCOLATEEEE!!!!! CHOOOCOLATEEE!!!!" Mineta gets jealous of Todoroki's chocolates and starts throwing mogi mogi balls at him. #MHALN6

oh my god ROFLMAO I KNEW IT GODDAMNIT

As Mineta goes on his chocolate zombie spree, the girl with the glasses approaches them and says that the Class A Prince is among them. Ashido hands her the chocolate and says "you go girl, you can do it!" and the girl gives the chocolates to...MINETA!

GFDI #MHALN6

Mineta is shocked he received chocolates. Since Mineta didn't recall saving her, the girl explains a week ago, she fell down and lost her glasses, and Mineta held out a hand to her and asked, "are you all right, Miss?" It was the first time anyone did that for her. #MHALN6

The girl then blushes as she confesses to Mineta, but Mineta is so shocked that he stops moving. Ashido tries to shake him awake, and he asks if the girl is truly confessing to him. The girl says she likes him and wants to at least start off as friends. #MHALN6

Mineta then goes into his stupid pervert mode and asks the girl to come to his room or maybe go to somewhere more private in the woods. He says lewd shit, and the girl is shocked as she sees his true colors and says "never talk to me again!!!" #MHALN6

The rest of Class A are disgusted by Mineta and scold him, saying it serves him right to be dumped. Mineta doesn't know what happened as the girl said she liked him. The other girls then say that he is absolutely despicable. #MHALN6

They tell him that he lost his only chance, probably ever, of getting with someone. Mineta then turns back into a walking corpse. Satou then comes and says, "aw, cheer up Mineta." He hands a box to Mineta. #MHALN6

Mineta opens the box to see a heart shaped chocolate piece with Mienta's face drawn on with cream. Satou says he figured Mineta wouldn't get any chocolate this Valentine's, so he made a special grape chocolate to console him with lol. #MHALN6

Everyone tries to cheer up MIneta, and he starts crying but says "I...I wanted to get chocolates from a girl though..." Bakugou watches this and thinks, "what a freakin' idiot" and walks back to the dorm. #MHALN6

The chapter ends with the kids going back to the dorms to eat all the chocolate that they made together. The ending line is "They say chocolate is akin to an aphrodisiac. Perhaps eating it will even cause love to bloom. Only God knows for sure though." The End lol
#MHALN6

Okay will start summarizing "Part 3: The Snowy Mountain Camp Spring Festival." I might stop halfway though since it's like almost 4am in Japan lol. Will write at the midway point and then probably resume summarizing later in the day. #MHALN6

I'll make it in a separate thread since the Valentine's one became incredibly long. I'll link all threads back to this one though when they're complete, so you can bookmark this main thread where all of my chapter summaries will eventually be linked. #MHALN6

I just realized I missed a chapter. Part 5 is the U.A. Studio PV Trailer Filming, Part 6 is the Teacher's Cherry Blossom Picnic. #MHALN6
