ANON: HEAD | COMMUNICATIONS | SOCIAL MEDIAHello! It's the head mod Anon. Deku is my absolute favorite character and what is better than one Deku with any other character? Well two (or more) Dekus of course. <3 I'm still fairly new to Zines, but I got an excellent team to cover for that and over two years of project and organization leading experience. Currently I draw for living while studying in University, so good time management is one of my big passions.

FLOR: GRAPHIC DESIGN | FINANCE | SHIPPINGGood day, Deku enthusiasts! I’m Flor, part time multshipper and full time Deku lover. I’m excited for this project because it combines two of my favorite things: Deku and zines. I'm currently the head mod for Deku: Pro Hero, Pro Lover and an assistant mod for Thicker Than Honey!

AJ: WRITINGHi there! I'm A.J. —the writer mod for this zine! Obviously, just like the other talented mods, Deku's one of my all-time favourite characters, and he deserves all the love, so I'm super hyped to a part of this zine! I'm an English Lit. degree student at the moment, and I like to mod and write for zines in my free time.

NANA: ARTHey, art mod Nana here! This is the first time I mod a zine so I'm so excited given that I love Deku in all his versions with all my heart, and I'm a big enthusiast of making said versions interact with each other in all the right and wrong ways. My work as a doctor doesn't always give me enough free time to draw and write as I'd like, but I'm so ready to give my all in the name of Dekucest, ha!
