In My Hero Academia we see that when Midoriya is mumbling they use ブツ to
symbolize it. Is this the rule for anime/manga/japanese or does it only happen
in My Hero Academia?

Is it usual in anime/manga/japanese to use ブツ as onomatopoeia of mumbling?


ブツブツ or ぶつぶつ (the same word, just in katakana vs hiragana) is a standard
Japanese onomatopoeia for mumbling, muttering, or grumbling to oneself. [This
list of Japanese onomatopoeia](https://www.nihongomaster.com/blog/japanese-
onomatopoeia-guide/) includes ぶつぶつ in it, along with many other onomatopoeia
that show up in manga.
