My Hero Academia, Vol. 1 by Kōhei Horikoshi
4.0
Despite all the manga I've racked up that is on my TBR, someone recommended this to me a couple of days ago and I read it all in one day. I really enjoyed it and thought it was a great introduction to the series. I can say that I know I'm prime audience because I love hero stories. LOVE. While this is of course tasked with some of the leg-work of the introduction and while I did lose myself in the action (and how it was drawn) a few times, I thought the overall experience was worthy of a 4-star rating.
Here are some of the positives:
- I know he's kind of whiny but the MC is also a precious cinnamon roll.
- "I'm so sorry" vs "you can be a hero" *cries forever*
- The MC works really hard and yes he gets a little luck and a power but hardwork is there.
- Obvs don't know where the series is headed, but I'm so happy the MC starts with some traditional hero qualities. None of this anti-hero mess. HERO! HERO! HERO!
- The meta-jokes, especially about how All Might is drawn. Love.
And so now I've got a cart of all 7 released volumes and two pre-orders and I'll one day make them all mine.
