more of fighting mineta, or just less page time for him, he gets worse every time he shows up. also aizawa is acting father to m a n y of these children the scene with shigaraki and midoriya in the mall is so spooky, and the extra large panels of shigaraki are getting creepier by the volume

this is an invaluable resource created by someone with personal experience and it shows. stand outs to me were the resources, including one section focused on “helping your provider help you” which i will be saving to bring to dr appointments. a great place to start general research for medical transitioning but ill def be looking through the bibliography to add

shoto the hand crusher. legend. also begging for more info on why people became heroes bc gran torino saying he only got his hero license so he could use his quirk legally combined with the hero killer being a very ideological villian just adds so much interest for me. and izuku adapting kacchan’s moves to improve his quirk is so amazing and i love how much bakugo HATES it. i needed more people to smack the fuck out of mineta this vol though

the hero killer is such an interesting add to the lore about heroes and the legality of their actions versus the moral justifications, especially when fame is involved. and hes drawn soooooo creepy like shigaraki so he gets cool points. and i love the very brief intro of present mic and eraser head being in the same year at UA (and husbands👀)

and sweet izuku putting his own win on the line to make sure we get emo boy shoto’s sad backstory and a new power up . the todoroki origin chapter is ELITE- from the unlocked memories to the yelled pep talk. and i love bakugo’s win and how much he hates it

i love this arc for establishing the competitive nature of the hero students since it’s so integral to how the whole popularity system of heroes work in this world. i have questions about why multiple women characters get the “originally a dude but i thought it would be more interesting if she was a woman” … what do you mean by that. and the appearance of the past users of one for all!! love a breadcrumb about magic power origins

roll credits. little slice of slice type beat for apartment hunting and more of it’s and yuki being inexplicably made for each other. also starting a language exchange is exactly the move for that couple, so adorable
