Thank you to NetGalley, Viz Media, and Kohei Horikoshi for the opportunity to read My Hero Academia Volume One in exchange for an honest review.

I started off with the anime and loved it, and many students (I am a teacher) have been begging me to read the manga. It has been on my list for a while, I've just been lazy about reading it. Since I saw it on NetGalley, I was like, sure, why not?

My Hero Academia is set in a world where, after an event when a baby was born emitting light, the population began to develop quirks. Quirks are basically individual powers, though quirks do not develop after age four. All Midoriya wants is to be a hero, but he's quirkless, so does that mean he can never be a hero?

It's not the power that counts, but the heart behind it. Midoriya has the heart of a hero, and Number One Hero All Might sees that in the boy. All Might chooses Midoriya to pass his own quirk onto (something that is one-of-a-kind). Now Midoriya can go to U.A. High, the finest hero academy there is. But he has quite a bit of training to do before he will be able to utilize his handed-down quirk to its fullest potential and become a top hero.

I love the anime. I love the manga (so far), and this is just an all-around fun series for all ages. Also, I enjoy the light novels. ;p

Aside: My favorite character is Bakugo.

My husband and I watched some of the anime the other day and I was interested in reading this .

I enjoyed reading My Hero Academia vol. 1. it is all very well done.

I do recommend.

It was alright, I don't know why people love it so... *shrugs* The story was good, art was good. Maybe I'll try and watch the series?! Maybe!

I was excited to read this comic as a friend is enthralled with it and the tv series. The format did not allow me to fully enjoy the book and it was laid out in the style of American comics. The storyline is relatable, we all want to be a superhero but what happens when you are not and everyone around you is? The comic explores this is details, as well as friendships and family.

"My Hero Academia, Vol. 1" was alright, but the formatting and watermark made it too difficult to read.

Fantasy became reality.

You too can become a hero. In a world where crime is rampant and superheroes are born, Izuku Midoriya is a bit of an oddity.

He is quirkless but still longs to be a hero. Otaku to those with quirks, Deku has big dreams of going to UA Academy, the best superhero school around. But how can he when he lacks any power of his own?

His future changes when his path collides with the biggest superhero there is, All Might. This chance encounter shows him that even the Quirkless are special and if you put your mind to it any and everything is possible.

I’ve watched My Hero Academia for awhile so I knew the gist of it long before I read the manga so while I wasn’t surprised by anything in this comic I was happy to rehash it. This is a fun and special read, unique in its own way with that special fun Shonen quality with plenty of action and laughs.

Izuku is a cute/nerdy character that make him oh so adorable. My favorite though has to be All Might especially when he transforms into his weakened mode. He looks like a desiccated Yugi Muto from Yugi-oh and I’m just loving it.

This is an enjoyable read with plenty of characters that’ll keep you interested until the end and have you wanting more. And trust, you will get it.

Thank you to Netgalley and Viz Media for this copy of my ARX.
