This was middle of the road for me. I could take it or leave it. It doesn't compare to the original manga that's for sure.

Such a fun manga. If your a fan of the My Hero Academia series you'll enjoy these little snippets and insights of what might be going on on a regular day for our characters. I liked getting to see more into different characters as well who aren't really around but are shown once or twice in the manga / anime like Mt.Lady who gets a day for some relaxation, you get to see a different side of the league of Villian. Then for the person I'm really there for Shoto Aizawa who is my favorite. It's not a book I'd just sit though and read straight on to the very end, its just in little burst because this really is all over the place but still a fun read.

My Hero Academia: Smash is a series intent on retelling the original series that we love so much (My Hero Academia, in case that wasn't painfully obvious), but with a more...humorous twist. If you haven't read the original series, a lot of what happens here probably won't make a lot of sense.

Likewise, if you don't want to see MHA without it's more serious edge...this probably isn't the series for you. It's a little bit quirky, and a whole lot crazy. Not exactly the series that caught our attention, to put it mildly.

My Hero Academia: Smash!! Vol. 4 is the latest parody volume to hit the shelves, and you can tell that it had a lot of fun here. Though I feel like this latest volume got even further away from the original plot arcs and just had some fun. For the record, I don't actually think that's a bad thing.

It's hard to take a serious arc and turn it into something silly and crazy without losing something. The last volume showed us that. So I'm glad that this volume had a bit of a looser format. At least, that was how it felt to me.

There are still plenty of jokes to be found, and like the rest of the series, you really have to be a fan of MHA in order to understand even half of them. But it's all in good fun, and it's a nice way of relaxing after watching some of the crazier things occur in the main series.

Thank you Viz Media for an ARC Copy.

This volume is very cute, and it's fun to see the little things everyone is getting up to between the main storyline. This series is perfect for fans of the main manga series to be able to just get a bit more from the story and all the characters.

Thanks to Viz Media and Netgalley for the digital ARC.

This volume continues the fun lighthearted comedy found in the My Hero Academia: Smash!! series. I think any fan of My Hero Academia or lighthearted comedy will enjoy this book. The humor is easily accessible for those not versed in Japanese culture (which is useful as there are no liner notes) and moves at a good pace. Smash!!, always fun.

This book is full of the typical funny hijinks expected from the UA crew. I enjoy the brief vignettes which make this readable and easy to be enjoyed by my middle school students. The stories continue to build the characters’ personalities and the visuals are engaging.
