Description
What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?
Middle school student Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he hasn’t got an ounce of power in him. With no chance of ever getting into the prestigious U.A. High School for budding heroes, his life is looking more and more like a dead end. Then an encounter with All Might, the greatest hero of them all, gives him a chance to change his destiny…

My Hero Academia (Boku No Hero Academia) is super popular at my school. I've watched a few of the anime episodes, but hadn't read the books.
80% of the population is born with a quirk. Midoriya is part of the 20% born with no powers, but he still would do anything to become a hero. All Might gives him a chance to change his fate.
Volume 1 is a lighthearted story, but it still has all the action you want in a superhero book. I love seeing everyone's quirk. It reminds me of XMen. Each quirk is a different power and it sometimes affects how the characters look. The entrance exam was a lot of fun because you saw so many character's quirks.
I will definitely be picking up the rest of this series.
