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.
