another great my hero academia story! i love seeing all the behind the scenes things and it's always so much fun to get a new perspective on the characters like Shinso and I adore seeing Midnight again!! Hope to see more of the pros like Hawks and present mic soon too <3

This volume has seven chapters of (maybe non-canon) hijinks in a more comedic bent. Mineta acting as a dog to infiltrate the girls’ rooms but unwittingly orchestrating an animal trafficking sting. Some Class 1-A girls want to slim down for summer, and Class 1-B members get in touch with their instincts. There’s also a story featuring Rody from World Heroes’ Mission as he and his siblings visit Japan for the day. All these tales are completed in their standalone chapters, which means they’re easy to digest.

The same problems I had with previous volumes are present, mainly that many stories end in an action conflict unnecessarily. It’s definitely fine to have a slice of life chapter without it turning into a battle manga, but I digress. This volume also features plenty of Midoriya and Bakugo, and I would rather focus on the lesser-known cast members. Thankfully, their presence usually is offset by other characters, so they aren’t hogging the spotlight.

With the main My Hero Academia series delving into serious territory with its endgame, it’s nice to have some levity. It’s not a groundbreaking spin-off series, but it does the job in providing an entertaining read. Just don’t expect too much out of it.

Team-Up Missions contains light-hearted side stories from My Hero Academia. I was going to say that it was more wholesome, but maybe not as much in this volume because of Mineta. It's still entertaining though, with the best chapter being the one where Class 1-A has to role play and pretend to be each other. I don't think this stuff ever had anything to do with the main storyline, but I want to believe the characters didn't just skip their youthful days to become child solders.
