Synopsis

One day, a four-year-old boy came to a sudden realization: the world is not fair. Eighty percent of the world's population wield special abilities, known as "quirks," which have given many the power to make their childhood dreams of becoming a superhero a reality. Unfortunately, Izuku Midoriya was one of the few born without a quirk, suffering from discrimination because of it. Yet, he refuses to give up on his dream of becoming a hero; determined to do the impossible, Izuku sets his sights on the elite hero training academy, UA High.

However, everything changes after a chance meeting with the number one hero and Izuku's idol, All Might. Discovering that his dream is not a dead end, the powerless boy undergoes special training, working harder than ever before. Eventually, this leads to him inheriting All Might's power, and with his newfound abilities, gets into his school of choice, beginning his grueling journey to become the successor of the best hero on the planet.

I would like to express my gratitude to Horikoshi for the 10 years of serialization of one of the most successful manga of all time. Despite some negative nicknames like "Mid Hero Academia," the series has redefined what it means to be a hero and has inspired many people to pursue their dreams. As a fan of the series, I'm overall satisfied with how it ended, but I do have some issues with the ending. Despite the ups and downs and controversies during its serialization, I appreciate how Horikoshi stayed true to the essence of the title. I think the ending could have been better, ...

Mixed Feelings
I just finished the manga. And it was over all just ok. Not bad but nothing amazing. Like it did have some high points especially in the first 100 chapter and during the first war arc but the manga suffers was not really having the balls to kill off anyone important. Like it wants to have tension in some of it later more serious arcs but it’s hard feel the tension when you realize that no one important can die. It also suffers from the issue of having an huge cast of characters many of which are all under developed and come off pretty one ...

How can I start, it is a typical action-adventure shonen, that starts showing us a world that is not usually seen in animes, which I liked, however, the story is very childish and does not bring any emotion to the reader, though the artist tried to spicy it up on the last few volumes, it was not enough to make it a good story. But the worst part is the end, I do not wish to spoiler, but as someone who grew up watching BNH, I'm afraid to say that I'm more disappointed with this end than with Fairy Tail end, the character development is ...
