Why i picked itI decided to read My Hero Academia because one of my fav BookTubers, JessetheReader, is doing Manga Mondays every other week, and this was the first one he did a discussion video on (check it out here!). I've only read a couple graphic novels: Tea Dragon Society and Mouse Guard: Fall 1152. I was a big fan of one, and not so much of the other, so I decided that I would give manga a try, especially since I'd heard a lot about My Hero Academia and Death Note! summary Izuku Midoriya is a middle school student in a world where 80% of the population have "quirks" (or superhero abilities), so it's just a normalcy now. Unfortunately, Midoriya is one of the quirkless, but he has big dreams of going to U.A. High School, a selective school for budding heroes. what i likedI actually really loved this manga! I wasn't sure what I was going to think going into it. But I loved Horikoshi's voice that came through each of the characters and the different insight portions and character profiles. Between the manga issues, Horikoshi will do a character profile and show a certain character (normally one that was recently introduced) and give random facts on the character (likes & dislikes, etc.). Horikoshi has such a unique and humorous voice, so I love seeing those. He even ties that into the manga itself as well. Another thing I love is the world. I think the idea of 80% of the population having quirks and abilities is super cool. Because what really would happen if superpowers were actually the norm? Midoriya is a cute character and has such an endearing quality of being a MAJOR geek when it comes to heroes. He's always geeking out every time he sees a hero. He's also a dreamer. Even without a quirk, he's determined to make it into U.A. High School. He pushes himself to the limit and pushes past the haters to eventually go and take the entrance exam at the High School. You can watch him grow from a middle school geek to a more mature, going-into-high-school geek. The other characters each have such unique personalities too, and I have started to fall into love (and hatred) with each one of them! They have unique abilities, and it's fun to get to know each one of the characters and the different capabilities they have with their quirks! what i didn't likeReally, I didn't have a lot of dislikes. I tried to take my time and enjoy the graphics. I guess the biggest thing was just it was definitely an adjustment to start reading from right to left instead of left to right. But it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, and the book was a pleasant surprise! overall impression 🌟🌟🌟🌟Since this is one of the first mangas I've ever read, I’m really happy and excited that I loved it! I’m excited to continue on with the series and see what happens with Jesse's discussion videos and posts! I think Jesse did a good job of picking something fun and light to read and discuss, and it's something that I think most people would enjoy!
