First published in 2014, the series quickly gained popularity and has since become one of the most beloved and widely-read manga of the modern era. The story takes place in a world where the majority of people have special powers known as "quirks". These quirks are inherited genetically and give people unique abilities that can range from super strength and speed to the ability to control the elements. The protagonist of the series is a young boy named Izuku Midoriya, who is part of the small minority of people who do not have quirks. Despite this, he dreams of becoming a hero and fighting to protect people, just like his idol, All Might, the world's greatest hero. When he meets All Might, he learns that his dreams may not be out of reach after all. The series follows Midoriya as he attends U.A. High School, a school for budding heroes. Along with other students with unique quirks, he trains to become a professional hero, learning how to control and use his newfound abilities. The series is filled with intense battles, heartwarming moments, and deep reflections on the nature of heroism and what it means to be a hero. One of the strengths of My Hero Academia is its diverse cast of characters. From Midoriya, who represents the never-give-up spirit, to Bakugo, who is the epitome of arrogance and confidence, each character is unique and memorable. Horikoshi has created a world where people of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds can be heroes, and the series often explores the ways in which different characters' quirks and personalities interact with each other. We learn about the history of quirks and the role of heroes in society. The series delves into important themes such as what it means to be a hero, the value of friendship and teamwork, and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity. The artwork in My Hero Academia is top-notch, and the action scenes are some of the most intense and visually stunning in all of the manga. Horikoshi is masterful at balancing action and character development, and readers are always eager to see what challenges the characters will face next. Whether it's a massive villain attack or a smaller, more personal struggle, the story will keep you on the edge of your seat. The My Hero Academia manga has also been adapted into an extremely successful anime series, as well as various video games and spin-off manga.
