![]() ![]() It's dramatic, while not taking itself too seriously. ![]() I wish someone would publish a floppy all color version of this book as it would likely destroy american comics sales, it really is that good. Everyone is human, everyone is broken and everyone is awesome in this series in their own way. ![]() It is highly doubtful you will not find someone either good or bad that you root for. The world of MHA is grand and vast and full of interesting characters and events. There's really not much to add except that if you haven't already read the series, now would be a good time to start, though not here. I sincerely hope that Viz will soon release a book of MHA artwork because I would love to pore over full color illustrations in a larger format of Horikoshi-sensei's brilliant art. Tremendous action is always drawn tremendously. But it is always ramped up, hyper and plus ultra. A lot is happening in a lot of scenes and honestly, there are times especially in fight scenes when things can get a bit confusing. So yeah, it achieves what all great serialized stories do, which is make the reader want to start the next volume and NOW. The first half ends in a rather somber way, and the second half of the book is lighter and more fun, a kind of break, I'm sure, before the story kicks it into high gear again with the villains. Half the book is the conclusion of a major story arc, and the other half follows other characters and then the book ends on an ominous note. So I picked up a little earlier than I left off last time with vol. It speaks to the brilliance of the story that it makes me care so much. ![]() It's quite infuriating watching the bad guys always slink away or somehow manage to disrupt and hurt the heroes without any actual payback. Which has been happening again and again and again in MHA since the manga began. And I guess it's because I love the intensity and the passion of Deku that I feel so much when the villains win, or claim any kind of victory. So here we are picking up where we left off. Then of course, a couple of volumes dropped and not wanting another case of One Piece happening again, I decided to dive in again before it gets so out of control I can't possibly catch up without sacrificing all my reading. I had run through them quickly and was honestly just a little too overwhelmed by all of the developments in the story so I had to take a break from the manga. I haven't been keeping up with the volumes of My Hero Academia recently. So their was a lot of exciting things that happen in this book and it is full steam ahead for what continues to be one of the best comics series around. The key moment in these chapters is the fated conversation between the retired hero All Might and his rival Endeavor. The latter half of the book finds the characters Shoto, Bakugo, & Inasa completing a very strange test for their hero licenses. I got to say what happens to Mirio is heart breaking but Horikoshi does leave open some hope for his future in the series. It really cements the importance of this arc and its impact on the main characters going forward. I was very surprise by the death that happens in this book. Midoriya knows he must win so the heroes can continue to protect the people and love ones they care about. Overhaul desperately wants a world without quirks. Their battle becomes more than just a standard good versus evil match but they are both fiercely fighting for the world they want to see. What really makes the battle all the more exciting are the convictions our villain and hero bring to the fight. Horikoshi really pays a great homage to American superhero comics with a few full page spreads of Overhaul and Midoriya in brutal combat. This volume is filled with a lot of emotion and some great action set pieces. Another splendid volume of My hero Academia. ![]()
