My Hero Academia Book Review

My Hero Academia (or MHA) is a manga written by Kohei Horikoshi, and it is also an anime that you can watch on the app Crunchyroll. The story is set in the future, around 2034, and is about our world if 80% of the population had powers, or “quirks”, because saying “superpower” would be copying Marvel, which is sad. In this version of the world, there are people who take on positions as “heroes” and people who take on position as “villains”, and the streets start looking like scenes out of comic books. The story’s main character is one of the 20% that doesn’t have a “quirk”. His name is Izuku Midoriya, but his childhood “friend” calls him Deku as an insult. In the story, Izuku is encountered by a villain and the number one hero, All Might, saves his life. Now, Izuku has looked up to this man for his whole life, wanting to be him even though Izuku doesn’t have a “quirk”, so being saved by him, let alone meeting him, is a big honor. However, I don’t want to spoil the story, so let’s just say… Izuku ends up receiving a quirk from the number one hero, and he tries the entrance exam for the school U.A., a school that all the greatest heroes have gone to. The rest of the story is about the friendships, enemies, and goals that Izuku made. My Hero Academia is a book (or manga) that I recommend because not only are battles fought, but lessons are taught, friendships are made and, at least in my opinion, this book is a funny and interesting read.

I would say that this book is more for older kids as it contains blood and sensitive topics.
