Not everyone needs a license to fight for justice!

In a superpowered society, there is nothing ordinary about evil anymore. Heroes, trained and licensed to protect and defend the public against supervillains, stand above all the rest. Not everyone can be a hero, however, and there are those who would use their powers to serve the people without legal sanction. But do they f

Much better than the last volume!
We end the Captain Celebrity arc and get to see Crawler do really good with what he has learned.
Then the old Master Knuckleduster gets some backstory (he had a power!) and he had a fight with the guy controlling the living bombs (Nemu prototypes?). Anyway nice to not have someone follow the Vigilantes.
Then we get a back story with Young Eraser Head and a Young barely legal barely dressed Midnight! oh and a young yet still annoying DJ hero. I mean the story was re

PRINCE IS A JAPANESE SUPERHERO NAMED "HIS PURPLE HIGHNESS" AND HE LEADS A TEAM OF JAPANESE TEEN HEROES-IN-TRAINING KNOWN AS "THE PURPLE REVOLUTION AGENCY." This isn't a throwaway gag, either -- he's a major factor in this arc, revealed to be the mentor of the heroine Midnight (which makes SO MUCH SENSE) and the man who trained Aizawa Shota.

Midnight's risque-costume is even given backstory here, as it turns out she was originally an exhibitionist who wanted to fight crime naked...only to have th

Captain Celebrity's arc is coming to an end, Knuckleduster gets back on the stage and we get to see some background story for Aizawa in this one. All in all, a lot happens and I can't say that I didn't like it. Still, I'm getting the feeling that the series gradually loses its focus on what it wants to tell.

This started out as a side story with its own charming characters, low stakes and the occasional MHA cameo. Now it feels like a side-playground where more stories about MHA can be told and th

4.5/5 and only because it’s unfinished.

There were two different stories in this volume and I loved both. Knuckleduster vs number 6 was cool. Knuckles is a great fighter, especially because he doesn’t have a quirk anymore and his experience with that particular quirk really helped out. This number 6 guy, cute little squishy thing, is probably a prototype of a Nomu tight? This is All For One’s doing, passing quirks on to these little beings made by the doctor. Seeing that little thing watch TV and

It’s not that I didn’t like this volume, a lot of elements I enjoyed quite a bit, especially seeing some of eraser heads school days, alongside other pro hero’s from the main series. I think mainly my biggest gripe was how most of Kiochi’s achievements in the arc, and how well he was helping CC, was just overshadowed by All might coming in and fixing the whole situation. Taking the high stakes ending of volume 7, and just resolving it near instantaneously. Although, on a positive note, I enjoyed ...more

Deus Ex All Might!

This wasn't a bad volume, but our main characters are hardly in it. We do get some interesting reveals about Knuckleduster in the middle, while the ending of the whole Sky Egg fiasco wraps up early on (see opening sentence) in a flashy if slightly unsatisfying way.

Then the series decides to play flashback and flesh out Eraser Head and Present Mic's past, which would be fine if this wasn't a series that already had main characters we could be dealing with instead. It's an odd c

There's a young Aizawa on the cover and I'm adoring this blast into the past! Yeah, the Sky Egg is falling and about 50,000 people are in danger. Yeah, there's a criminal running around with a stolen quirk and bad drugs. But we get to see Aizawa as a teenager! And where there's an Eraserhead, there's a Present Mic, and often a Midnight.

Three of our favorite teachers from the original get an arc about their time at UA, including work study! Let's see if you can catch the JoJo reference in the Pr

I l o v e when we get to see the background stories of characters from the main story, and the dynamic between Kayama, Yamada, Shota, and Shirakumo makes me want to reread the volume on repeat. I can’t wait for the next volume, even though I know the next few chapters are going to rip my heart to shreds.

But isn’t that what all good reads do?

This series has some serious pacing issues.

It does have some redeeming character moments. It also holds some information on MHA characters past which at the moment is one of the main reasons I am sticking to reading this.

The end of the Captain Celebrity arc is nice, and I really enjoyed the All Might cameo. Then we got into the Aizawa backstory arc, and I... have my quibbles with it. There are some things I really like, but then there's a lot that feels like we're still missing a huge chunk of his story. Because sure, I get being depressed, especially when he's being bullied by a classmate--but Aizawa got himself into UA and the hero course, he clearly believed in himself at *some* point, I want to see a growth ...more

Un manga genial lleno de acción y poderes novedosos. Me encantan los equipos de los viejos heroes y como es que Shota Aizawa empezo a usar sus poderes en serio mostrando al mundo todo lo que podía hacer.
