My Hero Academia Volume 1-5 Collection 5 Books Set

Having watched the anime, I decided I wanted to check out the My Hero Academia manga to see how it compares. And I have to say these first five volumes do not disappoint. Kohei Horikoshi creates an engaging, immersive narrative which draws clear inspiration from the mythology of American superhero comics interpreted through the worldbuilding lens of shonen manga like Naruto or One Piece.You're probably aware of the general plot if you're reading the reviews but the story of My Hero Academia takes place in a world where 80% of the population has a superpower, or Quirk. People who train to use their quirks to protect society are recognised as pro heroes and Izuku Midoriya's dream is to become a pro hero. However, he is one of the few people born without a Quirk and is humiliated by his peers for wishing to become a hero. When Izuku meets All Might, the number one hero in Japan and his idol, and tries to save his childhood friend and rival Katsuki Bagukou from a villain, he is offered the chance of being given the power to realise his dreams of heroism and enrol in the prestigious hero academy U.A. High.The author Kohei Horokoshi crafts a simple yet rich world in My Hero Academia. His characters are bold and larger than life. The stories are fun with a solid balance of humour, action and emotional character interactions. As for the art, it pops with dynamic action and adventure. Whilst the plot isn't the most complex, this issue is resolved later in the series as the story progresses. As an introduction to the series, My Hero Academia Volumes 1-5 is a treat for superhero and shonen fans alike.

Was a gift. Much loved, arrived in good condition.

Our granddaughter loves these books

I bought these for my Grandson, he loves them, will be buying a volume every month for him. Excellent condition, good price & super fast delivery.

My daughter LOVES these books , she is starting the collection

First 5 chapters are a brilliant start to a great franchise, the first 5 chapters end at the tournament arc iirc, and was great storytelling mixed with great introductions to the villains.

The books were in amazing condition when they came and were very good.

Item arrived quickly and I got all 6 volumes as stated. Awesome story. Has elements similar elements to One Punch Man (superheroes and whatnots) but other than that, it is its own story. In terms of quality, it is like a typical VIZ quality. The cover is gloss finished and it's very colourful with an American comic cover concept. Looks good on the shelf.
