My Hero Academia Volume 1 – Manga Review

Of course, right after I go on hiatus, I start having a bunch of things to post…ah, such is life. Except I wrote this review quite a while ago, so maybe it doesn’t count…? In any case, My Hero Academia (although I prefer the Japanese title, Boku no Hero Academia for no real reason) is a really fun series and I’m hoping I get the opportunity to review future volumes of the manga. It moves really well, the characters are cute, and there’s a great sense of energy. Definitely recommended if you’re looking for a shounen battler that feels fresh and fun (instead of like generic Shounen Jump stuff).

Check out the full review here!

  1. Ooh, sounds really good and I’m totally in the mood for something like this. There’s a lot of superheroine deconstruction already in American comic market, but I’m certainly interested to see a shounen treatment of it that’s probably going to be less mean-spirited than, say, Kick-Ass, w/o sacrificing potential for depth and social commentary.

  2. This manga has been interesting me for a while now. I really like the sound of the premise, and your overwhelmingly positive review of volume 1 has further convinced me to buy it. Looking forward to picking it up! 😉
