Synopsis

One day, a four-year-old boy came to a sudden realization: the world is not fair. Eighty percent of the world's population wield special abilities, known as "quirks," which have given many the power to make their childhood dreams of becoming a superhero a reality. Unfortunately, Izuku Midoriya was one of the few born without a quirk, suffering from discrimination because of it. Yet, he refuses to give up on his dream of becoming a hero; determined to do the impossible, Izuku sets his sights on the elite hero training academy, UA High.

However, everything changes after a chance meeting with the number one hero and Izuku's idol, All Might. Discovering that his dream is not a dead end, the powerless boy undergoes special training, working harder than ever before. Eventually, this leads to him inheriting All Might's power, and with his newfound abilities, gets into his school of choice, beginning his grueling journey to become the successor of the best hero on the planet.

There's something to be said about watching a series you've grown up with end. It's a cathartic moment that almost feels like closing a chapter of your life. I have kept up with this series for nearly a decade and it contains some of my favorite moments in the medium. The emotions, the messages, I have found myself thinking about the sheer heart this story has when it comes to looking at it as a whole. While it's not without flaws, particularly the latter half's pacing, throughout its entirety there are times it has me feeling something seldom like many other media.

The ending specifically, I've ...

The pacing is a little wonky in places, though ...

Art: the art of this manga begins with a cartoony style but goes through a substantial upgrade early on to become one of the best ever in WSJ, although it at times feels overly blocky and sterile. Over time it becomes more detail heavy and choppy and feels like less a manga and more a series of illustrations each seeking to be as impactful as possible, the fights scenes may be confusing for some readers especially later on due to the unorthodox paneling.

Plot: The plot starts out as the epitome of a trope heavy shonen story done right, later devolves into periods that drag endlessly, ...
