One of my favorite manga/animes ever (comfort anime). It starts out slow but then it just takes off without looking back. You fall in love with all these characters and can see yourself in them whether its ambition or problems. So much you can do with this concept and they are doing great so far. First few seasons and books are gonna be mostly lighthearted basic fights and issues but it really takes off and gets dark more on. Don't get too attached to characters thats what I did :( No, but really its so diverse in storyline and you really get into it. Lots of fun :)

A solid set-up for a manga series - I might not continue with it immediately, but I'm intrigued enough that I can see myself continuing in the future! I'm very confused however as to why BakuDeku is such a popular ship - Bakugo is so awful to Izuku in this volume?? (I'm guessing that dynamic will probably change over time though)

A pretty entertaining introduction to the series! My favorite so far is Ochaco for sure.

So this is my first ever foray into manga (and I've never watched anime so this is really completely new for me) and I'd call it a success! I love superheroes and while I'm not particularly attached to Deku, I really enjoyed the plot and the world. There really aren't enough superhero books in the world, and I'm a sucker for that content, so this was a good time all around.
