This was an amazing entry into the story. Opening up with the Midoriya vs Bakugo fight and it’s aftermath this volume continued to build on the people around Midoriya and how he deals with them all.

I like how this story evolved on two fronts. On the U.A. side we are introduced to the top 3 U.A. students, specifically Mirio Togata who is a big character with a unique look and quirk. The way he has learned to utilise his power is really interesting and makes for exciting combat scenes.

On the other side, the villains, we are introduced to Overhaul. He’s an interesting looking villain with a beak like a plague doctor. He isn’t with the League of Villains but represents another group. The best thing is his incredible quirk. Let’s just say it’s explosive…

As the main character, the focus should mainly be on the growth and progress of Midoriya and he definitely made some progress in this volume which is good because when there isn’t any progress I find it reduces the enjoyment of the overall volume.

As always the artwork in this volume is so good! I love the new characters and think their design was well thought out and executed.

Finally, I love how this one ended as it’s getting closer and closer to catching up with the anime plus it leaves it on a great cliffhanger.
