A review by vernip
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, Vol. 1 by Hideyuki Furuhashi
4.0
TV Tropes defines the word Expy as "short for 'exported character.' A character from one series who is unambiguously and deliberately based on a character in another, older series. A few minor traits, such as age or hair color, may change, but there's no doubt that they are almost one and the same."
What with this being a spinoff of a much more popular Shonen Jump title, I guess they let themselves run a little wilder as each volume of Vigilantes has a fair amount of Expies in them. Either that or the creators are colossal nerds and just like throwing those references in the book.
So instead of reviews, I'll just keep a running tally of Expies per volume. Enjoy!
- Inko (Midoriya's mom)
- Luffy (with a mustache no doubt)
- Cyclops (with one eye at that!)
- Wolverine (with bokken popping out instead of metal claws)
