Summary:
In the world of My Hero Academia, approximately eighty percent of the population (and growing) have been born with quirks – unique superpowers. Midoriya is part of the twenty percent group – born without a quirk. He never let that destroy his dreams of becoming a hero, and look at him now!
The (sanctioned) battle between Class A and Class B is wrapping up, with only a couple more fights to go. Now it’s time for Midoriya and his team to show everyone what they’ve got. Yes, that’s right, rematch time!
Meanwhile, the Meta Liberation Army is making its first moves, which will spell trouble for our heroes.
Review:
So, as hinted at above, My Hero Academia, Vol. 23, is actually split into two plot points. The first is wrapping up the training battles, and the second delves into the Meta Liberation Army Plot. I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of opinions about all of it!
The training went a little wayward, as far as expectations go. Expectations of the class and teachers that is! I think all readers knew something would happen, especially as they had been teasing something for a while now. It was a satisfying conclusion.
The second half of this volume is admittedly the bigger risk. Not only do we jump over to the villains of the series…but we meet the villains to the villains? Yes, it’s a bit complex, hence the risk. Still, it pays off (speaking as someone rereading the series for the umpteenth time).
Highlights:
- Teenage Superheros
- Shonen
- Expansive Cast
- Intense Plots
- Hit Series
