Manga Review: My Hero Academia, Volume 11, by Kohei Horikoshi


Rating (Out of 5): ~3.5
Publisher: Shonen Jump (VIZ Media)
Release Date: February 2018
Volumes: 18+
Spoilers?: Yes.
Volume: 1. 10. 12.

Goodreads Synopsis:

Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world’s greatest hero, but greatness won’t come easy.

What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?

Bakugo’s abduction by the League of Villains was a carefully calculated move designed to draw out the Heroes—All Might in particular—and destroy them. Midoriya and his friends set out on a rescue mission that eventually pulls in not only All Might but also several other heroes! The casualties mount, until at last the mastermind of the plot appears—the only villain powerful enough to go head-to-head with All Might and possibly win…All For One!

Review:

All Might shows up to fight All For One, and it goes pretty bad. A lot of people show up, a lot of people get hurt. In a surprising turn of events, All Might's secret is revealed, and this means a change for Midoriya.
All of these attacks on the school have caused some issues, too, what with parents not wanting their children in danger--Understandable. Some security measures are taken, and now they want the students living in dorms, though the parents have to agree.
Midoriya has a really good mom, and it's nice to see how protective and caring she is here, as she struggles with allowing him to go back to the school where he keeps getting hurt.
There's a little fun chapter at the end, where the students get to hang out in their new dorms and see each other's rooms. This will definitely be starting an interesting arc next.
