Goodreads Synopsis:
In the world of My Hero Academia, not everyone needs a license to fight for justice!
In a superpowered society, there is nothing ordinary about evil anymore. Heroes, trained and licensed to protect and defend the public against supervillains, stand above all the rest. However, not everyone can be an official hero, and there are those who would use their powers to serve the people without legal sanction. But do they fight for justice in the shadows or for reasons known only to themselves? Whatever they fight for, they are called…vigilantes.
Koichi Haimawari couldn’t make the cut to become an official hero, so he uses his modest Quirk to do good deeds in his spare time. Then one day, a fateful encounter with some local thugs leads him to team up with two other unlikely heroes. None of them really know what they’re doing, but they’ve got the courage—or foolishness—to try. But they soon discover fighting evil takes more than just being brave…

Review:
Given the world of this series, it makes sense that there would be
vigilantes running around. Not only because these things always
happen—though, of course. But also because there's such a strict
law system for how heroes can do things, of course people would want
to use their powers secretly. That's kind of where superheroes come
from, you know?
Koichi has a pretty low-key power in which he slides along the
ground, so he's not qualified to be a hero. But he still wants to do
good, so he helps people at night. But he gets into some trouble, and
he tends to get bullied, so he stumbles upon some allies. First being
a big, gruff older guy, and the other being a pop-idol girl who
sneaks around to give people shows around town. There's a villain
sneaking around throughout this, causing chaos for the public, with big nefarious plans.
I like the idea for this series, and the group of characters are
interesting. It's just okay so far, but I think it has potential to
be a lot of fun.
