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?
The Hassaikai crime gang, led by the young boss Chisaki, has been working on a plan to distribute a Quirk-destroying drug. The key to this evil scheme is the young girl Eri, held prisoner in Chisaki’s hideout. Nighteye asks other heroes to form a team to launch a rescue attempt—and the students of Class 1-A are going into the lion’s den with them! But Nighteye, who can see the future, refuses to look at the fates of anyone going on the mission…

Review:
They're preparing for the sting, and then it's time. Only, there's
more people on the Hassaikai team than they thought, and they seem pretty prepared for
the heroes. They split up to take care of different groups of
villains, and to try to catch up with Chisaki and save Emi.
I'm still surprised by how much time Kirishima is given. I've never
thought too much of him, but he's working hard to compete with these
villains, and he's doing pretty good. The team he's on, too, work
together well. We get some extra backstory on them here, which I suppose helps.
We don't see much of Deku in this volume, but I hope we'll get more
in the next one. He's trying to catch up with Chisaki, and he's
determined to save Emi. Of course, he's getting stalled by Toga, yet
again. I don't like this girl, at all.
This is shaping up to be a pretty big fight, strewn about and with a
lot of very different powers. I'm intrigued, but I also really want
to get to the main fight.
