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?
With All Might in retirement, Endeavor takes up the mantle of the number one hero, a position he’s coveted for years. But now that he has it, he’s not entirely comfortable with the responsibilities and risks that come with it—both heroes and villains are always gunning for number one. What does the future hold for Midoriya, and what do his dreams about One For All mean?

Review:
Deku's entire goal in this volume is to make the school festival a
success—particularly, his class's concert. He wants it to be a
success for the class, and he wants Eri to see it and have a good
time.
And then he runs across this viral video villain who wants to cause
chaos for the fun of it. I was actually surprised by these characters, their relationship and the depth put into them. It was an interesting side story to note.
I love the dynamic with Eri so, so very much. Deku and Mirio are like
older brothers to her—or possibly like dads. I love it so much, and it
makes me so happy to see them with her, and to see her out and
exploring and learning things. It just warms my heart.
In the second half of the volume, we see an adult villain fight, with
a very big surprise for Todoroki. I wasn't expecting this, and the
missed potential in that relationship makes me sad for him.
This series has gotten quite intense at this point. I'm definitely
hooked into the series at this point.
