Goodreads Synopsis:

Listen up! Follow the story of Midoriya, All Might and all the other aspiring heroes of U.A. High, but with hilarious twists! In this first volume, find out how Midoriya really trained to receive One for All and learn the U.A. students' goofy thoughts during their first practical exams...plus, All Might as Santa Claus? What are you waiting for? Start reading!!

Review:

This is a parody spin-off of MHA, just comic strips poking fun at the characters and main series. This volume pointedly follows along with the main series, and we meet the characters from the beginning, following the timeline of the main series.
There were a couple of funny moments, but mostly I just didn't get this volume. Most of it didn't hit me as funny, it was just meh, and not much of a fun read. I've heard good things about the later volumes, though, so hopefully it gets better?


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
