Synopsis: The story is set in the modern day, except people with special powers have become commonplace throughout the world. A boy named Izuku Midoriya has no powers, but he still dreams. Chapter 1 - www.batoto.net/read/_/266046/boku-no-hero-academia_ch1_by_fallen-angels/3This chapter got ranked 5th in the ToC so that's a good sign that the series might stick around for a while. The author's previosu work was Sensei no Barrage

chapter 8 - mangafox.me/manga/boku_no_hero_academia/c008/3.htmlwell so far so good, I'm Glad that Izuki got a power cause this series woulda been tough to follow if he had stayed powerless.
I really can't stand his prick of school mate, what kind of "hero" is he supposed to be trying to be anyway, he fails at it miserably, super villain in the making, hope Izuki punches his head off.

Finally caught up with this series.
Spoiler free quick review. I really, really like this manga. I love how the main character has to work for his power, unlike many shonen where the power is just given willy nilly. It makes his victories feel so much more organic.
All Might is probably my favorite character so far. I absolutely adore both of his designs. It's quite rare to see something like that in Japanese comics, though at least his hair is still very eastern, haha.
I hope to see more from this series. I don't want to hype it like many have by saying it could be the next Naruto. I just hope it has time to shine to be its own, wonderful series.

Volume 1 sold out with 75,000 copies in about a day making it the 3rd highest shonen jump volume 1 debut since 2008, beaten only by Bakuman and Assassination Classroom so it's debut volume has done better than Toriko, Nisekoi, Soma, Beelzebub, Nurarihyon, Haikyuu and Kuroko no Basket. Add to that the TOC ratings are always high making the top 5 on many occasions and this shows that this manga is going nowhere any time soon, so it will have plenty of time to shine.

I'm extremely worried that this series is getting way too hyped. Attack on Titan at least had a little obscurity before getting pushed to the spotlight. I'll definitely support this series as it comes out (since American OP releases are way too infrequent), but I hope that the sudden popularity doesn't get the best of it.

chapter 13 - mangafox.me/manga/boku_no_hero_academia/c013/4.htmlwell that's a lot of bad guys lol, now I see why this is getting Naruto comparisons, kids suddenly thrown into a situation that they cannot possibly handle, Wonder if Eraser dude or black hole guy will die saving them or if All Might will turn up and kick everyone's ass but he said he's getting weaker so....maybe this manga is gonna have a quick ending and the bad guys win lol, nah this is shonen jump lol Izuki will save the day somehow

Yeah, I'm surprised by the quick win as well. Overall, it was an excellent fight, though I would have loved to see more from the frog girl. Either way, great chapter and I can't wait to read more.

DAAAAAAYUM.
Yeah, I have to agree, Morc. I have no idea what was going on with that sequence. Everything else up until this point has been really solid so when that came out of nowhere, I was like... what? I think that All Might might be getting his ass kicked soon. T.T
