僕のヒーローアカデミア [Boku no Hero Academia] #7
My Hero Academia, Vol. 7
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?
Midoriya has learned a few tricks from Gran Torino, but some things just have to be experienced to be understood. Even though he’s not ready, when the League of Villains attacks in the town of Hosu, Midoriya rushes to help Ida, who is engaged in a life-or-death struggle with Hero Killer Stain. Stain has some very particular ideas about heroes and their place in society—and he means to purge every hero he can find!

July 23, 2018It was nice getting a bit more back story on All Might! Though parts of his past have still yet to be revealed. I'm also loving seeing all the characters grow in their abilities. Overall another solid volume!

Resolución de la batalla contra Stain.
Más villanos a futuro por aparecer en la Alianza de Villanos.
Se cuenta más sobre One for All y el All for One.
💪Y más entrenamiento para los chicos. Con el mi3rdecill@ de Bakugo que no colabora ni un poco. Todo hay que decirlo.

The story is slowly taking a darker turn. I like it. Well i am intrigued now so i'll have to keep reading it :)

Actual rating 3.8 stars.
About time I started this manga back up!
I’m so glad I watched the anime to re-familiarise myself with this world and the characters. Though, there were of course some variations.
This volume included the conclusion to the Hero Killer arc.
I’m not sure how I feel about that ending. Stain had fight still left in him but then he just stopped? There’s an explanation however, I felt a little unsatisfied.
I really like that experience allowed Ida, Todoroki and Midoriya to become closer.
Really great moment when Todoroki (kind of unnecessarily) stood up for them.
Back to normal with the students' internships over. Now it's final exam time!
Before that though, we learn more about when society was first introduced to Quirks and how one man took advantage of the chaos. Plus the origins of what is to be known as ‘One for All’!
I wanted to know more about the two brothers. Hopefully we get more information later on.
The final exams consisted of Class 1-A going up against their teachers!
Midoriya and Bakugo are paired up. Simply because they’re on such bad terms…
The teacher they’re up against… All-Might of course!
This volume is called Katsuki Bakugo: Origin but it’s only a very brief flashback into Bakugo’s childhood and it doesn’t explain why he’s so insistent on being the best. All we learn is he once admired All Might.
That cliffhanger though!
I forgot how good the art is! The splash page with Stain, Ida and Midoriya was amazing. So many details!

Ok, finally reached a volume I didn't love. I'm also worried that a summer camp arc is coming up and I hope it's not predictable and/or boring. And why was it so easy to capture the Hero Killer? I thought for sure he'd last longer. 😕
3.5 but I can't round up because I found parts of this slightly snooze-inducing. I might take a break and read something else for a bit and come back to this series later.

Solita premessa: il mio giudizio potrebbe essere in parte condizionato dal fatto che abbia visto prima l'anime e solo in seguito letto in manga.
Deludente. Lo sviluppo della trama è deludente. E il fatto che le azioni scene più interessanti siano spezzate tra un volume e l'altro non aiuta a viverle al meglio.

Another perfectly solid volume that dishes out some more backstory for a couple of characters. As a whole, it’s a slower book, but what story there was was still pretty exciting, and the ending was a tease, as usual.

Here are the highlights:
Final exams!!!
Students vs teachers battles!!! 👊🏼
THE PRINCIPAL IS A SAVAGE
Uraraka likes Midoriya *fake exaggerated gasp*
GRAPE JUICE KICKS A S S
Katsuki & Deku vs All Might!!!!
(Character development status: skyrocketing)
Bonus: a few things about the origin of one-for-all get explained

Wow Bakugo's a real jerk in this volume, but yeah most of this volume was focused on Ida and Stain instead of Bakugo's origin. It starts getting into him and his insecurity towards the end. I think Bakugo will be an interesting character the further I read, but he still just doesn't jump out to me. I do really love these tests and battles when the kids team up and use their quirks together. It's fun.
*Original Review 11/13/2018*
It says this is Bakugo's origin story, but it's not mentioned until the very last chapter of the book??
I really like Kohei Horikoshi as an author after reading his little side notes. He really likes to delve deeper into his characters and come up with backstories even for super minor characters. I really like this series and I'm glad I finally decided to give it a chance. ♥️

the first part was really boring.
the second when they start the training that puts the professors against the students, that part was pure fire. especially the very last panel. FIREEEE
I also love the sneak peak about bakugo's childhood and his admiration for all might, adding depth to his character.

Love the originality behind the latest exam and how each battle has a purpose. It's nice that they give us a bit more insight into the mysterious backstory of All Might and further develop some of these characters with a serious tone.

My face after I finished reading this volume:
I am so angry right now. Those assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS???? THEY ENDED THE VOLUME ON THE BIGGEST FRICKEN CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But yenno other than that this was a great volume, like always. The last chapter is titled “Katsuki Bakugo: Origin” but it didn’t seem much like an origin to me, but whatever. What’s actually going on is still pretty cool.
We got some actual backstory on the origins of One For All which was cool. We got lots of hints about things to come, like how things are going to go downtown and the Villain’s League/Association/Whatever-it’s-called is going to start wreaking havoc, so that’s going to be fun. This series has a good balance of hardcore high-stakes fights, humourous moments, and laid back scenes.
Is so good. So very good. But I’m still mad about how the volume ended. So cruel. QnQ

Binge-watching 30 episodes of the anime and then having to abruptly stop to avoid spoilers was a real burr up the proverbial ass! And so… I read on. Gladly, too. I love this series!

After facing the notorious Hero Killer, Midoriya and others learn that being a hero also comes with the law trying to stop you and as their internships come to a end, their next lesson include a tag team battle against a hero and Midoriya’s unsurprisingly paired with giant hothead Bakugo. A- (91%/Excellent)

Solid character development.
World: Solid art and strong world building that loves the story forward. The follow up of the Stain arc which give us a lot of character world building pieces.
Story: The action is less until the exams but wow the quiet moments were great. It's a bit different to the show and I like it. The time we get with characters is needed. I really also enjoyed the pacing and the lighter tone to allow for readers to breath.
Characters: Great depth and new info for All Might and Deku but not just that. Bakugo gets some depth but that still doesn't make me like him all that much. Just strong moments for characters throughout.
Solid.
Onward to the next book!

4,5/5. Still very good! Lot of action, mostly in school, but also a bit of villain fighting. Some characters keep getting stronger, deeper, some less present in this one too. A good continuation!

What can I say? I follow this manga and I love it!

Bakugo needs to chill and just work with Deku already lol. Can’t wait to see more of this back story.
July 31, 2021
Ce tome est comme les précédent très drôle (le passage avec bakugo chez best jeanist m'a fait hurler), on y apprend aussi l'origine du one for all et donc de son associé le all for one, j'aime beaucoup le fait que l'un soit dérivé de l'autre.
Comme toujours, le passage à la fin du combat avec Bakugo et Deku est plein d'émotions.

Some of the darker stuff is getting revealed. The origins of the One-For-All talent and the All-For-One, especially.
What I thought was most interesting was the final exam time: All-Might against the worst duo. Too funny.

I really like the cover. Angry Bakugo is the only kind of Bakugo really.
Anyway, it was thrilling to see the Student-Heroes get some real life experience with their internships and facing-off against the Hero-Killer Stain. Thrilling with a capital 'T'.

Missed them. Love seeing some more action. And the way he understands his power about more… love it.
Ofcourse I would recommend you to atleast to give the anime a try but the manga is great as well.

The first time I watched the anime, I found Bakugo's origin episode to be a bit underwhelming. But when I rewatched it, my brother pointed out a different way of interpreting the episode that is super simple but adds a completely new layer to it -- the flashbacks aren't the point.
The "origin" stories of the characters aren't to show how they got to where they are now -- each "origin" episode is the character's starting line for who they'll become.
And that makes this volume -- specifically the last issue -- so brilliant.
I feel a bit stupid for not noticing this before, since it seems super obvious now, but anyways. I love it.
