Actual rating 3.6 stars.
I started this when I needed a bit of a laugh.
These shorts aren’t generally ‘ha ha’ funny but it was cool to see what happened in the main manga and it going in a slightly weird direction.
There were also stories celebrating holidays like Christmas and Valentine’s Day!
Not sure how much of this is actually canon but there were a few moments that I thought could be.
I was thinking how the heck would they make the attack of USJ funny but it was actually done pretty well!
Then there were the side stories…
One had the characters gender-swapped! That one was my favourite.
Plus even some stories based on the creator's real life!
While this definitely isn’t required reading, I’ll probably pick up the next volume. Especially when I need something to smile at.

I really like My Hero Academia series, so I was curious to look at this one. Unfortunately this wasn't that good at all! This more or less recall the same event at the first few books of the collection, but in a more cartoonist take and with an humor tons that wasn't that good for me. Maybe a younger public would enjoy it, but it just feel too light, too easy in the humor style for me to really enjoy this one. I won't continue with this collection. It just don't bring anything new to the series and the humor wasn't for me!

This is a hard one to rate. On one hand, it is pretty much a shot for shot recap of the main manga. Like, actually dialogue and art from that manga is in here. I don’t know if there were enough added scenes to make this a recommend.
It’s insane! For better and for worse in some cases. The gag about Midoriya knowing way too much about Bakugo, Jairo’s sarcastic commentary and the jokes about Iida taking everything too seriously did make me laugh. On the other hand, there was more of Mineta being a downright creep and grown villains perving on Momo, which I didn’t like. Although, I did get Jiro planning Mineta’s murder and that was cool.
It’s a mixed bag. I don’t think I’d buy it but it was fine to read on the SJ app.

A fun gag manga. Nothing crazy, but the characters are just as fun as always.

My hero academia est un de mes mangas préférés. J’aime tant cet univers, tout ces personnages etc. Vraiment ce manga est dans mon top 5 et c’est un manga cher à mon coeur. Lorsque j’ai vu cette sortie annoncée j’était plutôt contente. Lorsque j’aime un manga, je ne sais pas vous, mais moi personnellement j’aime beaucoup avoir des spin off et compagnie. Bon ici ce n’est pas un spin off, loin de là même. Il s’agit d’une parodie reprenant l’histoire du manga principal. J’avais un peu peur avant de me plonger dans ma lecture et malheureusement mes craintes se sont avérées vraies..
Je ne suis pas contre les parodies des grandes histoires ou quoi mais à chaque fois ça ne passe malheureusement pas avec moi. Niveau humour je ne suis pas difficile, je dois même avouer que je suis le genre de personne qui peut rigoler pour un rien tout le temps et pourtant ici je n’ai pas réussi à accrocher. Au début ça allait, je trouvais ça assez drôle, c’était plaisant. Mais en vérité, plus j’avançais moins ça me plaisait. C’était un peu trop en fait. Le genre d’humour un peu lourd qui marche au début mais qui à force ça s’essouffle..
J’ai eu du mal à accrocher également à la mise en page. J’ai trouvé que parfois c’était assez chargé et ça rendait la lecture un peu difficile par moment. J’ai décroché plus d’une fois en faisant des pauses avant de reprendre. Pourtant l’idée n’est pas mauvaise en elle même, je veux dire reprendre l’histoire d’un manga et ajouter le côté humour c’est pas mal. J’ai déjà eu le même sentiment lorsque j’ai lu la parodie de The promised neverland, j’avais aimé au début et puis j’avançais, plus je déchantais. Je ne dis pas que c’est mauvais, loin de là, mais il faut accroché à ce style de base je pense. Mais ce genre de manga peut vraiment en intéresser plus d’un.
Ce premier tome reprend l’histoire du manga principale dans les grandes lignes. Beaucoup d’humour, bon en même temps c’est une parodie c’est logique. Mais un humour qui peut parfois ne pas plaire ou devenir lourd. La mise en page m’a gêné, je la trouve un peu chargée et parfois c’est un peu gênant. Mais malgré ces points qui m’ont un peu dérangés, il n’y a pas que du mauvais dans ce manga. L’idée est sympa et puis ça apporte un petit truc en plus à l’histoire principale, on la voit d’un oeil nouveau. Je ne sais pas si je lirais la suite par contre, on verra ça..

Entertaining accompaniment to MHA. It describes itself as the equivalent of the bloopers shown during movie credits and that is a fitting description. The art style is also very cute. Recommended for all MHA fans.

Extrait :
Petit spin off de My Hero Academia que je me décide enfin à commencer. La série ayant en plus que cinq volumes au total, c’est l’occasion de finir une série en plus. Non, je n’essaie pas d’éloigner le dénouement de l’intrigue principale en lisant les spins off, je ne vois pas du tout pourquoi vous pensez à ça ! Pour en revenir à ce titre, je me demandais pourquoi personne n’en parlait réellement et après avoir lu le premier tome, je ne comprends toujours pas…
Le seul retour que j’ai lu, le lecteur a littéralement crié que c’était nul. Celui-ci n’a visiblement pas lu le synopsis avant d’acheter le tome, puisque c’est indiqué noir sur blanc qu’il s’agit d’un spin off parodique. Qui dit parodique, dit reprise de l’histoire originale en version gag, tout simplement. Donc évidemment, il n’y a rien de nouveau sous le soleil, quoi que… Je vois bien certaines des scènes dans l’intrigue principale aussi. Ainsi, mais là, c’est mon avis personnel, je ne pense pas qu’il faille juger cette série comme on juge n’importe quel titre. Après tout, comme toutes les séries un peu gag (genre la voie du tablier par exemple), on ne peut pas se fier à un barème équivalent à un titre normal. Ce genre de titre sont pour moi des bonus dont le seul but est de faire passer un bon moment, en posant son cerveau et en rigolant. Pour ma part, j’ai d’ailleurs savourée ma lecture sur plusieurs jours. Je comprends par contre, qu’on puisse se demander l’utilité de sortir ce genre de scènes en séries alors que l’on pourrait les intégrer en fin de tome sur la série principale. Alors, dans le cas présent ce n’est pas comme pour Nobles Paysans (qui, il me semble, était dans les FMA). L’auteur est différent, il s’agit de Hirofumi Neda et non de Horikoshi. D’ailleurs, petite information comme ça, la parodie est le seul genre qui peut être utilisé par n’importe qui, sur n’importe quelle œuvre sous droit d’auteur. C’est pour cela que l’on voit la BD Bloody Harry par rapport à Harry Potter par exemple, c’est une parodie, donc légal. Ma question maintenant, c’est est-ce qu’il est possible de ressortir un titre parodique sur MHA alors que celle-ci existe, bonne question… Rien n’est spécifié, donc je suppose que cela reste possible, tant que les gags s’éloignent de ceux présents dans ce titre.
Ce ne sont pas uniquement les moments phares de la série qui sont repris, mais réellement des situations qui peuvent donner lieu à tout autre chose. Il faut avoir un esprit assez imaginatif pour penser à des scènes qui se dérouleraient autrement et avec humour. Parfois, c’est même une suite éventuelle à la scène en question qui est proposée. Pareillement, les tics d’une personne sont également mis à contribution, que ce soit la passion pour les héros d’Izuku ou le côté pervers d’une certaine grappe de raisin… La tête emblématique d’All Might est souvent mise à contribution aussi, tout comme le fait qu’il a tendance à être vite dissipé. Le coup d’Izuku tellement crédule enfant si bien qu’il commande tout ce qui est publicité autour des vidéos d’All Might. Autres scènes que j’ai adoré, c’est durant le premier entraînement, où deux élèves font les vilains et les deux autres les héros… Ceux qui ne sont pas sur le terrain regardent via un écran ce qu’il se passe, mais il n’y a pas de son… Du coup certains en profitent pour faire les voix et dire n’importe quoi. Très franchement, ce spin off me fait voir la série sous un autre jour. Je me rends compte que malgré ses instants de comédies, ceux-ci ne sont pas poussés non plus trop loin la plupart du temps. Sans doute pour rendre le changement d’ambiance plus fluide, car celle-ci s’assombrie réellement au fur et à mesure que l’on avance. Je dirais même que dès le SCA, l’innocence des élèves c’est un peu brisé. Eux ne le pensaient sans doute pas, mais nous lecteurs, savions qu’à partir de cet instant, leurs années d’études allaient être grandement chamboulées.

I read My Hero Academia: Smash Vol. 1 through VIZ Media: Shonen Jump.
My Hero Academia: Smash is a series intent on retelling the original series that we love so much (My Hero Academia, in case that wasn't painfully obvious), but with a more...humorous twist. If you haven't read the original series, a lot of what happens here probably won't make a lot of sense.
Likewise, if you don't want to see MHA without it's a more serious edge...this probably isn't the series for you. It's a little bit quirky, and a whole lot crazy. Not exactly the series that caught our attention, to put it mildly.
My Hero Academia: Smash Vol. 1 is basically a chaotic run of the introductory arcs for MHA. It covers all of the basics – Deku meeting All Might, entrance exams, everything like that. There is one thing that makes the volume stand out from the original however...it is insane.
I mean that in the best way possible, of course. It's a quirky and playful version of MHA, which can be so much fun. Especially if you're in the right mood for it. Basically, it's a comical retelling of the series thus far, which is fine (if you go into the series expecting that).
Personally, I enjoyed the moments that went off script a bit more. The outtakes and added humor that really made it all stand out. Though I should probably warn you that there's a heavy dose of fan service to be found in here as well, so take that however you like.
On the whole, My Hero Academia: Smash Vol. 1 was everything it promised to be. It was funny and different, a nice change of pace, especially considering how heavy the original series can get at times.

This book is not for everyone. It is for fans of the main My Hero Academia series who want to read silly parodies of some of the stories they've been reading, or weird "what if" revisions of some of the characters and their interactions.
This kind of thing has been around in manga for a long time, and in a few cases the oddball versions are better than the original. That is not the case in this series, but the Smash 4-panel comics are mostly very funny IF you know what they're spoofing. If you haven't read the original series yet, then this book shouldn't be on your list. It would consist of confusing spoilers rather than gags.
That said, in a few cases there are legitimate things brought up about the uses of super powers in the main series...like which pairings of characters would really be safe to have working together in combat, or what some potentially dangerous uses of powers might be. So, it's not JUST goofy stuff. The manga's creator mentions thinking of it like "outtakes" from a movie or TV show, the stuff that normally gets left on the cutting room floor. Think of it like that, and enjoy.

The lastest spinoff of hit manga and anime My Hero Academia to be translated into English by Caleb Cook has finally hit shelves. My Hero Academia: Smash!!, Vol. 1 is created by Hirofumi Neda and Kohei Horikoshi. Unlike the series proper or other spinoff, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes by Hideyuki Furuhashi and Betten Court, this manga is a humorous four panel adaptation. Attention is divided between humorous takes on major story beats and some of the quieter moments in between.
This is a proper 4-koma(four panel) manga. Each comedic strip consists of four panels running vertically down the page. Scenes are short, sweet, and rather to the point. However, these are grouped into chapters which create larger scenes or span the course of some major arcs within the first few volumes of the manga (or the first season of the anime).
As with anything comedic, the humor can be rather subjective to the reader. By and large, the jokes land fairly well. However, the first half of the manga can be a bit hit or miss. The second half feels much more consistent in tone, and I found it much easier to get through. Some of the panels in this section are quite memorable, downright laugh out loud funny. If you are finding this manga difficult to get through, I’d suggest skimming part of the second half. There could be some hidden gems in there you’d enjoy.
While My Hero Academia: Smash!!, Vol. 1 by Hirofumi Neda and Kohei Horikoshi didn’t prove to be quite as memorable as most of the other My Hero Academia spinoffs, I did enjoy it. I do want to see what direction further manga in this series take. If you like My Hero Academia this probably something you’ll want to pick up.

Can’t lie I forgot I was reading this, it was cute and basically runs through the Manga in less detail yet more detail depending on the scene.
It basically seems like he’s taking the piss out of his own creation (the normal MHA manga) by drawing them small and mini and it’s just good for if you need a run down of what happened in the first few. Definitely won’t be reading the next few for a while until I’ve finished the core Manga series just as it doesn’t feel right as I’ve now read further into the series via Smash than I have the actual series that’s been sat on my shelf collecting dust.
But yes it was cute despite the fact that I forgot it was here on my good reads and that I was reading it lol.

This spin-off is significantly more raunchy than the original source material to the point of being uncomfortable for me to read. If you think Mineta is bad already, he is so much worse in this. The chibi style used is oddly proportioned, even for chibis, and the overall art style sucks all of the charm and beauty out of the original character designs. Only managed to read about a third of it before giving up. It is distinctly not funny and ugly to look at. There is an incredibly cute illustration from Horikoshi at the back which redeems it somewhat.

This is a gag manga retelling of the MHA story by one of the original collaborators. It follows the core plot, but recreates scenes through humorous 4 panel comics. The humor is referred to by the author as more lewd and dirty than the humor in the original story, but I didn't think it was all that wild. Of course Mineta and Mt. Lady play prominent roles. Not every comic was a hit, but it was a fun and silly way to revisit a story I enjoy. Definitely read the originals first if you're hoping to fully grasp the plot.

Eh. It's okay.
I like a lot of the smaller characters in MHA and I thought the school setting would work for gag manga, but this is super set on following the plot of the main story and only really got me like twice? I really can't recommend it except to superfans who mistakenly like Mineta.
Also, as per usual, needs more Froppy. Froppy spinoff please. Or maybe get her involved with the Vigilantes kids? I like them too, and I bet they'd appreciate the best girl.

Honestly, it started out... bad. Especially when parodying direct scenes out of the original comic. However, with more "behind the scenes" gags, it picked up a lot, and I did audibly chuckle several times by the end. I most enjoyed when the comics played off of the characters' personalities.
I also liked recognizing the minor villains who come back around, like hedgehog guy from Vigilantes. (I think he's in the original series a bit, too?)

Eh. This was kind of a slog to read. It's a collection of comic strips that mostly re-tell the story of the manga in an outtake/"humorous" way. "Humorous", because to me, most of the gags weren't that funny or didn't land at all. It was nice in a fanservice kind of way, but it probably would have worked better if they'd just put some of the strips after each of the actual chapters (and scrapped most of the rest). 2.5 stars

Je ne comptais pas le lire au départ, mais je me suis finalement lancée étant donné qu'il se trouvait dans le coffret collector. J'avais peur que ce soit juste des moments gag désordonnés. Finalement, cela suit toute la première partie du manga, comme une sorte de bêtisier des grands moments. Donc, d'un côté, j'ai été positivement surprise. Mais voilà, cela reste des gags, certains sont drôles, d'autres pas. C'est très inégal.

Short, funny, non-canon comic strips. Kind of like cotton candy for your brain. Not good necessarily, but you can enjoy it. I probably won't read more, unless I really just want a very fast, disappear-from-my-brain-as-quickly-as-I-read-it kind of book. Still, for funny little what-ifs, they weren't bad.

This is just retelling (more or less) the main My Hero Academia story. But as if the story was published in the old school daily 3 panel American Newspaper Comics style. The stories while being retold are not an improvement to the story and most are not even funny. Did these lose something in translation?

Como fan de bnha debía leer esto y que maravilla los paneles en los que planean el asesinato de mineta o le dan su merecido por ser un pervertido 🎶 Y lo que más me gustó fue ver nuevos aspectos del manga (que aún no leí y que deberia). Algunos de ellos me hicieron mucha gracia como Deku sabiendo demasiadas cosas del bebote de bakugou

It’s a silly, slightly raunchy manga that covers the beginning up until the USJ incident.
I don’t like most of the jokes that are in it, but it is interesting to see what neda focuses on when it comes to the important events in the series.
And I actually do like seeing a different side to the beloved characters. Will read the remaining 4 volumes.

I wasn’t exactly sure what this was gonna be going into it but I found this to be a bit too weird for me. Sure, there were some good parts here and there but the jokes were mostly odd and I found the style I had to read it in to be a little draining and I just personally didn’t find myself enjoying this much, will definitely be sticking with the regular MHA mangas in future.
