It's a collection of 'four panels' comedy spinning off from the My Hero Academia series. There are a lot of jokes about the Class 1A students' internship and their school life. Even Stain the Hero Killer also got some jokes too. Hehehe.
(1) The short story I like most so far, is the story about all of the Class 1A students got de-aged by a villain and Izuku has to look after them all. Katsuki became a cute little boy, plus I absolutely love the artwork with all those mini-Class A students and a long-suffering Deku as well. LOL
(2) The short story about Stain being an All Might's fanboy is also amazing!
(3) Like the stories about the Class 1A students' internship!
(4) and then we see Midnight acting out her darkest fantasy with a bunch of robots, hehehe. Much to Eraser's chargin. LOL
(5) 1A took care of fake babies! Hehehe
(6) The four-panels version of the sport festival!! LOL
It's a good collection of funny short stories, All Might also brings up some questionable teaching methods as well, I LOL so hard.

This was kinda amusing!
The art and some of the jokes treated the female characters worse than the main comic, unfortunately. It’s bad enough there are so many comments and too much focus on Momo’s body in the main comic, this was worse. I would’ve enjoyed the book a lot more if it weren’t for those jokes, the ones about Mt Lady and Midnight; and Jiro being “jealous” of the other girls’ bodies. 😪
Anyway, I liked a few jokes in here.

I found this book to be pretty freakin funny, and I was laughing at things like Bakugo v. Kirishima, where Kirishima eventually shrank into a tiny version of himself because of Bakugo's blasts, or when Uraraka took All Might's weird robo-baby assignment way too seriously, or the play that Class 1-A set up. For the most part I enjoyed comics(?) featuring Ojiro, Yaoyorozu, Todoroki, and Shinso wondering how exactly he lost to the morons in 1-A.
Also this volume featured Endeavor doing things he would never do, which makes it all the better seeing him trying to be the best role model while Todoroki is begrudging at best. Quality content.

I read My Hero Academia: Smash Vol. 2 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.
Once again we're diving back into the parody world of MHA in My Hero Academia: Smash Vol. 2. This time around we're moving forward to the UA Sports Festival, which is arguably where the series started getting really intense.
I do feel like this volume did less direct following of the original script and more comical rewrites throughout. For example, the Sports Festival is a bit more literal, with a baseball game getting thrown into the mix (rather than competition and series of battles).
There were more insane moments and elements strewn around too, none of which actually happened in the original. I don't actually think that's a bad thing – I appreciate that they took the series in a different direction. The first volume was fun, but it also felt like too much rehashing at points.
That was not the case this time around. It was all insane all the time, which is exactly what I wanted from Smash! Oh! Did I mention that Stain is in this volume as well? So if you're curious about how he looks through a more comical lens, now is the time to check this series out.
Once again I found myself enjoying My Hero Academia: Smash Vol. 2. I would argue that this was better than the first volume, so if you're on the fence, maybe just try jumping in at this point. It couldn't hurt!

I actually really liked this volume from the first one. It focused on the sports festival, and the internship arc with random and hilarious events in between.
I found myself frequently laughing at the randomness that occurred. Any scene with Shoto and Shinsou were the best. The relay race in the sports festival was my favorite (especially the mine scene with bakugou lmao!) the silly tropes given to each character are definitely growing on me.

Simple silly what-ifs with the MHA characters. Sometimes the stories are a little too silly, but overall, if you want some "cotton candy for your brain," reading, this fits the bill and will at least give you a few chuckles.

Better than the first volume, mostly because it deviates more from the original storyline and brings a bit more of its own flavour into the mix. Some of the jokes are still hit or miss and I'm not overly fond of the drawings. They look a bit amateurish imho.

This volume has more original content and not just copying the original Manga. The baseball bit was actually funny. Still 3 panel newspaper style comic, think Garfield.

Mostly funny, but some stuff was really weird.

I love a good parody but some of the parts were kind of odd to me. Other than that it was a great laugh.
August 4, 2023
This was slightly more tolerable than the first volume but still, every day I suffer. At least this one had some stories with Tsuyu's middle school friend Mongoose, which was cute.
August 25, 2024
The jokes about Todoroki's daddy issues and Hero Killer Stain being chronically online were quite funny
