My Hero Academic: Team-Up Missions, Volume 1 is a fantastic, unique spin-off of My Hero Academia!
If you wanted cool team ups on the side then this book is for you! It's a fast paced, great selection of stories and team ups that didn't happen in the original series. I found it to be a little difficult to jump into because I haven't read all of the original manga. I would recommend doing that as I think it would help. I felt very lost! I still think this is an excellent idea to do some storylines not in the original manga.
I did like that each story was like a one shot where they are all separate from each other bu in the same universe. That was nice! It makes reading it easier.
Overall, this is a great manga! You'll love it if you like superheroes and you will definitely love it if you read the original manga series.
Four out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and VIZ for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
Absolutely adorable!!! It was great to read some fluffy side stories, especially with how dark the main manga has been recently. Plus seeing more of Tamaki, Mirko, Hawks, and Fat Gum was fantastic!

🇬🇧. / 🇺🇸 (& MORE) VERSION : My brother lent me this little bonus book of My Hero Academia, it’s not written or drawn by Kohei Horikoshi but I thought it might be nice. It was but so much less, so much less than the original saga that in the end, I don’t see much interest, even for the fans.. To rent at the library instead of maybe buying...
VERSION 🇷🇴 /🇫🇷 & MORE : Mon frère m'avait prêté ce petit livre bonus de My Hero Academia, ce n'est pas écrit ni dessiné par Kohei Horikoshi mais je me suis dit que ça pourrait être sympa. Ça l'a été mais tellement moins, tellement tellement moins que la saga originale que au final, je n'y vois pas beaucoup d'intérêt, même pour les fans.. À louer à la bibliothèque au lieu d'acheter peut-être...
Cute. I just wish the stories were a little longer (I know, I know that isn't what "short" means). But the stories with Mirko and Hawks felt a little rushed. The story with Fat Gum and Amajiki felt like the perfect length and it was super cute to boot.
The stories are not bad. Though despite what the description of this manga says, there is only one student not from UA in this collection. The student not from UA is in the Support Section without powers. I kind of feel robbed because this volume promised that there was no telling who might be in these team ups. But it is just UA students and mostly just main characters from class 1A. But like I say not bad but negative stars for deceptive book blurb.
My. Jam! I'm so happy! This is exactly the sort of content I want from My Hero Academia. The kids doing their thing in low stakes environments, the pros being cool and supportive... it's all so good!
I received a copy of My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions Vol. 1 in exchange for a fair and honest review.
My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions Vol. 1 is exactly what it promises to be: an entertaining series of team-ups following our favorite heroes in training. Shorts like these help to flesh out the series just a little bit more, providing more insight into their experience and training.
It makes sense. There's no way we've seen all of the classes that U.A. High School puts their students through. Especially not Class 1A, who has been through so much, and thus pushed harder than ever before.
Team-Up Missions Vol. 1 portrays Midoriya's first big team-up mission, alongside several other highly entertaining events. Whatever the focus may be on Deku, plenty of other characters get a chance to shine over the course as well. Some of whom were a major surprise – in the best of ways.
Each team-up reads more like a one-shot, with no real need to be concerned about where they start or end. The goal is simply to show more of their training – and all of the chaos and fun that can be had along the way!
My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions is going to be a perfect read for all of the MHA fans out there – trust me on that one! Actually, I can't help but hope that some of these events will appear in the anime, even if only as filler. I'll take it!
Such fun! It’s good to see these characters in more lighthearted situations compared to the main series, plus it’s just fun to see different characters thrust into missions together and seeing how it all turns out!
My favorites were the poison gas villain one, Deku and Bakugo working with Hawks, and the “Prince Charming” one with Ida and Yaoyorozu, though they were all fun. The writing did feel a little stiff and the characters were slightly “off” a few times, but I’m sure it’s just because it’s the mangaka’s first volume with these characters and this will get better as the series progresses.
While not nearly as good as the main series, I enjoyed this volume and am interested to see what Volume Two has in store and which characters get thrown together next!
Violence: injuries and blood (PG); fighting with weapons, superpowers, and hand to hand (PG); a guy releases a poisonous gas fog; a rock lands on a character
Sexual: a teen guy is a pervert; a girl’s shirt opens in the front all the way down to her stomach; shirtless guys; girls are called chicks
Other: superheroes/supervillains/superpowers; two guys are pinned to a wall with sticky “webs”
Thank you to NetGalley, VIZ Media, Yoko Akiyama, and Kohei Horikoshi for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
Being a solid My Hero Academia manga and anime fan, of course, I had to try this one out. It is very evident from the title that this book is a collection of short stories titled "Team-Up Missions" that revolve around various team-ups. Most take place after the heroes get their provisional licenses, though there was one story that was just a basic recap of the UA Class 1-A, which was the least interesting. There were two that tied into the first feature film featuring Melissa as one of the characters. My favorite was a team-up with Fat Gum, Suneater, Ida, and Yaoyorozu. A little girl was rescued by a handsome prince and she enlists the heroes to help her find this hero. I loved the twist on this one and it was all-around fun to see this team-up look fo her prince.
While these stories, didn't add much to the characterization or main story, they were mostly fun to read and felt very much within the world of MHA. This is a fun spin-off with varied adventures featuring MHA fan-favorite characters.
I received a copy of the ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
A great side series for fans of My Hero Academia though they explain enough that new fans can follow along too. It’s a nice break from the main series with plenty of laughs and more details on side characters like Melissa. If you are looking for a light hearted complement to the main arc you have found the right series! Still plenty of villains and seeing Deku becoming even more “Plus Ultra!”.
I recommend watching the My Hero Academia anime series and seeing their first animated film—Two Heroes. That way, you’ll understand and connect with the characters more.
Remember that this all took place in Season 5 after the Joint Training Arc.
P. S. Tenya’s Quirk power was mentioned here. Now you know why.
This was a lot of fun. It was just cute little side stories but honestly, with as heavy as the main series can be, that's what I want sometimes. Between what I'm seeing here and what I got in the light novels, it's very much needed.
5/5 I really enjoyed seeing the characters in these cute side stories. And even though I read all the manga, I believe anyone who hasn’t read the main series would be able to read it too
This book is super fun and really lets us see how the kids interact with each other outside of the school and with heroes we haven't really been able to interact with as much. The comic shorts at the end and some reintroductions to other characters were huge highlights.
The art is incredibly similar to the main story and I'm so thrilled with that because it feels like it's by the MHA creator himself!
A perfect book for those into the main series already!
Welcome to the new spin-off series for My Hero Academia where our beloved characters team up with various heroes and heroes-in-training for one-shot adventures.
This series begins sometime after all the students have their Provisional Licenses (so sometime after the Overhaul arc around volume 18; though, Bakugou is seen in his winter gear so it extends to at least sometime after volume 23; the one-shots seem to jump around the timeline) and also includes My Hero Academia: Two Heroes (the first movie) in the canon as there are cameos for both Melissa and David Shield. So Spoiler Warning!
Overall, the one-shots are interesting and it fills in the gaps of day-to-day hero training that gets glossed over in the main series. However, there are places where this series feels like a gag manga. Obvious puns, overly exaggerated characters (pg 100-104 Bakugou was a little much, even for him), and the four-panel extras at the end made it feel less serious that the main story...which I guess it's kinda supposed to be that way.
Either way, it's a fun little collection of side stories and I enjoyed it.
This series is great for fans who love My Hero Academia and want to learn more about the heroes in this universe. It is fun to see characters that were not given much time in the main manga. The side missions that the students go on with heroes are so much fun and gives a nice peek into more about them. For those that have just started My Hero Academia, it will be great to read Team-Up Missions alongside the main story arcs. For those that have already caught up with My Hero Academia, this is a great way to get more story and lore.
I loved getting to see some of the "backround " characters get a chance to shine in this series!
And it was nice to read some lighthearted stories about both the students and pros working together. (especially after the latest chapters of the manga 😭)
Looking forward to see who will appear in the next volume!
