SHIGARAKI GAAAANG. TOP 3 CHARACTERS IN FICTION. AIN'T NOBODY DOING MANGA LIKE HORIKOSHI RIGHT NOW. READ MY HERO ACADEMIA, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR.

[Bradley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow wow wow. DABI. The Reveal.

Burn me up and call me Shoto, that was pretty amazing. All of this current blow-up arc is amazing. My mind is reeling. What a mess.

[Angélica Díaz · Rating 5 out of 5]

First of all, I have to be honest with myself.
This arc was amazing, nobody can deny this!
We had a lot of good moments, development of characters (i was fall with Katsuki and Aizawa again), revelations (cofcofDabicof), deaths, the cute Touya has broken the heroes society and the Shoto's mentally healthy, the people have lost the hope and are filled with doubts. Now, nobody knows what is the future of whom once time was named "heroes".
On top of all that: we had the big return of OFA (actually he never left xD) I know a lot of people didn't like that Shigaraki was manipulated by OFA and he dies but, remember OFA was always the main villain.

Anyhow, I can't with the fact that Horikoshi refuses to kill an important hero when he "did", something inside of him repent and show us that is never was died :/.
For last: I was pretty happy to see Mirio bebé in action again, I had missed him so much. Dynamight you rock. And Deku, geez you have grown up!!

"THE PAST NEVER DIES!"

Everything about this volume is pure PERFECTION.

The cover is, without a doubt, my all-time favorite out of the whole series. (No surprise there, really, since Dabi is my favorite.)

The reveal of Dabi's identity and background was absolutely AMAZING. I loved everything about Dabi's dance from start to finish. Definitely one of my favorite moments in the entire series.

The second reveal being Mr. Compress's face and (brief!) history was incredible.

The third reveal, which was Bakugo's hero name. I still can't help but cackle when I think about some of the others' reactions to hearing it, especially Mr. Compress's and Spinner's. Very nice.

And the exchange between Toga and Ochaco...!

I JUST LOVE THIS VOLUME SO MUCH, OKAY? 😭

[Lucy (the invisible life of a reader) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, we finally learned more about Dabi and I can say for sure that I hate him. He is even more insane than Toga! Don't get me wrong he is an amazing villain, but as a person he is very disgusting.

Also my theory turned out to be true. I feel so powerful.

I felt so bad for Shoto. He doesn't deserve any of this. He must be happy. I just want happiness for him.

And my love for Bakugo has increased so much during those last few chapters. His character is written so well!

[Ivana · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everything from here on is just pain

[Anushka Malik · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't believe I never saw it before.
Dabi : Blueflame!
Dabi's Dance has to be one of the most shocking reveals of. All. Times!

This origin story beats even Shigaraki's. I said what I said.

[shreya · Rating 5 out of 5]

this arc just subtracted 10+ years from my life

DABI'S BACKSTORY?? IT WAS DONE SO WELL WTF

[Sarah Ryder · Rating 4 out of 5]

The beginning of the end battle finally ends but not without the loss of so many things it’s shocking for me to wrap my brain around of how much went so WRONG in such a short time.

And in the middle of it all Deku, while not stopping fighting Shigaraki, is still such a shining light of hope in the fast encroaching darkness in how he’ll never stop wanting to save people, even villains. The scene where he’s inside One For All was one the most powerful and heartbreaking things I’ve ever read, and I admire him so much for being exactly who he’s always been unapologetically.

Uraraka has also grown so much and I have a feeling she’ll have to face Toga again and find out the truth behind her final tears. And the Todoroki family is MESSED UP, good grief, that plot twist I didn’t see coming AT ALL! Very much a “WHAT?!?!” then “Oh, that actually makes sense” kind of way that really comes back to bite Endeavor in the butt.

The one bright spot was hearing Bakugo’s superhero name and being able to crack up over it; I won’t spoil it here, but it’s just so BAKUGO and everyone’s reactions to it had me dying it was so funny.

Things are not going to get better before they get worse from here, but I’m here to keep reading and fight alongside Deku and his friends until the very end (or at least as close as I can get at this point, haha).

[Blake the Book Eater · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Dabi reveal is absolutely legendary and this climax is perfect.

[Afifa Afreen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume triggered my fight/flight response. My internal organs rearranged themselves due to stress. My heart was in my stomach, and my stomach was in my mouth. How could so much happen in one volume at such a fast pace is mystery to me.

[Mizuki · Rating 5 out of 5]

(1) I'm both happy and sad to read this volume!!!

(2) Dekusheep and All-Migoat and Bakudog, Todorocat and Ochakitty are so cute!

(3)

"Well...had you experienced the world, Bakugo?"

Best Jeanist sugoi!"

(4) Steampunk cover art is the best!

(5) To think about it, Deku has two girl admiring him in this 30+ volumes series so far! LOL

PS: but I admit I first read some super cute boy's love fanfics about this series first before I got to the story canon! 🤣🤣🤣

More to come.

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

First of all, this cover is epic. Now, on to the review. SO MUCH PAIN!!!! These chapters are just one gut punch after the next. One of my long standing theories was proven correct so that’s super satisfying. Plus one of my favorite characters makes his comeback! Horikoshi is a masterful storyteller. I cannot wait to see how all of this plays out

[Dimpu · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Dabi. That's it. That's the review.

[Eileen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I remember when it was revealed that Dabi was a Todoroki and I never felt so validated for believing in a fan theory 😤

[Paige (pagebypaigebooks) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another awesome volume! This one had a lot of character development but also action!

[Steph · Rating 4 out of 5]

ch 286-295 just dabi spilling some tea 🍵

[Vail Chester · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally, a more respectable hero alias for Bakugo that is less cringe but also pretty good tribute to his favorite hero. I mean, lest we forget, he too, is an unabashed All Might fan.


...At what point do abundance of similar tropes become actual plagiarism but with a few things changed around?

- Prominent Fire Family
- Abusive, famous, & relatively respected father
- Disgraced, disfigured, and exiled older sibling
- Younger sibling perfect golden child, but very cold (unfeeling)
- Mom is out of the picture (technically exiled too)
- Encounter with rebel group makes disfigured older brother lash out at abusive father and everything he stands for.
- Evil sibling associated with blue flames & does a weird thing with hair

AM I TALKING ABOUT MHA OR AVATAR TLA?

[Ronald · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sigh, I mean it is not bad. But this fight has been going on for volumes now. It is often hard to tell who is talking and who is fighting. Some of these heroes and villains have not been seen in a while and some where last seen dead. Those with battle damage are even harder to tell apart. Also, that villain looks nothing like Endeavor, he looks more like Bakugo. Not to mention he never shown that much raw power in the previous volumes. There was some interesting character advancement. But still this fight has gone on way to long and I am losing interest.

[R.J. Sorrento · Rating 5 out of 5]

These keep getting better and better as they go into darker territory. This was such a emotional volume with the Todoroki family drama exploding like a volcano during an already intense and epic battle between heroes and villains. Horikoshi is breaking down and examining what it means to be a hero and a villain, going beyond the binary of good vs evil. It’s been done before, yes, but it works so well with the progression of this series. Can’t wait for Vol 31.

[James DeSantis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is another intense volume. Some crazy ass fights, Deku about at his limit along with everyone else. A surprise with Endevor and his family, a old face is revealed to be apart of the family. Toga is insane, like crazy fucking batshit insane...and I love it. And can we talk about my boy LEMILLION returning? Let's fucking GO!

[keigo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Increíble como me causa tanto dolor y a la vez alegría este manga lpm TOUYAAAAA

[Alejandro Casanova vázquez · Rating 4 out of 5]

Le daría 5 estrellas porque pasan muchas cosas importantes, pero no puedo con el protagonista. Es increíble que en el tomo 30 Deku siga siendo un inútil. O sea, wtf. Ya no siento empatía por él, está todo unidimensional, solo quiere ser el más bueno de todos y nomás no, ni motivaciones complejas tiene. Los personajes secundarios son los únicos que sostienen la trama.
La portada, por otro lado, está bellísima y es de mis favoritas.

[Meshari Alqalfas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fiery as always 🔥 This series never disappoints me!

“Even the thinnest threads can come together and braid a mighty rope. But had even a single thread frayed and come loose, all would have been lost! That, I do believe!” ✨
