Volume 1 thoughts: art style is a little odd, though I don’t hate it. Story feels like Marvel but make the heroes go to school before they become heroes. I can see why it’s popular but it’s not my favourite thing. Almost teared up a few times throughout. Horikoshi is really good at drawing the characters crying and making the reader feel that.
Volume 2 thoughts: liked this one more than vol 1. A lot of characters introduced, I thought it would be confusing and messy, Nope. Horikoshi makes it easy to keep all the characters powers and personalities straight.
Volume 3 thoughts: have decided I hate the art, hate All Might, and am not a fan of Deku.
