Boku no Hero Academia: Summary

Finally summoned the courage to create my very own blog. I'm not an excellent writer. I made a blog to write about the things I am really passionate about. I'm also not a native English speaker so please forgive me if my composition is not grammatically correct. I will try my best to express my thoughts in the clearest way possible.

This blog was really created for my newest favorite manga, Boku no Hero Academia. I started reading it last November because I've read on some forums that it was the next big thing. Naruto was about to end or had ended that time (I can't really remember), so I decided to read it and see for myself if it was really good like what the forum people were telling. I was a bit skeptical since I don't really read a lot of mangas and the only storyline that I remained loyal to is One Piece. If you read One Piece, you definitely know what a good plot is. After reading a couple of chapters, I was hooked!

The story is like the Japanese version of X-Men. People were born with supernatural powers. Some use their powers or quirks as it is called in the manga, to help people. They are called Heroes. However, some use their quirks to do illegal things and they are branded as villains.

Becoming a hero is what the main character, Midoriya Izuku dreams of. He has an idol, All Might whom he admired since he was a boy. Unfortunately, Midoriya was born quirkless.

In his world, being powerless or "normal" is rare while having a quirk is common.

Regardless of not having a power of his own, Midoriya still dreams of becoming a hero like All Might.

After his chance encounter with All Might and disregarding his safety to save his childhood friend, Midoriya was given One For All, a power that was passed down from one bearer to the next where it is cultivated making it as a "sum convergence of peak strength of countless men." (All Might, chapter 2)

Thus, Midoriya Izuku, once quirkless is now the bearer of One For All enabling him to be admitted to the Heroics Department of the prestigious Yuuei High School where kids who wants to be heroes are trained.

There you have it, the summary of Boku no Hero Academia.

I really should've started this blog long ago now it's on chapter 40 and there is already a tournament arc! Anyway, I'll post my thoughts about the upcoming chapters, I'm sure I will be enjoying that! I'll also think about something to write about the characters since everyone in the manga are interesting and worth talking about.
