BnHA: New Cover for Volume 4

The participants for the first year tournament
Of ALL the covers I've seen, this one is the best.

I honestly think Horikoshi-sensei's art is beautiful because not all characters look the same. It's rare to see a manga whose characters looks unique from other. This is the reason I enjoy reading this manga aside from the storyline. Each character has a specific design of their own, the eyes are not redundant. Look at the characters in this picture and tell me they don't exude individuality.

Anyway, the main cast are here with Midoriya my boy shown the largest. Uraraka immediately catches the eye because she has a whole body shot. I like how Kirishima is drawn here, it really gives the impression of being a laid-back person and at the same time looking approachable which is really in his nature. Bakugou looks like he's about to pick up a fight. No surprises there. Kaminari looks like the dude who always make fun of everyone. That's what he is. Sero is not smiling, maybe Kaminari said something offensive? Ashido and Mei looks like... Ashido and Mei. I haven't really observed their characteristics although Mei is an ambitious girl. Momo seems like she was about to tel something but then the camera clicked. Tokoyami looks badass, as ever and Iida's holding a bottle. I assume it contains orange juice? Todoroki - my personal favorite, looks like he doesn't want to be in the photo at, all. Well, didn't he say "we're not here to make friends" to Midoriya? He definitely give off that vibe.

Well, I noted Midoriya's hand has a green bandage and a glove to cover his wrecked hand (he got it when he used One For All during the fight with Todoroki). I think it looks cool. Like the mainstream MCs where they have this signature injury to always remind them of the time when they are too weak. Uraraka's sneakers are pink, really?! Are Bakugou's boots from his hero costume?

Among all of them, I like Kirishima's pose in this cover. If I am someone who's got no idea who he is, by looking at this photo, I'd say he's a friendly guy - which he's certainly is. The way he's drawn here captured that personality.
