My Hero Academia, Vol. 11 (My Hero Academia, #11)

by Kohei Horikoshi

Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world’s greatest hero, but greatness won’t come easy.

What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?

Bakugo’s abduction by the League of Villains was a carefully calculated move designed to draw out the heroes—All Might in particular—and destroy them. Midoriya and his friends set out on a rescue mission that eventually pulls in not only All Might but also several other heroes! The casualties mount, until at last the mastermind of the plot appears—All for One, the only villain powerful enough to take on All Might head-to-head and possibly win!

Reviews

[Quirky Cat]

If you've watched the anime for this series, then you've already got a really strong idea of what happens in this volume. I have to say that the anime is shockingly loyal to the series on the whole, which I absolutely adore.
This volume is the drum solo of the series. So far, at least. If you've seen any epic clips from the anime, it was probably from the fights included here. They're amazing and intense, and I can only say so much without completely gushing about it.
I love how all the heroes worked together, even the ones that were too damaged to do much more than help evacuate the civilians and injured. The fact that they were aware enough to know that that would help says everything about their training. My respect for them went up, at that moment.
All Might was absolutely amazing in this volume as well, though obviously, it was also a little heartbreaking as well. If you've been following the series, then you know that there was a time limit on everything, and we were rapidly approaching that point. Doesn't make it any less sad though. Or what All Might did any less epic.
