My Hero Academia, Vol. 12 (My Hero Academia, #12)

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?

Class 1-A is working on developing their ultimate moves—a process that will test their strength and creativity in all-new ways! To help them out, Mei Hatsume, a student from the Support Course, is brought in to develop improvements to their costumes. The attention from Mei might be more than Midoriya can handle, but he’ll need every edge he can get to pass the next hurdle for the students of U.A.—the Provisional Licensing Exam!

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.
Now that everyone has mostly recovered from the past few months, it's time to get moving forward again.
I actually love that all of the students are now living on campus. That always made more sense to me anyway - presumably, some of these kids were having to travel pretty far to get to such a prestigious school. Plus it's obviously a lot safer, at least in theory.
Everyone is working on mastering new moves...and one of my favorite realizations happens here. I won't say what, but I will say that it's about time! Woo!
