My Hero Academia, Vol. 21 (My Hero Academia, #21)

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’s joint battle training with Class B continues! Class 1-A get the first win in the best-of-five series of all-out Quirk battles, but after some feedback from the teachers, the students square off again for a second round, and real rivalries form.

[Quirky Cat]

Volume 21 of MHA wrapped up the plot started in the last volume, and man did it not go the way I expected it to. I'm actually happier about that than I expected to be, but it probably helps that they did a really solid job with it.
I love how complex this whole situation became. I can't describe it too much, because I don't want to give away any spoilers. But it had so many layers, and as each was revealed it naturally had a different set of reactions. It was perfect.
The next plot started in the series is interesting as well, but for a completely different reason. I'm so glad that this UA student was given a chance. I've been thinking for a while - ever since the first competition actually - that UA has a problem with how their test their students for entry. A lot of abilities would fall through the cracks, especially the non-combative styles, even though there's more to fighting than being a hero. So it's good to see something being tested, and hopefully the school learns from it.
