The aspiring heroes of My Hero Academia team up with pro heroes for action-packed missions!

The ambitious Team-Up Missions Program pairs groups of aspiring heroes with pro heroes to go on action-packed missions! Although Izuku Midoriya and his U.A. High friends are thrilled to participate, there’s just one catch—there’s no telling who will be teamed up with whom! From top heroes to students from other classes and schools, anyone could be on the same team.

Whether it’s Deku descending into the abyss with Tokoyami or an amusement park adventure with Todoroki, Bakugo, and others, you never know what’s next. Then, a bonus story about Deku and Bakugo’s encounter with a villain before the events of the main series!

Summary:

The students of U.A. High (and beyond) have been signed into an ambitious Team-Up Missions Program. This program is designed to help them match and team up with other pros and aspiring pros, giving them real-life experience as heroes.

The timing of this program couldn’t be better, as our heroes-to-be need all the prepping they can get. As such, get ready to see new matches and team-ups as our students learn new tricks and perfect old skills.

Review:

I have meant to read My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions for WAY too long, so I’m happy to dive back into this series. It’s just as fun and chaotic as I remembered, offering light entertainment to balance out the heaviness of the current MHA arc.

My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions Vol. 2 brings us back to the characters we know and love so much, and as expected, they’re in unique team combinations. Most of the pairings were a lot of fun, either because they were expected or highly requested (or both). I wish the pacing allowed for a bit more time with each group/event.

There’s no denying that this is an action-packed series with a focus on what can be achieved with each new team-up. I don’t know how canon the series is (I’m assuming not much?), but seeing the heroes in this environment is a delight. I always felt like we needed to see more training in the main MHA arc.

Bonus points for getting the artwork so perfect. This looks and feels like the main MHA story, so the transition isn’t alarming. It feels perfectly natural.

Highlights:
MHA Spin-off
Teenage Superheroes
High action and drama
