My Hero Academia, Vol. 2 (My Hero Academia, #2)

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.
The second volume of MHA is all about Deku and the rest of the students adapting to life at school. It isn't exactly a typical school of course, so things are a bit different. Like their homeroom teacher who threatens to fail out the student who gets the worst score on the tests he's throwing at them.
To be fair, I actually understand where Aizawa is coming from in this case. Any student that goes through the program and graduates will become either a hero or a sidekick. That means they'll be coming up again villains, and thus putting their lives at risk. Failing out the ones who are less likely to survive this is simply humane. Granted, he isn't giving them much room to learn and improve, but I can still see where he is coming from.
Deku is still learning to handle his new quirk, especially since his body can't exactly seem to handle it as of yet. I'm looking forward to seeing if the manga shows his progress any differently (but I suspect not).
