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?
A sinister group of villains has attacked the first-year U.A. students, but their real target is All Might. It's all that Midoriya and his classmates can do to hold them off until reinforcements arrive. All Might joins the battle to protect the kids, but as his power runs out he may be forced into an extremely dangerous bluff!
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. It was at this point in the TV show that I found myself truly hooked on the series. I loved the sudden tension and getting to see the students really get a chance to prove their worth. That sudden burst of emotions was no different for the manga, I am happy to report. That was a really solid plot, that went a long way in letting us get to know the students and teachers of the series. It also introduced the main antagonist for the current plot arc, so that was another major win. I loved this plot. There were so many good fight sequences involved, plus all the obvious tension of All Might not being at his best, and Deku not having control of his quirk yet.
