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?
The League of Villains has kidnapped Bakugo, and the resulting negative publicity has thrown U.A. into a huge uproar. With the public’s trust in heroes threatened, the faculty convenes to figure out what to do. But Midoriya and the students of Class 1-A have plans of their own—an operation to rescue Bakugo that could get them thrown out of school!

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. Honestly, I don't hate Bakugo as much as I had at one point during the series (it waxes and wanes for me), but that being said. I can see why the league of villains targeted him. He doesn't exactly act like a hero, even in the best of times. Sure, he can kick butt like the best of them, but his demeanor is overly aggressive and he's a bit too self-obsessed. So I get it. I'm not saying that I think it was a smart move or anything, but I certainly get it. However, I did love the reaction of Class A as a whole for what happened here. And that some of them were able to figure out a way of helping. A way that didn't involve them breaking any of the rules, which is pretty darn clever. It's probably still worth them getting in trouble for...but you know how it goes.
