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 raid on the Hassaikai gang is in full swing, and the heroes plunge into the darkness toward their ultimate confrontation. Lemillion engages Overhaul in an attempt to rescue Eri, and the battle reaches a new level of intensity. Midoriya is desperate to help his mentor, but what fate has Nighteye foreseen for them all in this clash? And does the key to Midoriya’s survival lie in Eri herself?
I'm so happy that I decided to read this volume straight away. I was worried about one character in particular (psst, the one on the cover) and was hoping that I would learn more about his side of things in this volume. Thankfully that WAS the case. I don't think my anxiety would have been happy if I had to wait another volume or two. I know I keep saying it, but this was an epic volume! Tons of great fights, and even more dramatic declarations. It did a great job of showing what it really means to be a hero We also got to learn a bit more about the enemies in this volume, and some of the heroes we didn't know as well at the same time. It isn't always easy to mix that sort of thing in with a lot of intense fight scenes, so I'm pretty pleased about that. Obviously the cliffhanger conclusion to this volume has left me anxious to read volume 18, but at this point I'm hardly even surprised by that fact. It's starting to become a fact of life here.
