My Hero Academia, Vol. 1

In My Hero Academia, Vol. 1 by Kohei Horikoshi, a superhero manga packed with heart and humour, a Quirkless kid discovers that heroism isn’t just about power—it’s about choices. Set in a near-future Japan where most people have “Quirks”, the story taps into big themes of courage, perseverance and what it really means to be worthy.

Izuku Midoriya idolises All Might and dreams of entering U.A. High, the elite hero academy, but his lack of powers makes that hope feel painfully out of reach. When a sudden run-in with danger puts him in All Might’s orbit, Midoriya is offered an unexpected path forward—one that demands grit, training and a willingness to risk everything.

Perfect for readers who love coming-of-age stories, school settings, action-heavy anime and manga, and underdog heroes with huge hearts.
