Fast-paced and eventful. Devoured the pages and gorged my eyes on the artwork. A manga classic, if there ever was one.

Pretty basic concept. In a world full of heroes with quirks, our protagonist is sadly quirk-less. Yet ends up being the Chosen One to inherit one of the supposedly cool powers. What he does to earn said power and how he manages to attain his goal forms the crux of this Volume.

I'm going to list what I liked or hated, so here's a spoiler warning for you. You've been warned.

What I Liked
- Removed the rose-tinted glasses off the protagonist by showing the true form of All Might
- Giving a message (albeit in a cliched way) that nothing is impossible
- How Aizawa tricked them about expulsion

What I Hated
- Bakugo, is his whole personality just to hate Izuku?
- The fact that Izuku won't stand up to Bakugo, hell he even went so far as to save him?
- How hidden rules conveniently popped up to ensure the protagonist makes in

I guess I picked this up due to the hype generated but hopefully it gets better over time. Maybe I'm being too critical after all?

A fanboy visits his superhero idol and receives a gift. This is a superhero manga about not giving up.
