My Hero Academia, Vol. 2 by Kōhei Horikoshi

4.0

A fun and well-paced follow up to Vol.1! I enjoyed the action in this one a lot, and the setting of their training/battle was such a great location for what was happening. Also, I really like that everyone in the class is getting their moment to shine and have their character explored. Seeing all their powers in action is cool; I've never liked when the side characters get super shoved off to side to make way for the "main" heroes.
Honestly, the main thing that I didn't like about this is the weird comments the author makes on the characters profile pages separating chapters. He calls himself a "perv" and implies pervy characters are fun (??), which is shown pretty clearly in the multiple comments characters make about wanting to grope some boobs. I get that these are hormonal high school kids, but the fact that the author calls himself a perv and then writes like that just makes the situation a bit weird. Fingers crossed for more superhero action and less pervy comments in future volumes. 🤞🤞
