My Hero Academia
Kohei Horikoshi
- Reading
- Read together or check in after the action begins, if that would suit your reader. You could pause to talk about which parts of hero training seem challenging or fair.
- Themes
- Ability and belonging: Most people have Quirks, while Izuku is born without one and doubts he can enter the hero school he wants to attend. The premise makes the difference in abilities central, but does not establish how the story ultimately judges that difference.
- Heroism and conflict: The premise presents heroism as something to study and practise, within a world where heroes and villains battle. Training and battles are part of the setup; the story’s judgement of particular actions or its treatment of violence is not established.
- Worth knowing
- Heroes and villains are described as battling, so conflict and action are part of the premise. How intense or detailed those scenes are is not established here.
