What this book is about

The first volume of Kohei Horikoshi's beloved shonen manga introduces Izuku Midoriya — born without a quirk in a world where almost everyone has one — who unexpectedly inherits the most powerful ability in existence. My Hero Academia builds its superhero world with genuine craft and emotional intelligence, and volume 1 establishes the themes of heroism, worthiness, and effort that carry the series.
