Set in a world where 80% of humanity has been endowed with superpowers that are known as Quirks, society has inevitably seen some people use their abilities for more nefarious means and the rise of heroes who stand against them. My hero Academia follows the powerless Izuku Midoriya after a fateful encounter with the world’s greatest hero, All Might, and how he inherits the power of that legendary hero. Armed with One For All–a literal and metaphorical double-edged blade of power that leaves him just as injured as it does his enemies–Izuku enrolls in the UA academy so that he can learn to control his new powers and become a professional hero alongside his classmates.
