His bravery catches the eye of All Might, the world’s strongest hero, who agrees to pass on his incredible power to the young man.
The only problem? Izuku was one of the few born without a Quirk. My Hero Academia is the story of Izuku Midoriya, an aspiring hero in a world where 80% of the population has some form of superpower, usually called a Quirk. With a clever blend of Western comic and manga tropes, the series has gone on to sell more than 85 million copies worldwide. Since its debut in July 2014, Kohei Horikoshi’s manga has run for more than 350 chapters and spawned video games, films, and, of course, a highly successful anime series. Whether or not you’re an anime fan, it will have been impossible to miss the cultural phenomenon that My Hero Academia has become.
