So goodddd. Shoto was a bit cocky tho. And I was so excited when Izuku made “THE PLAN” at least it worked good! Can’t wait for the cavalry battle!!
So here is why this story is so well put together in my opinion.
1. the story is significantly more complex that it emerged in the first 2 volumes. Volume 1 really presented our main characters and their interactions; and the power of sheer will. Volume 2 already conveyed a super complicated dynamic between the heroes and the villains in which the youngsters are thrown into. Sure, there are still conflicts and interesting relationships in the classroom yet the powerful aspect is that young heroes are stretched to their limits since the very beginning. And they are not expected to win alone - so much that they do not unlike many other manga stories - yet they provide extremely valuable support and skills to the adult heroes.
2. The comics are FULL of details. I was casually reading One Piece (and I will be delighting myself with that story as well) which is an absolute deserved success in terms of characters, story, world building, yet the comics are much simpler. Instead in My Hero Academia every single page delivers a lot of content that goes well beyond the average of my (limited) manga experience.
I cannot wait to delve into #4 - if the volume will be delivered to me in the next days. Yet, I bought the all the published volumes available so far (10).

This moves so much faster than I remember! I can't believe Shinsou got introduced in volume 3?? Love him. I think I'm reading this a lot more critically now, and I'm noticing a lot more about the characters than I did before. I wasn't a huge fan of Bakugo, like I liked him okay, but he was just the explosive jerk boy. In this reread I think I'll end up liking him a lot more. There's just little bits that I'm noticing that's making him a bit more layered than just the asshole bully. My love for the 1-a kids is returning, so I'm kind of excited to jump back in and catch up to the series. I definitely want to rewatch the show soon too.

I honestly loved this arc when I was watching the anime so seeing it not on screen wasn't the best experience but it's picking up.
