Does no one feel a little betrayed since

the whole point was that he had no quirk, and then he just gets one

Love the characters though, solid development.

Great characters

by smokeesid

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I have seen the statement of some people comparing it with other shonen like Naruto. I admit it is similar to a few manga for example One Piece in having diverse characters, well planned story and group dynamics. It might be called similar to Naruto in having thorough portrayal of fights and the visible use of cleverness and tactics but it does miles better than Naruto. Artwork is appealing especially when it comes to action and the group of characters is refreshing. Their development is well integrated in the story that it doesn't seem like a deliberate effort from the author and it is always emotive and make us identify with them. I haven't seen any character that comes in the limelight redundantly. They all have their part essential for the manga. Even the villains are interesting and tend to develop in time. Another thing is the characters themselves, their concept is refreshing. You don't feel like they have been copy pasted from other manga. Every friendship, rivalry, animosity naturally evolves without making us feel like they are forced. Likewise, the wisecracks, humorous conversations are naturally there as having such characters together.

All in all, in terms of characters, group dynamics, character development this manga is great.

Jump Titans, Assemble! (to make money)

by residentgrigo
9 years ago

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

Shueisha recently found out that superhero adaptations are a money-printing press. The mega IPs One-Punchline Man´s remake and this turned into are the results. I have no strong opinions on either but both follow the popular DBZ formula fine and will delight casual anime/manga fans while making much-needed money for all involved. The plot never fully works and descends into unending city destructions against no-dimensional cartoon villains later on. The characters, worst of all, fail to evolve, and all female characters suck so I have to wonder about the manga´s reader retention rate and possible legacy. The lengthy prequel manga goes nowhere btw so even the superhero spin-off curse goes into full effect here. The art is memorable enough but the fights are very muddy and hard to follow and the characters can be overdesigned.
Avengers: The Initiative / Academy told this exact story much better and this is a lesser take on Naruto on top of that as that too was a superhero comic. I recommend reading US comics to get the best out of the genre.

Boku no Hero Academia

Not giving it a ten? Well, f*ck you too!

To be frank, this manga is FMA tier, that meaning - close to perfect (as of now).
It's not done yet, of course, but still, even a bad ending can't ruin it too much at this point.

A fun series, that's about it.

by Samken

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

There's nothing new or revolutionary here. Typical weak to strong story, with plenty of cheesiness, power of friendship, and what not. The artwork is good (extremely good if you consider it's a weekly schedule), the girls look a little chubby, which is fine by me, but that can put off some guys who prefer the typical slim and cute appearance of girls in today's shounen, and the boys range from hot blooded guys to calm and calculating ones, typical.

But putting things together is rather well done (in their own cliches), that's about it. There's nothing bad here, but nothing that screams Greatness. It's a good and fun series to read, specially for a younger audience (-18), and that's what the shounen demographic is all about.

Would be a great introduction for a young lad who never has read a Shounen. But for older monkeys like me i just appreciate that it's a inoffensive work that will get younger people's blood pumping with each page. My first recommendation is and always will be Dragon Ball, as this was the work that defined the battle manga sub-genre for many generations, but this would be my third recommendation (After Hunter x Hunter) if the lad does not appreciate or just doesn't wanna read a classic.

Not bad, not great

by RoxFlowz

Rating: 6.5 / 10.0

Here we have a superhero series well done, I guess. Typical weak to strong, rivalry, a bit cheesiness and friendship + justice themes etc.
I think everything is pretty well done, but in the end there’s absolutely nothing new to see here. It’s a straight shounen, nothing special about the plot or the characters. I’d still recommend it though, especially for a younger audience or for people who are looking for 100% shounen and don’t mind the lack of originality.

'Boku no' rule

A friend of mine has made it a rule to never read anything with "Boku no" in the title, and what a shame. It is a great series. If you have the same rule, I think you should break it-- just this once.

It's been a while since any shounen has engaged me to this extent, and I don't know whether it's the simple, purehearted earnestness of one boy to meet his hero's expectations, or the mash of humanity and morals that are seen through the eyes of such an earnest, kind boy...but I am very eager to read more of this boy's journey to becoming a hero.

Quite entertaining.

by Padawan

A young boy's life journey from zero to hero, in a world where >90% of the population are practically X-Men.

Quite entertaining. Main character's courage and selflessness is commendable. That no. 1 hero may be the best of the best, but its very interesting to see how even he is not perfect and actually quite relatable (eg. he's finding it difficult to be a teacher, he makes mistakes, he's not all-knowing.etc). His overly heroic attitude is kinda amusing to see.

I am actively following this series.

Really fun!

by Natsumijojo

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

I really enjoy this series! I wouldn't say its perfect but in a way its because of its not perfect its good. I enjoy the seriousness of the battle scenes and even the underlying fact the after the "fire" was past to a new "torched" the old "torched" began to lose its "light". (Don't wanna spoil too much.) I love the silliness and comedic side to this series. Even the quirkiness to the character isn't brushed off. Its still to early to judge since its now beginning to pick up, after all,,, the manga world is harsh and this series can meet some random, rushed ending. BUT anyways, its really fun and if you get a chance give it a try!
