What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested
superpowers called Quirks at age four? Heroes and villains would be battling it
out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where
would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you
were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?
Getting into U.A. High School was difficult enough, but it was only the
beginning of Izuku's long road toward becoming a superhero. The new students
all have some amazing powers, and although Izuku has inherited All
Might's abilities, he can barely control them. Then the first-year students are
told they will have to compete just to avoid being expelled!
