It's just arc escalation, where poo poo gets a little more real. For comparison's sake, it's sort of like how the Zabuza arc in Naruto, or the Captain Kuro/Baratie/Arlong arcs in One Piece suddenly raised the stakes.

EDIT: I don't want to comment too much about the raws, mostly because I don't fully understand it either, but it's easy to surmise what's happening. I'm excited to see it translated though.

Really loving this so far and I didn't think I would. But everything about it is just so well done. Easily replaces Naruto and I hope that it becomes big as well.

Does this typically get released on some sort of schedule? It's pretty fun and adding in for more Frog girl although a lot of the background character designs are good.

The series is about 10 chapters ahead of the scans, so our current schedule is "when the scanlators finish a chapter". The manga itself is weekly.

I'm amused by the fact that Bakugou's entire analysis is all explosive other than his pants.

Since the descriptions were getting progressively more explosive, it would've been just plain embarrassing for them to continue. The kid's got a reputation to live up to :v:

I think another thing I like about this series is that people actually recognize that Midoriya has a superpower from the very plainly visible destruction he causes when he uses it.

If this was done by just about any other shounen artist/author we'd have some utterly insufferable gag where he had to "hide" his power for some reason or coincidences would happen repeatedly where no one would believe he had any superpowers or some dumb poo poo like that for several arcs until the "big moment" where everyone got to see it for real.

I am glad that Ochako is the one who saved the day and won the test for their team. I really hope she doesn't get stuck being The Chick because she is cool as hell and I want to see her keep being cool.

His sweat is like nitroglycerin according to the splash page which is flammable, so in theory yes.

Probably! But he seems super resistant to his own explosions, so I expect that'd be more a problem for the sauna than for him.

The true question is whether or not he can participate in the eventual beach chapter without exploding. Deku even cleared a beach in advance, we know it's coming.

Yep. Nerds like Toad from the X-Men, and nerds like moe schoolgirls. Moe schoolgirl Toad is basically nerd catnip.

Just be glad there isn't a moe schoolgirl Batman or Wolverine in this comic, or we'd never hear the end of it.

It's entirely because of her character design. I can't stand Toad, he's completely awful and I don't think X-Men ever did anything interesting with his powerset. Asui, on the other hand, is super cute, and the author keeps putting cool art of her on his twitter:







So I'm expecting her to do cool things, because look at that. Look at that!

Yeah, this guy has always had really cool animal-inspired character designs. You can just tell he loves cartoons and such, looking at his portfolio of mangas -- Oumagadoki Zoo and Barrage both had great cartoon animals. He's just got a great, fresh, dynamic art style, I'm glad he's finally getting some success.

Folks who are enjoying this might want to check out PS238 by Aaron Williams. It's also about a group of kids attending hero school, and one of the main characters is exactly what someone upthread wanted to see: "a normal kid batmanning his way through hero school". It ran 51 issues as a print comic, then started publishing on the web earlier this year, and all the back issues are up on the website.

I'm unreasonably excited about Deku getting to be pals with all the students, especially Nami (who's apparently got an ant-based ability?) because she seems so amped up all the time.

Not the weird tentacle guy though because his power creeps me right the gently caress out.
