I'm all about this series. Hope it sticks around for a good long time.

Man I really think this series is going places. The art is just super crisp and All Might is hilarious in like every panel he's in. I also like the Deku/Ochacko team-up so I hope they get to stick around as a pair :allears:

Aw, the costume his mom made for him already got ruined. Sad.


There's probably bad stuff out there, because of course there is, but the art of her I've seen is pretty good, at least. That post is actually what got me curious about the series; decided to look it up after seeing that. Discovered that the rest of the comic is really good too.

That's some dope art, so good call.

Other neat lil' things I've picked up on in subsequent readings:

- Iida initially gives of the vibe of a super smarts kind of guy but I really like how it seems that he needs to have things explained to him often.
- Demon horns girl is SUPER JAZZED about this fight that's just started.
- I get the sense that we might get to really learn about the whole class here rather than just the lead crew, which is exciting.

I like Iida, he's the "smart guy" but he can also be kind of obtuse and miss obvious things and such; rather than the usual insufferable know-it-all, he comes off a bit more real. I know people like that.

Yeah this is what I was trying to get at but I'm not words good.

The author's put himself in a good position by explaining the quirks away with "it's just the deal, yo" which I hope means we can expect a wild variety of wacky abilities and characters.

I think I'm getting myself too excited about this series but I have really high hopes for it.

That's actually a pretty good idea, with an emphasis on the heavy. She can just make it weightless. Though I'm wondering about the details on her drawback: does she get nausea because of overuse (number/mass of objects affected), duration of use, or because she makes herself weightless and that just makes her barfy. Depending on what it is, heavy armor might or might not be practical.

Yeah i feel like if she constantly had to make herself/clothes weightless just to move she'd just be nauseous all the time.

I don't think she can make stuff heavier(yet), just make stuff lighter.

It's not that the toe is what gives them powers, it's that the lack of joint is an indication that the person has evolved further than a standard human (because the toe joint is vestigial) and therefore part of the "new generation" that has powers.

Not gained by, but indicated by.

I'm probably being too pedantic about this.

Bakugou is no lie one of the scariest antagonists I think I've ever seen in a shonen. Dude is just made of raw anger which is somehow more frightening than being evil.

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.

I think with regard to the entrance exam we just kind of have to suspend disbelief a little because a lot of the powers at play here don't seems like they'd bee to useful against robots.

Man, whoever's making that fanart is on their game. Except for all the compromising angles, but, Japan, I guess.

VP's power looks neat as heck and I'm excited to see what her mini-team there can do. I really like plug-ear girl's design too.

I thought that was from the actual artist's twitter.

Also you know poo poo just got real because the short kid isn't checking out anyone's chest in that final panel. He's even doing it in the color spread at the beginning.

Looks like it's from pixiv. The mangka's twitter doesn't have it, but there are neat sketches.

That's actually not the Kohei Horikoshi's pixiv! That's some other fanartist. I happen to follow his pixiv, and it's only got a few things -- mostly just awesome colorings of stuff!

Grapeboy is my favorite side-character so far. :allears:

No I know it's not his, it's definitely fanart. You can pick out some stylistic differences. The fanartist is drat good at copying style though.

Anyway, I couldn't help myself and went through the raws a while back. I don't want to say too much but god drat am I jazzed for these translations to come out.

Is that an actual color spread or just colored fanart? Why would gravity girl have dark hair when its never colored in?

Yeah that's the actual spread. As for why: manga logic I guess?

I'm kind of wondering if this isn't going to end up with Deku asking Eraserhead to teach him martial arts, to supplement his powers for as long as he needs it. While it wouldn't be as great as on someone who can erase quirks, it'd make him a credible threat to some villains without having to worry about breaking a finger or arm every time he has to fight.

Given that this is a superhero school I imagine martial arts is going to be a big part of the curriculum in the first place. So unless poo poo goes south real quick you'd figure that Deku learning how to fight would be a given.

Delaware is shaped kind of like a finger I guess. It's long and thin and Deku's attack had similar properties.

It's not perfectly clear to me what Portalman (who is totally voiced by Stephen Blum in my mind) did to Spaceman #13 there. Did #13 create a black hole at him, and then Portalguy warped the black hole behind him?

That seems to be the case, yeah.

Everyone's all about Tsuyu or whatever but I'm gonna go underground and claim Jirou as best secondary character.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be corny and kind of weird sounding because that's All Might's whole shtick

I like Ashido, the bug-ish looking girl with the black eyes. She hasn't had much screen time (well she has, sorta) or done much, but she looks cool. Tsuyu is probably my favorite characterization wise, of the kids at least. All Might is the best overall though.

I like Ashido because she is super jazzed about dogding

I'm not sure if this was mentioned in the comic - Are the students in the Management and Support classes participating in the same contests as the Heroics classes, or do they get their own set of contests? If it is the former, that seems rather unfair to the Management and Support students.

Well, it's not like the other students don't have quirks as well.

I'm leaning towards the fan translation being right in this one, though I doubt it's very important either way
