The Current State of The My Hero Academia Manga and is It Actually Horrible or Just Overreacting?

I feel like now was a better time than ever to make a My Hero Academia video on the manga after chapter 346 released this past weekend. Is the series actually horrible right now or are people overreacting? I stated months ago that My Hero Academia /Boku no Hero Academia around the Star and Stripes arc felt incredibly rushed, but has the story telling declined? Personally I don't think so and I think there's a lot of great potential here that Horikoshi-sensei is setting up! I actually can't wait to read MHA Chapter 347 this upcoming weekend!

With the latest chapters diving head first into the war arc with Heroes vs Villains. Lets talks about the current state of the My Hero Academia manga

[@tyriquesmith8850]

I'm not sure if this will happen, because it feels a bit too predictable, but I feel like AFO/Shigaraki will be shot with a quirk erasing bullet by the end of the series. Similar to Avatar the Last Airbender.

[@csharponlinux4670]

Honestly, I dropped the manga when I felt that the author is not fully committed in making a satisfying ending/story overall. I've been burnt out by Attack on Titan manga ending, so I was more careful where I commit my attention to for reading manga.

[@randomdude1st563]

In my personal opinion, there should have been a training arc before the last war. Having one will show Shinso and Monama's training (Since they played a big part, especially Monama)+ 1As and 1Bs. + I think they could have had a little down time. They could have had character interactions to the pivotal characters that will play a big part (since I'm guessing Shoji will fight Spinner for the "fate" of Mutant-user Quirks. + most of 1A.). Also since the latest chapter shows multiple heroes helping each other, they could have shown them planning it out(?). Edit: I think that Horikoshi-sensei is being rushed so I don't blame him for the manga being bad since burnout is a bad thing for creators.

[@jeffreyali1456]

I won’t lie, the final act really dissapointed me with how much more potential they could’ve had and yet for the most part, they dropped the ball so many times. If the villains win and we get a direct sequel, that would be a good way to get more chances of redemption, but overall, I’m just here to see how the villains get shit done

[@Bonny-2132]

This feels similar to Bleach's situation years ago. I don't have much context so I won't hop on the MHA hate-wagon like a lot of people did with Bleach's ending since I know how it feels when everyone dog-piles on a series just for the sake of dog-piling on it. I think I stopped reading around when Deku started being a solo vigilante and they brought him back to the school.

[@kirbo4111]

I’ll also say this. Mha has been going on for over 7 years now and according to horikoshi it was never meant to be a super long story like people were expecting it to be (like a part two or several more arcs). Almost every interview or comment he makes on the series length always suggests that it’s going on a bit long then what he initially planned. He said around 30 volumes and that the pro hero arc was around half way through the story. The only thing that I myself personally feel was rushed was aoyamas situation. Though everything else seems to move at a reasonable and realistic pace. I think I can see why a lot of people feel it’s rushed or that it dropped in quality but I don’t really agree. That’s just my 2 cents though

[@jeffreyali1456]

I really don’t see this as reasonable as there’s so much more to explore and discover and yet we’re getting this. If they were to do a sequel then maybe they have a chance but I’m really doubting it. Just so much more potential not used makes it really irritating

[@kirbo4111]

@@jeffreyali1456 i see. Well personally I’m relatively satisfied with what we’ve seen apart from a few minor things I wish were expanded on. But with the major things I think it’s been ok.

@@kirbo4111 Thank’s man, it’s pretty much a subjective thing at the end of the day. I really do wish Hori takes a hiatus though cause while I think MHA is ok at best, he deserves to take his time instead of rushing and making things more problematic. That goes for every mangaka with The same problem working at jump.

[@kirbo4111]

@@jeffreyali1456 agreed. He’s also been taking a lot of breaks. Not a problem of course but no matter my opinion it’s clear that a lot of mangaka get burnt out after too long and he might be going down that path

[@jeffreyali1456]

@@kirbo4111 from the looks of it, he might be doing so, or his editors are forcing him to.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

Horikoshi always gets in his bag whenever he writes a chapter involving Shigaraki. MVA and the War as a whole proves that. Even recently when he pulled up with that spread of just his hand and riding the Nomu. So when I read the chapter and saw that there was both Shigaraki AND Monoma greatness, my hype went through the roof.

[@ObaREX]

Which is probably why this entire final act has been kinda boring. Shigaraki hasn't really been allowed to be Shigaraki since the war arc. He doesn't feel as important as he once was. Even after AFO is taken out, Shigaraki will never have delivered on the promise of becoming the greatest villain of MHA. Because he was stopped short of doing that. And we ended up spending the final act focused on his step dad.

[@Sarge23]

For me the vibe and pace for the series changed once mirio showed up. Seeing how we got the bare minimum for his quirk return and his impact, mr compress reveal was useless to the story, the deku quirk reveals felt very fast and not very impactful (remember fa jin was a thing?) Deku's bounce back was too sudden, The SnS fight was pointless to an extent, toga just "came back", the new war just started so randomly and plenty others but my point is it feels like something changed either in the background or horikoshi just wanting to be done already himself. Just my thoughts.

[@Hassan-kf6xj]

exactly on that chapter was when they changed Horikoshi's previous editor for the one that was on red hood and samurai 8.

[@jeffreyali1456]

Final act was a giant mess with a few good things. And I don’t see how the heroes will win this without an asspull

[@Hassan-kf6xj]

@@jeffreyali1456 you saw the amount of planning that went just into Shigaraki's fight, you think that isn't the case for every one of them?

[@jeffreyali1456]

@@Hassan-kf6xj they did do a lot of planning, but things can still go south very quickly, AFO still has some tricks up his sleeve and Shiggy going 100% awakened could be far more powerful than the heroes anticipated. Plus no one knows about toga having twice’s blood as well so that’s gonna be a problem. The other villains though, they definitely have plans for that.

[@slobertooth1358]

I never had a problem with the compress reavel personally. I thought it made sense.

[@adn8739]

Personally i don't like it how it's going it's rushed and the story is all over the place. At this point I am just tuning in because I have already read caught up so I just see it through. There was so much potential.

[@Domin1cPhoenix]

I definitely wouldn’t say the manga is horrible, but for a while now, it has felt somewhat… underwhelming. It just feels like we’ve reached the endgame so quickly and I feel like there’s so much that hasn’t been explored or fleshed out. It’s hard to be too upset though, cause being a mangaka isn’t exactly easy yet Horikoshi has still managed to deliver a story that I’ve loved for 7 years now. In some ways, maybe the mangas current state is a tad disappointing, but still far from horrible. I’m happy that we’re still lucky enough to have read this story and I can’t thank Horikoshi enough for delivering it

[@jeffreyali1456]

I agree. I think it’s not bad, but it really isn’t great either, it’s ok. I can say that there are some things I love about the manga from the panels and the Villains, but half of the time some things interests me and the other half I just can’t care or it irritates me how so much potential is in a stand still. MVA and war arcs were the best by far (more so MVA cause I love the villains much more), but after that for the most part was just completely rushed

[@marocat4749]

No the ar arc was good, and that could have taken shigarai a lot longer out of the picture to explore more the class even depower shigaraki enough, . it was really good there.

[@Nxforthewin]

The pacing has sped up significantly and it’s clear as day that Horikoshi is trying to get to the end before 2022 is over. Regardless, I agree Chibi that these chapters have been very good. I still think there should have been a little more build up. However, I think people are just being dramatic. Also it’s just cool to hate on MHA nowadays thanks to S5.

[@jeffreyali1456]

[@manuelespinoza6794]

Honestly, Do villains deserve to be saved? In this situation, no. Shigi has done too much to justify saving him. The league of villains have too much blood on their hands to give anyone the benefit of the doubt that they may be “misunderstood.” Take toga, she out casted herself. She took pleasure in murdering and tried to justify it as “I want to be like them.” Or Dabi, who simply wants to get back at his family for being abandoned despite his father being justified into think his soon died accidentally. Hawks actually extended that hand to twice begging him to turn himself in and even help them capture the villains. What did twice do? He chose to be side with his friends despite them doing bad things. So, hawks was justified in killing him. Should a hero save a villain despite the villains killings hundreds and thousands of innocence? No. They didn’t kill them accidentally like gentle criminal did. They willing did it to spread chaos. If a hero has to kill a villain to save country, then that is their duty. Their justice. That’s what being a hero is, saving the innocent. The League of Villain might’ve had unfortunate upbringing but they chose the worst way possible to enact their justice. Which is why the story suffers a lot and feels rushed. Horikoshi is trying to make the reader feel bad for them despite with everything they did in the first war and before it. Not only that but none of the league of villains never showed any glimpses of feeling bad for doing the things they did nor were they regretful. Not until now where they developed these things suddenly. Which doesn’t make sense. I hope this series doesn’t end with any of the league of villain members being saved. Rather they should all be out of their misery, put to rest, and there deaths should serve as an example of some kind. That expresses their unfortunate upbringing and a cautionary tale of what happens when someone’s doesn’t get the help they need. All might said a hero can’t save everyone and he was right. It’s up to the public as well to better themselves And Toshinori also said that “Freeing/Saving someone” can also be done by putting them to rest/killing them.

[@tolord1800]

I feel like everyone has just forgotten that this villains have actually killed thousands of people knowingly and everyone is all Uwu sad backstory

[@thgritic102]

Finally! Someone saying a hero killing a villain is still justice as it saves the innocent is fine! That's the one thing I can never get behind most superhero genre series is how they really try making the hero all pure and such, yet the civilians are still suffering from the villain the hero oh so claimed to have changed for the umpteenth time. In MHA, the heroes definitely have a reason in getting the LOV because they aren't remorse about what they did, and they took everything to the extreme. I can't even say locking them up and spending time in max prison would change their minds. The next step is to give them the rest they deserve since that is saving them from themselves.

[@johnweebfps]

yeah i hate the saving villain principle too, if there was a innocent life in the line, its shoot to kill, like in our current society, if there was aa person wanting to kill another person, the police option is to stop or if there no other way, kill him/her.

[@scarletnach2952]

The only thing I could argue is that Hawks was justified with killing Twice. He should be punished by taking a life at the end of the day. Killing is not the best solution but understandable because not every person deserves that. MHA gives more character and writing in the villains than heroes which is a problem.

Horikoshi's art keeps being the very best, even improving. Yet I just can't turn my eyes away from so many things that got unceremoniously sidelined or were just thrown out because of this acceleration towards the finishing line. One such thing, and I'm 100% biased, is Momo's character in the latest chapter. Yes, her role there is reasonable and I don't think someone else could easily replace her. But she's been reduced to a 3D printer with nothing to provide from all her character build up as a leader and a strategist. She's supposed to be as much of a genius as Nezu and Mei are, Midnight (RIP and the students never got to mourn her) saw Momo's potential and entrusted her with stopping Gigantomachia, which she did, in the end. Yet now... where did all of that go?

[@jeffreyali1456]

It’s not just her, a lot of people have delegated to the same problem. And I agree, I think MHA is ok, and the artwork is amazing, but I really can’t ignore the problems MHA has throughout the series and especially the final act and how it underwhelmed and irritated me

it was dark enough... like deku literally suffered the consequences of having one for all and was targetted by all for one so he went to go after AFO and ignored his friends the only way if the arc got darker is if deku actually went after AFO and died because star and stripes fought AFO and ended up dead so the same thing would happen to deku if he fought AFO.

[@userunknownxx1]

Honestly, the feeling of it being rushed is why I basically dropped the series. I say basically because i will probably go back and read from where i dropped it to the ending or just the ending. This feeling of it being rushed however wasn't just towards the end but also in a lot of parts of the story imo. I think that horikoshi could have added multiple short timeskips if a long one wasn't possible. Though I think that the the previous fight that they had with Shigaraki could have allowed a good timeskip of like 1-2 years. Like "it will take a long time for Shigaraki to assimilate AFO's power, so he went into hiding and his underlings separate in different directions thus creating disturbances that would distract the heroes from finding him." Stuff like that would have been simple and given the characters more time to grow.

[@raywilson641]

The manga is definitely moving with speed towards the finish line and I think I know why. Set up and payoff. When MHA began the story was simple. It was about a powerless boy in a world where nearly everyone else had powers who wanted to be a hero. And for a while the story wasn't huge and expansive. Just Deku struggling to adapt to hero training while the league of villains weren't complex at the time. Over time more and more characters start piling up. Everyone at UA as well as the league of villains acquiring a main cast. Coupled with the fact MHA isn't afraid to step away from Deku for a while to explore other characters. On top of the story expanding from UA to becoming a nationwide if not international in its consequences. All of this stuff you have to pay off or else the audience will ask where the plot thread went. Couple that with each weekly release only able to do so much in a handful of pages. The end result is if you have a set time you want to end the manga. Say a year or so. Then your going to spend most of the time paying off set up plot points and not exploring /creating new ones. Which gives it this "race to the finish" feel.

[@kirbo4111]

Yea, that and we’ve always had a loose idea of how long mha was gonna last. Horikoshi has mentioned before his plans for the series to be around 30 volumes or that the pro hero arc back when high end was introduced was about halfway through the story. I can’t say it rushed but the pace has been faster than the first half of the story and I think it’s intentional. It even turned out longer than planned but idk

My two cents is that the story has been going downhill ever since Star and Stripe. After her reveal/death it just kept snowballing imo. Not to mention that Deku's quirk reveals were very rushed, along with Horikoshi now hinting that Toga is attempting to do something with Twice's blood?

[@superkamiguru2576]

Nah. The pacing has been off at least since Mirio randomly got his quirk back/the Dabi reveal

[@drakenastee]

While I don’t have a issue with the pacing (as I’ve been down this road with Bleach and know why it’s being rushed) I feel many don’t like the pacing as it’s essentially wasted opportunities to expand in a arc but Horikoshi himself has chosen to cut it down to just the meat and bone instead of taking its time, now to me it’s not a bad thing as there’s a majority that just want action and not a lot of talking, but to those who want details and all the bells and whistles it just seems extremely wasted story and lore Horikoshi could really go in hard on with chapter after chapter panning them out so it gives those type of readers something to digest, but ultimately it really seems that he just wants this story to end as he’s been doing this for 7 years and while it’s been fun and exciting for weekly chapters I’m sure he’s burned out and wants to move on. Like give the guy some credit he’s done phenomenally with the story which is why i truly don’t see the problem, but I do see and emphasis why it’s upsetting to others and all i can say is maybe we’ll get a Boruto like series after if we are lucky so who knows.

[@scottvgamer1163]

I kind of hope we don’t get a sequel series, mainly because of the fact that no new threat could ever top Shigaraki/AFO (in this series at least). However, it would depend on what the sequel series would be like. If it is more like a slice of life style, that would be nice.

@@scottvgamer1163 Honestly i legit feel the same with what you mean, but at the same time I feel with how the modern genre is with series like Boruto coming out it’s kinda to be expected, like I 100% agree villains like Shigaraki, AFO, Dabi, Toga etc..they all have a huge impact which if they were to take that element away then it would be extremely dull, however I feel if done right (like Vigilantes) they could really do something good with it or bring in a new generation of villains that are inspired by the big names, like it can be done but I also believe it’s kinda obvious it will follow that path as MHA is one of the most popular series of current shonen and makes money so it in theory would makes you continue the branch by expanding the horizon of the franchise.

It's not about not having any more ideas. That's not even what a rushed story is. A rushed story is a story that has more plot points and aspects to explore, but the author is glossing over them in order to finish the story faster than it naturally should be finished. The story feels rushed because horikoshi had too many ideas, not too few, and he's not fleshing them out all the way.

Overreacting, this happens EVERYTIME GUYS!!!!! Whenever a beloved manga/anime is near the end, what is the main things we say "feels rushed, I didn't like the ending" etc etc etc. I get it guys, we all want the story in which we are reading to have a perfect ending so that we can re-read it and be like wow, it's so perfect. But, that's never gonna happen. As for me, I don't mind if we have just have a good ending. I'm just enjoying the ride of the story. Maybe Hirokoshi is being pressured to finish it or maybe (most likely) it's just us as fans who overreact when the ending of a manga ends. Heck, I won't be surprised if One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen ending/final arc is met with a lot of complaints that the ending is bad/rushed. So guys, forget about having the perfect ending, just enjoy what you have. I love Attack On Titan ending (couple flaws) but, its still a goddamn masterpiece of a story. Bleach is my fav manga of all time and while I can def recognise some of its flaws, I still love it. My Hero Academia when it ends I will still love it. So there, that's my whole opinion on the matter

[@moonday5521]

5 Months later, having read the chapters and am now re-watching some of the anime to prepare for season 6, it made me realize it wasn't so much the story rushing things, but it was part of the story that people had to rush to put things together before AFO could become too powerful, if they had time to breathe it would be too late. Really looking back on it, the state of the show already was pretty fast paced, Deku was going pretty ham with OFA even 3 months in, taking into consideration what things have been like leading into the war arc and the absolute destruction of society as a whole... This is absolutely necessary, they needed to step up and jump right into the danger. It of course makes the story feel like it's rushing to a conclusion and it definitely is, but the feeling I am getting from it now from a fresh perspective is that the stakes demand them to finish this now, when they aren't in their prime. Life has a funny way of doing that too, throwing you into shitty situations you weren't ready for, and I look back on those times in my life as hectic and seemingly small blips but they felt like long periods of time. I believe this is what the Mangaka is trying to portray in this sense, their coming of age was supposed to be as Seniors, but it needs to happen now because their circumstances demand it. War and evil wait for no one.

[@oneeyedking7278]

The story reached it's peak for me when All Might raised his fist after beating afo. There have been some great moments such as Todoroki's father's arc (forgot his hero name lol), the bunny hero's extreme battle with the Nomus, and the death of Midnight. After that, I've really lost interest in the story. Oh, Shigaraki's backstory arc was really well done as well!!

[@Nerwrax15]

I'm of the opinion that MHA isn't being rushed, we jusy say that as fans simply want MORE of My Hero Academia. We wanted to see more of the world outside japan, we wanted to see all 3 years of 1A. We wanted 1 arc dedicated to each of Deku's new quirks being unlocked etc etc. We want MHA to go the length of something like Naruto, but i'm not gonna hold that against Horikoshi if that was never his intention. I love the series ergo i want more of course, but let the man tell his story his way. He didn't even expect it to last THIS long in the first place.

[@theeggthatsurvivedhowtobas778]

i personally think th manga is currently better than anything we got within the first few arcs of the series but i feel like its going way too fast. I dont think the second war came out of no where but things are going at a rediculously fast pace. and i agree that the series feels different. it feels like a completley different series imo, i wouldnt neccisarily call that a bad thing tho. The series simply had another "tone" shift except its no where near as noticeable as the shift that occured with the mva arc.

[@UchaNekome]

I think people thinking the series is rushed has more to do with how other manga are rather than how this one was supposed to be. One Piece for example is an amazing series but it's lasted for literally thousands of chapters and other series like Bleach ran it'self into the ground with plots. It's hard to make a series that's super long and not many people pull it off well. I think Maybe Horikoshi is rushing a little but when every other shonen is slow paced and you're used to reading that, rushing a little seems like your in a race car going at high speeds.

[@kirbo4111]

I think there’s some truth to this. Especially since everytime horikoshi says something about the length of mha or it ending. There’s tons of people who think he means the ending of part 1 to the series or leading up to a big timeskip. Now that may very well be the case but I think people definitely expect differently than what was intended

I find it funny that danger sense will not go off if someone was trying to sexually assault you. I know that's not the intent but that actually makes me laugh. On a more serious note. My proplem is still the pace. Dekus is legit yanked through a plothole just so Toga can confess her feelings, he can reject her, and then dip. She never gets to ask the actually important question. She never brings up Twice. Her being able to get passed danger sense (which is hilarious given how you'd think Danger sense would be perfect against someone that can shape shift) isn't really and issue because this is likely going to be the last time they ever interact. I'm not saying I wanted Deku to be the one to fight Toga or whatever. Just saying with how things end up going, there was hardly a point of Deku being there in the first place other than to keep him away from Shigaraki.

While the Dabi reveal has better consequences (which is why is still better imo) the Aoyama one is great for making things even more personal between Deku and AFO. Also, also, while people thought the Dabi reveal wasn't gonna be good because everyone new he was Toya, the traitor one was considered by many fans a scrapped concept because of how long it took to get it. Even I thought : "if Hori wanted a traitor plot line he should have done it sooner, it's impossible he does it now", or "if he does it now there is no way it makes sense why the traitor didn't do anithing for so long". But not only did he do it, and it makes sense why it wasn't talked about for so long, it genuinely caught most people by surprise.

For me MHA feels like Horikoshi came up with an idea for a manga that was really interesting with very interesting socio-political elements that can be explored in the world he created, but unfortunately, either horikoshi or the editors don’t have the patience or imagination to write the type of brilliant story one could write here. The moment I was introduced to the idea that most people have quirks in this world and a few don’t, plus the idea of really cool quirks and seemingly useless quirks that can be excellent if the user has the imagination and dedication to make them useful, I genuinely expected that MHA would have absolutely spectacular fights with Deku leaning on his nerdy obsession with heroes to actually close the gap between how he can use his nerfed strength and against strong villian’s but also the randomness with which people get quirks also excited me particularly with respect to how we could’ve really delved into the anthropology of how villains and viallian quirks came to be defined with Toga playing a very key role as someone that has a quirk that forces them to harm others. There’s such an interesting study of the classism that exists within the heroes of society, the villians and the average joes that don’t really want to use their quirks for hero work or villain (or rather were never pushed by society into the class of villain due to them coming off as non threatening) MHA had the chance to be something as gripping as Attack on Titan in what could’ve been an exploration of the politics of their world buy also would’ve had the luxury of learning from the final failings of AOT and actually stuck its landing. But instead it’s now just a manga that obsessed over the protagonist getting powerful and somehow managed to PLUS ULTRA it’s way to the top of the pile of mid anime that we all had hoped would be the new shonen kings.

I won’t lie Chibi, I think MHA as a whole is ok at best.

However, the MVA and war arcs were the best arcs and I was hoping the next ones would do great as well and yet for the most part, it was just rushed and underwhelming as all hell which really disappointing me and ruined a lot of my enjoyment. There were so many things they could’ve done better than what we got and yet this is the result. The only things I’m genuinely interested in is Dabi vs Todoroki, Shiggy and the rest of the villains causing mayhem soon, and the eventual Deku vs Shiggy. I pretty much love the villains way more than the heroes tbh. Other than that, I unfortunately just don’t care about the rest. The only way they could potentially fix a lot of the problems is if the villains win and the heroes have no choice but to go to another country to train and win later on, which prompts for a few more arcs or a sequel to add a lot more dark factors, mental trauma of the students and especially Deku, more worldbuilding and development.

That the content and situations we are getting on it are not inherently bad perse, They Big problem here is the ridiculous pacing the series has had since the Paranormal Liberation War Arc Ended. Horikoshi is SPEEBLEETZING towars the ending without giving proper attention and development to a lot of the secondary plots of the story. The First Act of the series had more than 90 chapters, The Second Act had more than 200 chapters... By how things are looking The Third Act will have around the same amount of chapters as the first one (with luck). And it's a Huge Disappointment, My Hero Academia now feels like a Big Lake filled with missed opportunities and wasted potential.

I hope things wrap up on a good note. I’m still enjoying it personally but I do understand why some people are not enjoying it.

[@dixcn]

I don’t think my hero’s gotten bad necessarily, I just feel like the bar had just been raised exponentially higher by series like jujutsu kaisen, chainsaw man etc. I feel like my hero is too PG to really compete with the darker age of Shounen and the rushed ending really doesn’t help. Just too many things conveniently lining up to counter how OP shiggy has gotten. Horikoshi kinda written themself into a corner. I mean shiggy straight up copied Mahitos domain expansion this chapter.

[@kirbo4111]

I think it’s just drawing inspiration. Both authors are good friends and love each other’s works. Even then though this seems more similar to akira than jjk. But also Apparently they sat and watched evangelion together one time

[@davidwilson8432]

keep in mind that if we're going to have 9 arcs within final act saga, like in UA beginning and rise of the villains saga, we still have 6 arcs (and i don't imagine that horikoshi would destroy that consistency) there's still time till the last, final chapter, and there's still chapters to fill. we'll just have to wait and see

[@Crispeaks]

We definitely took the fast lane in terms of pacing once MVA concluded. I do think we’re going a little too fast, but if Horikoshi manages to wrap nearly everything up well enough, I’m sure I’ll live. I’ll be a bit underwhelmed, sure, but I’ll still look back and think that this was a good series.

[@Sunnernite]

The simple truth about heroes and villains is "There is no good without evil but evil must not be allowed to flourish." That quote is from the Gray Jedi Code. I think.

[@ksibigowtham]

problem with this war in MHA is that only class 1A, 1B, Shinso, Mei and 3 seniors students. what about the rest of the school? isn't shiketsu also a hero school? where the fuck are they? I'm soo disappointed in MHA, cuz MHA is the only few (Chainsaw man) of the new gen shounen with soo much potential and interesting concepts like basing its story around society. I hope with all my heart that once this ends we get a sequel manga set few years after this events. that too with the current state of shounen jump, Hori can tell much more darker stories. which would be soo cool.

[@mrkingdrago1013]

Lol it's all ways Doom and gloom with you guys first it was Naruto now its Black clover now its MHA

[@tvblue3010]

It’s about time I got to watch this video.

[@jayceallen6530]

A thing i hate is how characters just somehow avoid death. From bakugo getting stabbed in the first war, to jiro tanking AFO’s attack and now bakugo is probably not gonna die this time either. And i hope that this series doesnt keep doing that dumb shit

[@zenfae8373]

Imma be honest, I dropped the manga just after the Captain America woman vs shigaraki. Got bored and I started being watching One Piece

[@xcigoat]

I feel like it's happening like this because it's the end of MHA, and the start of My Hero [something else]. At least I hope so.

[@limelightdebut]

I think so too. This type of rushing the story really reminds me of one piece and naruto just before their time skips. I feel like there are too many unanswered questions especially about Deku that just can’t be addressed in one arc

[@xcigoat]

@@limelightdebut Exactly and Horikoshi is too good of a storyteller to whip out the mastery of 100% this soon. Deku has to experience a heavy loss, which will come in the form of All Might dying, similar to how Nana did for All Might because All Might is going to end up on the battlefield in some way. 1.) All Might has been training and I BELIEVE he has 2-3 minutes left in the tank at least, especially if he's pouring his heart out. Monoma could transport him, but I don't think Aizawa would allow it. 2.) AFO’s warp quirk. I remember he warped Gran Torino in Kamino, so I wondered if All Might is watching nearby and at some point AFO realizes this and tries to warp him and succeeds. As I mentioned before, All Might has been exercising and training in the background. He may be what allows a few heroes to escape in the end. Who knows though lol, I just place high bets that it's not the end of this story entirely. Which

[@limelightdebut]

@@xcigoat idk if you have watched all mights ova but I feel like we are going to get the same thing but with deku instead of all might. Deku going to America, finding a side kick there and when he is ready we will go back to Japan. It would be excellent for the world building. I’m not really interested about who Deku’s dad is but how his ‘reveal’ is going to effect him as a person. Also Inko and one of his close friends( someone like Iida for example)dying is a huge possibility. Like I mentioned in Naruto, jiraya’s death is still mentioned in Boruto like 20 years later. I don’t believe that Deku will deal with so many deaths in terms of few characters

[@xcigoat]

@@limelightdebut True, I consider All Might's death being the only one of actual value, although he will feel guilty for the other lives that are about to be lost too. All of them are important, but All Might’s death will affect Deku the most.

[@MAX-xd4uz]

hey chibi can u review this fantasy manga called Dungeon Meshi? its a very good fantasy story with really good world building and marcille is reeeeaaaaaaal funny

[@Khalid-xc3di]

Considering how much happened in the last 100 chapters, i can definitely see the story ending from this point on. I wouldn't say it's getting rushed and i feel like the author is building up momentum since the paranormal liberation war arc. It's now the final battle and I'm excited to see how it turns out. I just hope there's an proper aftermath before it ends.

[@az639]

I wouldn't say the manga is horrible but it definitly feels off sence the war ended. It feels rushed. It feels like Horikoshi just wants to get done with it so he doesn't have to think about it anymore. When the war ended I thought we are going to see more of the world because of the time Shigaraki needs to recover (I tought it will be at least a few years not bearly a few month). I tought the kids would go to differents parts of the world as exchange students to get stronger without having to worry about the villains. I also tought it would take at least a year to bring Deku back and that he would have a bigger and permament change in his mental state and how he sees heros. Also I think Horikoshi is not making the right desision by not using Eri to help people recover. I know that they don't want her to be involved in stuff like fight but if she can control her quirk it would make sense to make her use it and turn back the people who can't fight because they are too injured of lost a limb. EDIT: Sorry for the spelling mistakes. I'm typing on my phone so I can't correct them and I'm also sleepy because it's 3am.

[@jeffreyali1456]

I feel the same, MHA is ok, not bad but not great either. There were just so much potential not utalized and just made so many things underwhelming and rushed to the point where it took a major hit on my interest. The only thing keeping me here is the villains and my curiosity to see it end. If the villains win and the students have not choice but to go to different countries, that will open up some possibilities to fix the many problems, but I really doubt that will happen

[@saito7619]

I feel the same i thought After War arc we will see more of overseas with deku leaving japan like all might and deku will be solo for a long Time before class A reach him i would love too we see more villains overseas (like thé Friend of all for one or japan villain from tartorus leaving japan for overseas ) and many class A characters waste potential i would love an arc with kaminari ,tokoyami ,tsuyu that got a développement like kirishima ...and just After all of that last arc with afo shiggy Heroes from overseas japan Heroes etc...

[@jeffreyali1456]

@@saito7619 And more depth on the mental trauma of everyone but unfortunately we got the bare minimum

[@tangroro]

This is the 3rd week I didn't read the newest chapter, it's sad to see this series was once the center of my life, and it fell from grace so hard. Horikoshi promised us so much and he's just gonna end MHA before he delivers any I loved how 1A was handled, they were side characters and don't take too much time away the main cast, but they also take turns to be in the spotlight and the focus of the arcs, like Todoroki, Iida, Mineta, Momo, Kirishima, and Jirou etc. But now MHA's ending and half the class never got any development yet, even Tsu never got an arc dedicated to her, and she's one of the most popular character. So now it just looks like they're characters that never deserve any time to begin with Same with the villains, we'll never get to see the return of Gentle or Rappa, Stain's rematch, reunion with Lady Nagant, Overhaul's apology, or even 1A's revenge on Mignight's killer, which could've been a great arc in itself. Worst is MLA, they got took out off screen, which wouldn't be a problem if they're gonna return in the future, but now MHA's ending so Horikoshi literally just threw away these characters, it's such a waste for villains like Redestro and Geten I used to praise MHA for sticking to its worldbuilding, it's great to see a Shounen that teenagers aren't the center of the world, and the adults are still the one who save the day, and they would rather die first than send kids to fight. But now MHA's ending, we'll never get to see 1A in 2nd or 3rd year, where they're trusted to fight at the front line or on mission, so it's laughable how the Overhaul Arc is the only arc that the students are actually important and can fight Worst is all the character arcs and developments that just began and the series is already ending. It's embarrassing how Toga never had a real conversation with Deku, so this might be her first and last proper interaction with him, like what the hell? The only way this seires isn't completely ruined is if there's a part 2, if Deku lost OFA and AFO was defeated, then the story can still continue with Dabi, Toga, Spinner, or even new villains. I don't see how MHA can end with a war

[@animeato7865]

i havent read the past 8 or so chapters since the aoyama reveal I think nows the time to finally catch up

[@veraslolyv]

I thought this for a while now, but I don’t think this is the final battle. I feel like deku is going to lose again, he’s going to hesitate when the hero’s tell him to kill shiggy but he won’t do it since he wants to save him, leading to a major character death.but not without some minor victories, like maybe toga switching to the hero’s side since she wants to be like deku and uraraka, and I hope that if the todoroki family stuff gets wrapped up here, endeavor has to join shoto, and he might die? Not sure. Deku will probably lose an arm since hori has been hinting at it for a while now with the art of deku posing with a mechanical arm of sorts, and then the newer art with him and shiggy and shiggy is holding his arm. I do believe that while deku is out of Commission shiggy or AFO will go to UA and kill All Might maybe.(at this point he never gonna die lmao) Just my thoughts

[@jeffreyali1456]

If the villains do win, that would be great

[@scottvgamer1163]

Don’t really have much to say about say about the situation. To me, it is a little more rushed than it probably should (at least with the buildup to this confrontation), but I don’t think that necessarily makes it “bad”. Aside from the ones that are most definitely be resolved, I can’t really think of any plot points that have been “glossed over” that NEED any or much more attention than they’ve already gotten. Personally, I still love MHA. I can overlook any issues it has because I’m not the type of person to focus on the negatives (this even applies to the anime version as well).

[@Lenny293]

My biggest problem with the mha manga is that we are speed-running which should be the most interesting part of the story. A world ruled by villains should be really explored in depth. Not to say villian hunt was not a good arc I just wish we got more time with it. It would have been really cool to see Deku forge his own vigilante group with Stain, Gentle, and maybe even Koichi from vigilantes and have a conflict with AFO, his subordinates, the 1-A students trying to hunt down deku, and the rouge successor of All Might. I also don’t love how we are in another war within less than 100 chapters. Now that’s not say whats in the manga is bad. Aoyamas reveal was incredible and really did throw me and the community for a loop with the Toru fake out and despite it not having any lasting consequences so far the star and stripe fight was arguably the best in the series. I personally just wish we got a little more breathing room between the two biggest battles in the series.

[@jeffreyali1456]

The fake out was interesting but that had problems and was rushed as well. VH for the first half was good but the second half really underwhelmed me, besides the apology and the speech
