Also the Smash gag manga is being localized meaning all spin-offs are being brought all over now (Vigilantes, those school light novels, & now the Smash series).
And to spread some more awareness beyond MHA, Viz is also localizing Beastars (a personal favorite of mine), Komi Can't Communicate (looks like a cute read), & a novel called Automatic Eve (that sounds weirdly interesting).

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Not really a fair comparison since BC is doing a big epic world-ending arc right now compared to this arc being more low-key & character-centric.
I mean the arc before BC’s current one was exactly a low-stakes affair only in a tournament format.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."As with anything, there are a fair number of things you could reasonably criticize this series for.
But if your complaint about a series that told you upfront (in the title even!) that much, or even most, of what was going to happen had to deal with school life, is that they spend too much time dealing with the school, I think that's mostly your problem.

I think the pacing is starting to get to people; its a relatively long arc on what's essentially just a low-stake training montage.
I suppose how much you care about this arc is dependent on how much you like Class B, otherwise I can see why you'd feel it's a waste of time.
A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.Personally, I think this has been a good way to show what they all can do at once, but I don't really think he needed to do that.
I've been enjoying things well enough.
Edit: I do have to say I find it funny that an arc that is probably going to end up only being like 20 or so chapters is "long". And I know you said relatively, but still.

At the very least this arc is almost done & Hell Bakugo’s round is next so ya know it’s gonna be awesome.
Plus he’s most likely getting the win for those dissatisfied with the last match ending in a draw.
Hopefully next arc is like a joint op sorta thing to follow through on all this focus Class B has been getting.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I'm having fun, and I'm sure we'll get back to the more high stakes stuff soon enough. But I'm fine with having a breather, and it's nice to see everyone doing cool stuff and having character moments, in addition to finally getting to see a lot of Class 1-B in action. I hope this will increase their use in fan works.
If pacing's an issue, I suspect the shorter chapters might be at least somewhat to blame here.
Oh God! Natural light!I don't think we'll be getting that right away, no.
I'd love to see it some time in the future, though, and I think that could happen.

Oh God! Natural light!On one hand, I'd definitely like to see more of what class B has to offer, but on the other hand, that would be way too many characters to have running around and I'd much rather have some of the Class A characters get more screentime. I'd take a Momo or Uraraka arc over anything having to do with Class B.
Reaction Image RepositoryOh, agreed 100% there.
I don't mind if the more prominent Class B character get some focus as time goes on, however.
Oh God! Natural light!Basically this for me as well. He hasn't really done much with the "main" 20, so I still remaine puzzled when some people make it sound like 20 more should be getting the same amount of focus. That's also why I'm a bit nervous about Shinso's inevitable entry into the class, even though I'm mostly looking forward to it.
