Not bad so far, could be better

Note: As of this review, this manga has 29 chapters.

Plot: Deku is a person who was born without any quirk, but that is quickly solved when All Might decides he has the potential to become a great hero, so he gives him the power. However Deku has a lot of problems controlling the power. Most of the manga is focused on school activities, thus it may sometimes feel boring. An actual villain attack happened in one of the arcs, but it was quickly solved. Overall, the whole series reminds me of the Naruto Chunin Exams. Will the plot pick up later? I don't know. 7/10

Characters: In a truly Onepiecesque fashion, all characters have quirks and interesting personalities. Deku is one of the better shonen protagonists, and his determination would make Naruro jealous. Other stundents are interesting, such as Tsuyu who's incredibly straight-foward. Kacchan is by far the worst character, his personality is basically what it needs to be in the current plot. It can range from psychopath to calm. 9/10

Art: Not bad at all. It's no art masterpiece but the panels are pretty clean. It's basically what you should expect from a shonen jump manga. One thing i've noticed when he drew all shonen jump protagonists is that his characters sometimes tend to look the same. 8/10

Enjoyement: I don't regret reading this manga. Right now it is pretty short and funny. You see Deku's adventure as he enters Yuuei Academy. After he enters the academy, the plot kind of starts stalling. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad read, but at a certain point you kind of get bored of school activities. Even if those school activities are very cool looking. I can't really see where the plot is supposed to go, through. Deku is getting better at controlling his power, Kacchan does whatever the fuck the author wants, and the other characters are just messing around. Even when the villain alliance attacked, the plot still didn't pick up. 7/10

Overall: Technically, the manga is pretty good. There are no huge plot holes, no stupid moments, power creep didn't start yet (wouldn't be surprised if it eventually did). However, there is a lack of big plot twists, or moments so cool you feel like this is the best read ever. Still, this manga is still in its early stages. I'd argue the first 29 chapters of Naruro are better, but it does beat Hunter x Hunter and One Piece for beginnings. 8/10

Well, to be fair, the Zabusa arc is probably one of the best starts to a shonen battle series in over a decade. I'm glad that after Barrage it seems this author will actually get to do the long series he clearly wants to do.
