A story set in a world full of heroes and villains, My Hero Academia follows one boy who was never born with any kind of superpowers and yet still dreamed of becoming the greatest superhero in the world. When Deku unexpectedly receives his idol All Might’s superpower, known as Quirks, called One for All, he also has unknowingly accepted a decades-long conflict against All Might’s nemesis All for One. The storytelling and character development, as well as Horikoshi’s detailed artwork, has made My Hero Academia one of the best-selling manga series with 85 million copies in circulation.

All six seasons of My Hero Academia are available to stream on Crunchyroll. The seventh season airs on May 4.
