Since its release in 2016, My Hero Academia continues to chart a meteoric ascension. Dovetailing in part with the popularity of the MCU, MHA explores an alternative version of Earth where about 80% of the population has a superpower, or as it’s known in the show, a “quirk.” When the series opens, the protagonist and middle school student Izuku Midoriya is one of the few without powers until a fateful meeting with the world’s greatest hero, All Might, gives him powers of his own. In the wake of this newfound gift, Izuku enrolls at UA High to hone his newfound abilities. Despite an overarching good versus evil battle, MHA is much more focused on the daily lives of the UA High students and their respective friendships, struggles, and victories. With compelling themes and kinetic action, the popularity of the anime is well-earned.
