An overview of the manga series My Hero Academia is provided below:
Midoriya Izuku is bullied by his classmates, each of which has a unique talent, forcing him to face this fact. Izuku is one of the extremely odd people that lacked a superpower from birth.
Despite this, he never stops striving to fulfill his dream of being an outstanding superhero like “All-Might.” He plans to enroll in Yueiko, which he thinks is the most esteemed “hero academy” the country has to offer, in order to be able to fulfill this dream.

Synopsis
The My Hero Academia events take place in a world where most individuals have learned how to develop abilities known as “Quirks” (, Kosei). Around 80% of people on the planet are said to have at least one Quirk, and these abilities often manifest in kids before the age of four. There are countless peculiarities, and it is quite rare to find two people with the exact same power, unless they are closely related to one another. The exceptions include circumstances where two people have the same parent. Because they assist the government in rescue missions and the capture of criminals who abuse their talents and are more commonly referred to as Villains, a small percentage of those who have been gifted a Quirk are given the title of Hero. The humans with quirk enhancements may include heroes. Moreover, Heroes who perform admirably in their jobs are promoted to the status of “Pro Heroes” (, Puro Hr), which is Japanese for “famous.” Most heroes’ popularity is mostly influenced by their rank, with higher-ranking heroes enjoying greater public appeal. It is not unheard of for newcomer heroes to to acquire such a level of fame, though.
