My Hero Academia Vol. 26: Volume 26

Product Information

Last volume, we got a terrifying and sympathetic look into Tomura Shigaraki’s background and origin story. Kind of makes me want to go back to reading Vigilantes since he makes an appearance there, but I have to worry about tackling one thing at a time. His name popped up in MHA (and he was shown from behind), but you get his full story in the Vigilantes spin-off series.

The students and readers know that though he puts up an intimidating front, Todoroki is a struggling kid like everyone else.I've said before that these volumes always seem to collect arcs in weird ways, but I guess it's just an ongoing thing to deal with.

Just as the manga artist decides the term of employment and what tasks the assistant will be working on, a hero builds unique relationships with each sidekick!After getting into a small accident with a villain trying to take Natsuo, the father-son duo express their feelings. Tener que ir a Vigilantes para tener un mínimo de contexto de quién es Shirakumo es estresante, especialmente si vas a hacer de su personaje parte de un giro tan importante.

There's a great balance between humour and tragedy in this volume as our heroes learn new knowledge regarding their abilities and try and establish new goals as they approach their 2nd year. Horikoshi focuses on displaying Endeavor’s actions and the people who had to live through them, giving the characters the agency to shun their father’s attempts to fix their relationship.PS: but I admit I'd read the cute boy's love fanfics on Ao3 first before I even started reading the manga series or watching the anime!
