My Hero Academia Volume 1 - Izuku Midoriya: Origin / Kohei Horikoshi / 192 pages
In this world, 80% of the population has superpowers known as "Quirks", so heroes and villains are battling everywhere! Izuku Midoriya wants to get into the honorable U.A. High School for young heroes to become just like his role model, All Might-- the greatest superhero of all time. The only problem with that is that Midoriya is one of the 20% born ordinary, or "Quirkless". This, along with his determination to reach his dream, leads to a lot of doubt from authority figures and a lot of bullying from his peers. However, when Midoriya finds himself coming in face-to-face contact with All Might, and then attempts to save a hostage from a public villain when no one else would, All Might is inspired by Midoriya's act and asks him if he would like to have his Quirk, "One for All", passed down to him. Midoriya accepts but is given the Quirk after 10 months of muscle training with All Might first. When he is ready for the new year, he and thousands of other kids must first take a test that determines who can be official students at U.A.: fight a giant robot and/or help your peers-- only 1 in 300 would be able to pass. Saving another peer trapped under a broken piece of robot gives Midoriya enough points to pass; therefore, he gets to be a first-year student at U.A.
