My Hero Academia: Vigilantes

A spin-off manga to My Hero Academia. It follows a young man that uses his insignificant quirk to help clean trash around town who is suddenly thrown into the world of illegal heroes known as vigilantes.

We’ve discussed this on an older episode.

A really decent spin-off. Since manga has decided to go the way of western comics and franchise their most popular series, there have been a lot of subpar comics that are just cashing in. Luckily, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes stands out on it’s own with a really nice art by Betten Court. I do fell bad for the author Hideyuki Furuhashi because he’s limited by events from the main series. Since Vigilantes is set before the events of My Hero Academia, Furuhashi can’t write anything that would break the status quo of all the main stay heroes that make cameos in Vigilantes. In that sense Furuhashi has done a good job of keeping the story fresh and entertaining throughout this book.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes looks like it’s ending soon but I’m glad to see that it had good success as a manga spin-off, which is something you definitely can’t say the same for stuff like Attack on Titan: Junior High.
