My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, Vol. 1
In a superpowered society, there is nothing ordinary about evil anymore. Heroes, trained and licensed to protect and defend the public against supervillains, stand above all the rest. Not everyone can be a hero, however, and there are those who would use their powers to serve the people without legal sanction. But do they fight for justice in the shadows, or for reasons known only to themselves? Whatever they fight for, they are called...vigilantes.
Koichi Haimawari couldn’t make the cut to become an official hero, so he uses his modest Quirk to do good deeds in his spare time. Then one day a fateful encounter with some local thugs leads him to team up with two other unlikely heroes. None of them really know what they’re doing, but they’ve got the courage—or foolishness—to try. But they soon discover fighting evil takes more than just being brave…

It's a Interesting Concept
This manga in my opinion has shown great potential to run along the main my hero timeline, it's obvious there could be a way as in the tv show the flash how heros from other series accidentally and not accidentally end up needing each other and or fighting each other before they learn the other sides reasoning.But currently this book has just the right ammount of action thrill and downtime too make good book/manga, i think that this series COULD become marginally better then the main series.
Not appropriate for kids
WARNING * PORNagraphic images. If you are like me and just grabbing My Hero Academia stuff because it's on a family members xmas list, then you wouldnt know this stuff is so awful. From the cover art, I figured it was age appropriate for the 12 yr old that requested it. After getting it in the mail and seeing the back cover I knew immediately it was going back! Buyer beware! Skip to next item on their list and leave this for the adults 😬
A Slow Start to a Spinoff to MHA
I'll admit that I'm a fan of the My Hero Academia franchise and thought I'd give the Vigilante series a good read from the very beginning. I'll admit that the My Hero Academia Vigilantes Volume 1 is edgier compared to it's counterpart with a darker theme and more action/fighting scenes in it with the additional background to the World of Quirks, the Hero System, and behind the scenes look to some of the Pro Heroes and Detectives we all know and love. That's in addition to the fine fan service found with Pop Star and All Might Quirkless counterpart Knuckle Duster. With that being said, it's a little too dark for my personal taste and did drag on with the last two chapters.
Awesome Spin-off to MHA series!
I saw this Manga appear when I was searching for My Hero Academia merchandise and figured I would give it a shot. This is actually is one of the first manga's I have read as I usually just watch anime's but I just loved watching MHA so much that I wanted to experience the mangas as well. I am SO GLAD I did too because while MHA Vigilantes is written by another author and the art is drawn again by another artist it appears that this project has Horikoshi's (the creator of MHA) blessing and they really knock it out of the park! From the story telling to the artwork it all just fits into the MHA weekend so well. Not to mention I am a huge fan of the three new main caharacters! Can't wait to see them all again in volume 2! Knuckleduster, The Crawler and PopStep all the way!
Well done side story; if you need more My Hero Academia buy this!
I'm probably in the minority in that I haven't never seen the main anime and have only read the manga collections. Once I finished the last volume available I really wanted more My Hero Academia and found out this side story existed. Since the books are very reasonably priced I decided to pick this up. It's everything I wanted. Fun powers, a good story, nice set up for future editions. Also, I love the grumpy, beer drinking Batman. The quality of the book itself is exactly would you expect from other VIZ manga books.
This is the best original concept from MHA
I just love the artwork, the story line, and all the characters I hope it’ll become an anime because it’s so good. If you’re a true fan of my hero academia and your tired of waiting fo the next my hero academia volume to come out read this while your waiting I’m exited for the next one!!!!!!!
Could not put the book down!
Such a cool manga to read, I saw it at my local comic shop but didn't have the first volume so I ordered it here and must say if you are my hero fan or just a manga reader fan this one is a great pick up! pretty much read the whole book in one sitting when it arrived and the book came in perfect condition!
Interesting
I love My Hero Academia and while shopping for one of those books I came across My Hero Vigilantes. Since I had to wait for my My Hero Academia Manga to come in I decided to read this one. I really liked it, and can’t wait to see what happens next. This first book I found to be kind of slow, but hope it will pick up in the next book. Overall, I enjoyed it.
Be careful if this is for a anyone younger than a teen.
I'm sure the book is fine, but I need to return it because the back photo is not appropriate for my 11 year-old. Thats my fault for not being vigilant, so its of no fault to the publisher. With anime, I should know better!
Amazing!!!
If you love My hero academia and your looking to go deeper into the world and see what was going on before this is a must read! This is my first manga ever. I traditionally watch anime but i feel in love with my hero so much that I wanted to read the manga as well and explore what else the world had to offer. This definitely was the manga I was looking for and I can’t wait for vol 2 to drop in October!!
