僕のヒーローアカデミア
In a world where superpowers are the norm, one Quirkless boy dares to dream big. With heart-pumping action and hilarious humor, his journey to become a hero begins. If you love underdog stories, this is unmissable.

High School for budding heroes, his life is looking more and more like a dead end.
