The mere fact that they use terms like "silver age" is a big part of why I love stuff like this. Assuming it's not just a translator thing, I mean.

Yeah I hope it's from the actual mangaka and not from scanlators.
Also Frog Girl is love, Frog Girl is life.
ONE OF US. ONE OF US.
I certainly hope he doesn't die yet, he still needs to grow closer to all the students so avenging him if he dies later on gets real weight. I'm expecting him to win but be really hurt and forced to reveal his true identity to a few of the students.
I love this thread if for no reason but it lead me to read and finish Onepunch-Man.
That was great. Highly rendered action with quirky humor.
Infinity girl best girl
But frog girl is really close behind.
I just saw the sprite work of her that someone posted on NF (bless Wolfarus). Now I need a fighting game of this series or I'll never be happy.
Yep Kacchan is an asshole. Died when I saw his thought process though
Now that I look at this, the design really reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes:

I figure this is very relevant to the thread title.....
Says Naruto as he gets a third series coming spring 2015.

By importing and hand-translating the manga ourselves, naturally.
Just do a search for "read manga" or something like that.

What Manga app should I use? This seems rather interesting and I would like to read while commuting to school.
WHAAT! We need open up Naruto thread again man. I'm missing news
I thought it was just a mini-series
Deku/Infinity Girl 4Ever =P
It's not even a competition at this point.
Frog Girl, however, will be the one to tame the wild Kacchan.

That'd be cool. I really do like the setup we've got now, where he's relying on his Awesomeness by Analysis to compensate for his tendency to tear his own body apart. Feels very unique.
Haha! Can you imagine? Fanfavorite girl with the jerkass character, I wonder if the manga is actually going to give some room for romance.
Yep! I kinda wish Deku gets a hold of his powers soon, since if he keeps damaging himself without a tangible repercussion it might hurt the story a little bit, in my opinion. Unless the point is to nerf him because of a constantly degrading body, who could be awesome for storytelling.

I think that's the point, yeah. He's got a power level totally out of proportion with the rest of the cast (sans All Might, of course, and that freaky guy who shrugged off his punch), which is cool for a side character but kind of unwieldy for a protagonist. Unless he's got some kind of incredibly harsh limiter, he'd just be roflstomping everybody. Having him constantly injure himself is a much better way of going about that than most I've seen, especially in Shonen, where they tend to take "limiter" rather literally

Hehe, yeah! It also helps that he is such a likable guy, so when he hurts himself you actually care for him and it means a lot, since he literally sacrifices himself for the sake of others.
I feel like he's also going to have his own "limiter" in place in the sense that he's the kind of person who is going to always hold back unless absolutely necessary. Could actually be a neat arc if they eventually have to address him dealing with being a man of steel living in a world of paper.
Also, I guess as far as romance goes, I think I'd just be cool if he and Gravity Girl just have a natural relationship that never really acts as the focus for the series, since that'd seem more fresh.

Yeah. World of Cardboard is definitely a fun trope.*
The gold standard of Shonen relationships is (for me) Sena and Suzuna in Eyeshield 21. It just sort of... evolves, organically. Never feels like it's elbowing its way in front of the main plot, but it ends up being a big part of both characters regardless.

Please! I love good romance stories. <3
Also, this represents the Votes that a Series got 7 Chapters ago. (I thought i would be nice to point that out too
)Worm is pretty good, though, its not really about school stuff and is tonally different than My Hero Academia.
I should really finish up on it. I was keeping up while it was still updating, took a break, and got spoiled on the ending, so I haven't finished reading the last arc.
Hmm, thinking about it are there any good superhero mangas aside from this and One Punch Man.
The only other one I can kind of think of is Hero Mask and only 3 chapters were ever translated over a year ago.

The art is great. Gonna start reading it later today, thanks for the recommendation, OP!
Also, seems like it is impossible to have manga/anime related threads without this best girl crap nowadays.
Edit: Funnily this best girl thing actually makes some sort of sense in this manga. lol. I am enjoying it, chapter 5 so far.

Oh man, the newest chapters are so hype.
Even Kacchan gets a chance to be awesome.
From what I've heard, it's apparently not left the top 5 since it started getting ranked. Going to guess by its popularity that it'll have an anime within a year or so.

Seems interesting enough. I'll take a look at this when I get the chance.
I read a random chapter just for shits and giggles, and it had 2 dudes fightings and it was horrible. The art has regressed so much, lots of random blacks in the panels, shitty composition. Kubo just doesn't give a fuck anymore.

Lottahands McVillainface sure became one of the creepier villains I've seen in a while real quick. He has real potential to be a great villain.
Also trying to kill Frog Girl means insta-top tier villain status. How dare he.

This manga is making me happy. I can't wait to read more. Thanks again OP!!!
I'm seriously betting those hands are either
His restraints (like a straight jacket)
Or tied to his power
The first one scares me more because he could be absolutely devastating.

I'm hoping it's the second; the lack of any sort of literal power limiters is one of the things I
like about the series thus far.
Yeah, I'd say it's possible. Not for a while, though. It'd have more impact after we've spent more time with them.

Boko no Hero Academia 14-18
Asui Tsuyu (Frog Lady) Her character... personality.... abilities

I also like how the main protag stops becoming goofy when things get serious
Their strategy in the water area was neat
The violence gets somewhat brutal in some scenes... it doesn't look realistic but it just looks more painful compared to other Shonens over the top violence (Eraser heads arm)
Might Guy being pissed is was nice... sadly his powers have truly weakened
(still all those kids now jumped in)
After reading these chapters I am 100% for a team revision where the protags main team is the frog girl and the ball head kid.... the series is just way more amusing with them around and that team chemistry

I hope the author tones down the ball head kid's constant need to grope the female heroes.
Agreed. Pandering!

yeah I also think that too much of that will get old..... but his over the top whining is nice

Read through 21, just couldn't help myself. This series is awesome. After that first panel with all the actual costumes, I was hyped as hell. Can't wait to see what else is in store!
