Training intensifies in the second My Hero Academia volume, a 208-page paperback that follows straight on from the opening book. The cast of classmates widens considerably here.
Shonen series typically use their second volume to move from premise to ensemble, and that is what happens: rivals emerge, instructors set exercises with real consequences, and the lead's limitations become the driving problem. Horikoshi's panel work keeps fight sequences legible while packing them with detail. Anyone picking this up without volume one will be missing the setup that gives the stakes their weight.
Notable points:
• Second volume, continuing from book one
• 208 pages of illustrated story
• Expands the supporting cast of students and teachers
• Standard right-to-left manga presentation
Aimed at readers aged fourteen and above who are following the series, published by Simon & Schuster India and available from Boipoka.
