My Hero Academia - Smash #1

Published by Ki-oon in 2022, this first volume of My Hero Academia Smash launches the comedic spin-off series with an irresistibly energetic cover — a beaming, chibi-style Deku takes center stage in his school uniform, surrounded by a lively constellation of fan-favorite characters including All Might, Bakugo, Todoroki, and several classmates rendered in their most adorably exaggerated forms. The vibrant yellow background and bouncy character designs by Hirofumi Neda immediately signal that this is the My Hero Academia universe filtered through a wide, playful gag-manga lens. With Kohei Horikoshi credited as the original concept, it's a delightful companion piece for fans of U.A.'s finest — light on stakes and heavy on charm.
