Yeah.

Read it before the anime came out. The anime's previews interested me enough with its art style. After you've read/watched 100s of Japanese stuff, you get tired of the average



Not that Magi is bad (and the manga's art is pretty good). But it's pretty standard in the character design area. Which is why I fell in love with BnHA in the first place.



And Endeavour (you'll meet him later) has a kickass design




Right now where the manga's at, it's really good. The anime has gone sloooow tho', but it'll work in its favour once the action kicks in.

It's a rising star in Jump, and you can see stuff for it everywhere in Japan. I don't know if it'll reach Naruto tier levels in popularity. That's still left to be seen.

But it's better than NnT in my opinion.

Horikoshi is simply the better writer and doesn't have to rely on cool action scenes to get things really going. That, and the addition of a power system which gives these fights structure outside 'new trump card' makes for a more solid type of shounen.

Also Horikoshi knows how to write female characters.

Which is fucking impossssssible in Japan with just how sexist they are.
