My Hero Academia: School Briefs, Vol. 4

Lorien O'Brien

This book made me uncomfortable several times with the sexual harrassment jokes, and more recently a small story with R-Rated Hero Midnight, were it seemed something along the lines of a rape joke, that she did something to a guy to "make him gay".

None of this is okay. None of this should have been published at all, and I'm disgusted that it was. I may love My Hero Academia, but this shit shouldn't exist anywhere and shame on Anri Yoshi-San, and all the editors and everyone else who looked that that and agreed that this was okay. This isn't okay to publish anywhere in the world. I can barely stand Mineta's presence, because he is SO wrong. I appreciated when the mangaka took time to warn people that what he does is wrong, and that if you tried anything like what he says and does you will face a court room. But it's not enough. Characters facing that punishment, and that being the only thing that happens should be the only story told with someone who sexually harrasses someone. These characters and moments should not exist. It's not fucking funny. It never fucking was.

As soon as I heard there was an addition to the My Hero Academia series, I raced to the store to pick up the latest stories!

School Briefs allows readers and fans of BNHA/MHA to delve deeper into the world and characters, as it leads us on a day-to-day basis of their lives outside of school. It gives us insight into their activities and likes/dislikes, as well as things that might trouble or challenge them.

Something I really liked about this novel, in particular, was that it really did build upon events in the manga and anime. It gave key information to the scenes behind the scenes that build the characters even further than we could've imagined.

However, I will admit that I felt this novel was lacking in some ways. I felt that the stories weren't as developed as they could've been and that they were almost immature for the characters. I felt that there could've been bigger plots added in and/or expanded upon.

All in all, I did enjoy the addition to the series. I just wished we could've had a little more than what we were given. For that, I rate this 3 stars.

Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world’s greatest hero, but greatness won’t come easy. Prose short stories featuring the everyday school lives of My Hero Academia’s fan-favorite characters. Midoriya, Ida, and the rest of class A will be cohabitating once they move into the new dorms, “Heights Alliance.” As class president and one who hopes to become as spectacular a hero as his brother, Ida will have to lead the class and enforce law and order during their dorm days—no matter what anyone else thinks!
