My Hero Academia was originally created by Kohei Horikoshi in 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without powers who lives in a world where everyone else has powers. Midoriya dreams of becoming a superhero anyway and is scouted by the world’s best hero All Might, and eventually enrolls in a school for professional heroes.
