This prequel manga (spanning 15 volumes) by Hideyuki Furuhashi and Betten Court unfolds five years before Izuku Midoriya's journey. Bones Studio's anime adaptation earns praise as "a worthy spin-off" according to IGN's premiere review.
The story follows Koichi Haimawari, a disillusioned college student who abandoned hero aspirations despite living in a Quirk-powered world. After he and Pop☆Step encounter vigilante Knuckleduster, they're drawn into a shadow world of unsanctioned heroism.
