I love how it doesn’t ignore the pro heroes. The section on the top heroes and teachers is fantastic. Seeing the subtle differences in All Might’s Silver Age costume versus his later one, the practical yet stylish design of Best Jeanist’s denim, or the ominous, ceremonial look of Endeavor’s helmet—it builds out the history of the world.
It implies a whole design language for different hero generations and agencies. Edgeshot’s ninja-inspired outfit versus Mirko’s bold, minimalist look tells you about their approaches to hero work. The book positions character design as a key part of the world's history and culture, not just a visual for the main cast.

The commentary, while brief, is gold. Horikoshi comes across as incredibly humble and hard on himself, often joking about his own mistakes or how a design was a pain to draw every week. He'll point out a tiny flaw in a published piece that no one else would ever notice. It adds a layer of humanity to the whole epic production. You see the artist behind the icon.

The 'What If?' scenarios are fun, if non-canon. There’s an exclusive page imagining characters with swapped Quirks. Bakugo with Kirishima’s hardening, looking confused as he tries to make an explosion and just gets a rocky fist. Iida with Uraraka’s Zero Gravity, zooming into the air uncontrollably. They’re playful and show a deep understanding of how the Quirks and personalities normally interact. It’s the kind of content that sparks fan discussions and fanart of its own. It invites the reader to play in the sandbox the creator built.

Actually, let me check my shelf... Yeah, I have the first box set. The 'bonus' was a poster that's basically a blown-up version of the box art. It's nice, but it's not 'content' you engage with. It's wall decoration. The books themselves have the occasional bonus pages at the end—like author notes or rough sketches—but those are in every individual volume, not exclusive to the set.
So the answer is a pretty firm no. The value proposition is financial and organizational, not experiential in terms of new narrative. It's a great deal for someone who wants to own the whole saga without hunting down each book, but it won't give you a new story to read.

The sketches of the lesser-known pro heroes and side characters are a deep cut. You get design sheets for heroes like Midnight, Mt. Lady, and Best Jeanist that go into incredible detail about their costume functionality and personal style. There are even concepts for heroes who only appear in background panels, showing an insane level of world-building. Horikoshi seems to design every single person in his world with a potential story in mind. It makes the universe feel vast and alive.

My sibling got me the art book for my birthday, and I spent hours just on the two-page spread of All Might. The guidebook I bought myself on a whim. The emotional attachment is different. One feels like a cherished gift, the other like a useful purchase. That's not a quality judgment, just an observation on how these different objects can enter our lives and collections in different ways.

The art for the movie 'Two Heroes' is in there too, right? Or is that in a separate book? I think it might be separate. This one is purely manga art. The movies got their own art collections, which are also fantastic but harder to find in English.

From a collector's standpoint, yes, the tankobon volumes contain exclusive content not found in the weekly magazine serialization. This includes omake manga, author comments, and occasionally promotional art for anime seasons or movies. It's part of the complete package.

After seeing the movie 'World Heroes' Mission,' I went back to the art book to see if there were notes on the character Delta. There's a single sketch with a note about making her look 'powerful but not villainous.' It was a cool connection that enriched both the book and the movie for me.

The sheer volume is overwhelming. Beyond the obvious heroes and villains, they profile people you might forget, like the U.A. teachers from other departments or the heroes from the licensing exam arc.
You get full-body illustrations from multiple angles, breakdowns of costume evolution, and trivia about quirk limitations. It's the kind of deep dive that makes you appreciate the world-building. For a series with hundreds of named characters, these books are the only way to keep track of everyone's details without constantly re-reading the manga.
