Let's not forget the environmental angle, maybe? Buying a box set likely uses less packaging overall than 20 separate volumes shipped individually. And it's one production run instead of 20.
For the eco-conscious collector, that might be a small point in its favor. Less plastic wrap, fewer cardboard sleeves. It's a more consolidated way to own a large chunk of the series with a marginally smaller footprint. Just a thought.

Some online retailers in the UK had a 'Season 1' bundle a few years back, but it was just Volumes 1-4 shrink-wrapped together. It wasn't an official Viz product with unique ISBN or anything, just a bookstore promotion. Those are the closest you'll find, and they're rare. Most of the time, you're looking at the standard worldwide releases: individual volumes or the two big box sets. If you're on a budget, check your local library. Many library systems have the entire run of My Hero Academia volumes. You can read the arcs that correspond to your favorite seasons without spending a dime, and then decide later which volumes you love enough to buy permanently.

The paper used for the cover might have a different texture. The Japanese cover might have a matte finish with spot gloss, while the English might be fully glossy. It changes how the colors pop and how it feels in your hand. A collector who owns both will immediately feel the difference when picking them up, even with their eyes closed.

You know, I see this pop up in collector groups a lot. People are always trying to complete their shelves. For the main manga series in English, there have been three box sets released so far. The first collects volumes 1-20, the second covers 21-30, and the third box set has volumes 31-40. They're super nice, with full-color poster sheets and the boxes themselves have great art.
If you're buying, just be aware the first set can go out of stock and get pricey from resellers. They're definitely the most cost-effective way to get a big chunk of the series, though. No official word on a fourth set yet, since the manga is still ongoing past volume 40. It'll probably happen once enough volumes are out to fill another box.

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.

Ignore the spin-offs initially. Just get the main series Box Set 1. The story is linear and heavily serialized; jumping around will confuse you. 'Vigilantes', 'Team-Up Missions', and the light novels are for after you're invested in the world and the characters.
Box Set 1 takes you from the beginning through the Provisional Hero License Exam. It's a complete major phase of the story. The transition from middle school Deku to a licensed (if provisional) hero is a huge character milestone. Seeing that journey in a continuous block, without waiting for releases, is the most satisfying way to experience it.

I've been a book collector for years, and 'Unlimited Power' by Tony Robbins is one of those titles that pops up in different editions depending on where you look. In the US, it was originally published by Simon & Schuster, which gave it a wide reach. Over in the UK, the book was handled by Random House, now part of Penguin Random House. I remember stumbling upon a Spanish edition published by Grijalbo, a subsidiary of Penguin Random House as well, which shows how global this book became. It's fascinating how a single title can have such varied publishers across regions, each bringing their own touch to the cover designs and sometimes even the translations.

The third box set is up for pre-order in some places, covering the Paranormal Liberation War arc. That's going to be a beast of a read. Pre-orders are usually safe—retailers like Amazon don't charge until it ships, and you often lock in the lowest price between order and release. For a hot item like that, pre-ordering guarantees you a copy from the first printing batch. I've already got my alert set up at RightStuf for when it goes live.

Honestly, the biggest setup might be for All Might's retirement. We've seen him cough blood before, but here his physical degradation is tied directly to a strategic failure. He couldn't be there. That helplessness, more than any fight, shows him that his time is over. It prepares the reader emotionally for the inevitable passing of the torch, which happens in the very next story arc. The volume makes his retirement feel like a necessary consequence of the plot, not just a dramatic beat.
