If you're doing a chronological read-through of everything MHA, I'd insert Team Up Missions Vol 3 after Chapter 257 of the main manga. That's a specific take, but it's where the tone and character development feel most consistent. You get a break from the heavy plot, enjoy some team-ups, then dive back into the rising action. It works as a pacing tool.

It's interesting because it raises the question of what 'canon' means for a school-based series. Is every class lecture canon? Every lunch period? 'Team-Up Mission' implies that yes, these specific exercises are noteworthy enough to document. It's picking particular days from the school calendar and saying 'this happened.' That's a fun conceit. Volume 1 feels like picking up a yearbook with extra commentary. You get the official photo (the main plot) and then the candid shots and stories from friends (the spinoff). Both contribute to the memory of the year. One is the official record; the other is the lived experience.

For anime-only fans wondering: The anime has covered material up through the Paranormal Liberation War. 'Team Up Mission' Vol. 3 is set before that war. So, if you've seen through season 6, you're safe to read this volume without spoilers. In fact, it'll feel like a flashback to a simpler time at U.A.
It slots into the timeline around what the anime covered in season 5—after the Joint Training arc but before the war preparations begin. It's a nice, low-stakes addition that lets you spend more time with the characters in their school environment, which the anime rushes through sometimes.

It's perfect for younger readers who find the main series too intense or complex. The violence is minimal, the conflicts are easily resolved, and the morals are clear. In that sense, it connects by serving as a gateway product. A kid might start with Team-Up Missions, fall in love with the characters, and then graduate to the main series. It expands the demographic reach of the franchise. Volume 2 is another safe, accessible entry point. This functional role within the brand's strategy is a vital, if unspoken, connection to the series' overall ecosystem and longevity.

My two cents: The main series is about the making of the greatest hero. The spin-offs are about the world that hero lives in. 'Team-Up Missions' is a world-building spin-off. It shows the daily grind of hero work that isn't world-saving. That's a canon concept, even if the specific missions aren't. So it's contributing to the canon of the world's mechanics, if not the canon of the specific plot. It's world-canon, not story-canon.

From a pure enjoyment standpoint, you'll get more out of it if you've seen through season four. The dynamics between characters like Bakugo and his temporary teammates play better when you understand his growth up to that point. The series expects you to know who everyone is and what they've been through, including the fallout from the big fights in season four.
So while the events might be concurrent, the required knowledge is definitely post-season four. Treat it as a delightful dessert after finishing the main course of that season.

The anime adaptation of this volume's content is in Season 5, episodes 17-19 or so? I'd have to check. But the point is, the anime's filler and recap episodes can distort the perception of timeline pacing. In the manga, this section reads much faster. So its place in the reading timeline feels more natural and less padded than its place in the anime viewing timeline.

My two cents: it connects through theme. The main series is largely about the societal and personal cost of being a hero.
These team-up missions are about the joy and camaraderie of being a hero. They explore the positive aspects of the job that keep people like All Might and Deku going despite the pain. That balance is crucial to understanding the series' message. You can't have the darkness without the light to contrast it. Volume 2 provides that light. It shows why being a hero is worth it—the successful rescues, the grateful civilians, the bonds formed with colleagues. That's a vital part of the overall canon's emotional tapestry.

From a fan theory perspective, volume 33 is where a lot of long-standing predictions either came true or were brutally subverted. Its placement in the timeline is the 'checkpoint' for fan speculation. Did your favorite theory about a character's quirk evolution or a villain's plan pan out? This volume is often where you find out.
It's a community milestone as much as a narrative one.

You could almost split the series into 'Before Forest Training' and 'After Forest Training.' Vol 10 is the 'Before.' It's the final exam of their initial innocence. After this, the villains' war escalates dramatically.
