Where Should New Readers Start If They Buy My Hero Academia 1 20 Box Set?

Grabbed the My Hero Academia manga 1-20 set but debating if reading in order is best or if any story arcs feel out of sequence for a first-timer.

I lent my box set to a cousin, and he started with the 'Heroes: Rising' promo chapters in one of the later volumes because he thought they were the start. He was so confused when he later tried to read the actual story. Moral of the story: the table of contents is your friend. Ensure you’re reading the main series chapters in order, from volume 1 onward.

Think of it as a TV show on DVD. You wouldn’t pop in disc 3 first. You’d start with disc 1, episode 1. The box set is the complete Season 1-? collection. The 'previously on' recaps are baked into the narrative itself. So, press play on episode one. That’s volume 1.

Flip the box over. Does it show the volumes in order? That's your answer. It's a linear superhero origin story and school saga. Beginning with Volume 1 lets you witness the defining moment where Izuku Midoriya's life changes forever. Every victory, every setback he faces later is rooted in that moment.

The box set takes you through his most intense training and early hero experiences. To skip the origin is to miss the point of his entire character.

Flip a coin. Heads, start at volume 1. Tails, start at volume 10. Just kidding, please don’t start at volume 10. That’s in the middle of the Overhaul arc, and you’ll have zero context. Bad joke. Seriously, start at volume 1. The introduction of One For All and All Might’s decline is handled so well in the manga, with more internal monologue than the anime sometimes. It’s worth reading for that alone.

While the obvious answer is 'from Volume 1,' I'll add a reading tip: pay attention to the cover pages and chapter titles. Horikoshi often uses them for little gags or bonus info that adds flavor. They're part of the complete experience. But yeah, to access those, you gotta start at the beginning of the book, which is Volume 1.

The box set is the ultimate way to binge the series without interruption. Cherish that first read-through!

How should new readers start My Hero Academia using book sets?

10 回答2026-08-04 17:57:58
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.

Just use the Shonen Jump app. For a small monthly fee, you get the entire digital library from chapter 1 onward. It’s the most accessible and affordable way. You can binge at your own pace without worrying about damaged books or out-of-print volumes. The translation is official and consistent. The app’s interface is clean, and you can zoom in on those incredible double-page spreads. It’s how I got caught up after falling behind. Physical is nice for collecting, but for pure, unfettered reading from the start, digital can’t be beat.

Honestly? I read the first volume and just couldn't get into the art style. The characters felt a bit same-y to me at first glance. Might give it another shot someday because everyone raves about it, but my initial impression was just 'meh.' Maybe I'm missing something.

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.

My friend tried to start from the 'Pro Hero' arc because he saw a cool Hawks clip. He was utterly lost on who anyone was or why anything mattered. He dropped it. I finally convinced him to start from volume 1, and now he’s a die-hard fan. The order matters because the story makes you care. You don’t care about the high-stakes battles if you haven’t spent time with the characters in their mundane school days first. The early volumes build that connection. Never skip them.

Is My Hero Academia book 7 a good starting point for new readers?

Hilariously bad idea. Next you'll be asking if you can start 'The Two Towers' without reading 'The Fellowship of the Ring.' Some stories are serialized for a reason. The payoffs are earned. Don't be that person.

The only essential side story is 'Vigilantes'. And it's best read after the 'Hideout Raid' arc in the main series. That arc changes the status quo fundamentally, and 'Vigilantes' provides essential context about the previous generation and the societal underpinnings that led to that moment. It's a prequel that hits harder when you know the future.

How many My Hero Academia box sets have been released

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.
