The beauty of 'Vigilantes' is in the downtime between fights. The chapters where characters just talk, work their jobs, or deal with mundane problems. Those moments are placed intentionally between the action beats to let the characters breathe and let you connect with them.
If you read only the 'exciting' chapters, you'd get a hollow experience. The intended order weaves action and slice-of-life together to create a rich tapestry. So read it cover-to-cover, including the quieter moments. That's where the soul of the series lives.

It's a relief to see a question where the answer is so universally agreed upon. No faction wars, no 'sub vs. dub' level arguments. Just a consensus: start at Volume 1, end at Volume 15. What a peaceful fandom corner this is.

The only exception to the 'volume order' rule is maybe the extra chapters or side stories, but those are usually included in the relevant volumes anyway. So the rule still stands.
The collected volumes are the definitive, in-order experience. Anything else is just scattered chapters. Publishers spend a lot of time deciding what goes in each volume to create a satisfying reading experience. We should probably trust them on this one.

The fan nickname 'Crawler' for Koichi isn't used immediately. That's part of the journey. Reading in order lets you see how he earns that name and the reputation that comes with it. Skipping ahead robs you of that organic development.

The antagonist in this volume is terrifying, but their menace comes from the mystery and buildup in Volumes 7 and 8. Volume 9 is when they finally take center stage in a full confrontation. So, order-wise, it's after the shadowy threat becomes a clear and present danger.
It's the 'reveal and confrontation' volume for that particular villain.

Honestly, just follow the official volume release order. Viz Media's volumes are the way to go. The fan scans might have uploaded chapters out of sequence years ago, but the collected volumes present it as intended.
You start with 'Illegals' (the early subtitle) and go straight through. It's a complete story now, so you can binge the whole thing without waiting for new chapters, which is a nice feeling.

For a visual reader, the art style shift might be jarring if you jump back and forth. 'Vigilantes' has a slightly rougher, more detailed style that fits its urban setting. The main series' art is more polished and dynamic in a shonen battle way. It's easier on the brain to finish one artist's visual storytelling, then adapt to the other, rather than constantly switching between visual languages.
Stick with one artist's rendition of the world at a time. It helps with immersion. So, pick a series and see it through to its conclusion, or at least a major stopping point. Don't break your visual immersion every few chapters for a different look at the same city. Enjoy each artist's complete vision separately.

Honestly, just grab them in the order they're numbered on the spine. 1, 2, 3, and so on up to 15. The story is chronological and doesn't have any flash-forwards or prequel arcs within itself that would confuse you.
The real joy is in the character development. Watching Koichi gain confidence and refine his seemingly lame Quirk is incredibly satisfying. The supporting cast, from the idol Pop Step to the gruff Knuckleduster, all get their moments to shine as the series progresses.
Stick to the numbered order, and you'll witness a fantastic, street-level story that adds so much texture to the MHA world. It's a must-read for any fan of the franchise.

I’m waiting for this one myself. The Viz Media subscription is the most cost-effective route if you plan to read more than just this volume. For a couple bucks a month, you get access to a huge chunk of their catalog, including tons of back chapters. Volume 14 might be compiled from those earlier chapter releases.
If you prefer to own it, then digital storefronts are the way. I’d check BookWalker as well—they often have sales on manga and a decent points system. They’re a legitimate retailer specializing in digital manga and light novels.
Just a heads-up: avoid sketchy aggregator sites. Besides the ethical issues, their pages are so cluttered with invasive ads that it ruins the reading experience. The official apps are clean, support the artists, and often include translator notes and bonus content you won’t find on pirate sites.

Cool thread. I'm just waiting to see if anyone has a hot take on the license exam arc itself. The order seems pretty settled.
