Synopsis
They couldn't become official heroes... but they still want to save people! A down-to-earth story of growth featuring illegal heroes!
"My Hero Academia," created by Kohei Horikoshi, has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump for 10 years and has gained explosive popularity worldwide.
Now, its official spin-off series "My Hero Academia: Vigilantes" is finally getting an anime adaptation!
Written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, this series was serialized in Shonen Jump+ and takes place a few years before the events of "My Hero Academia."
The story is set in a superhuman society where about 80% of the world's population possesses superpowers, known as "Quirks." In this chaotic world, the "chosen" profession of Heroes protects people from accidents, disasters, and Villains who misuse their Quirks.
However, there are also those who weren't "chosen" but still can't help saving people right in front of them. This is the story of those heroes - the Vigilantes.
