Synopsis

It all started with the news of the birth of a 'luminescent baby' in Keikei City, China. Since then, 'Paranormalities' have been discovered all over the world, but their cause still remains unclear. Now, we have entered the superhuman age, where eighty percent of the world’s total population are born with some kind of idiosyncrasy, known as a Quirk. While criminals and villains who use their supernatural powers for evil are steadily on the rise, there is also a society of heroes who use the very same Quirks to stand against and save people from villains and disasters.

The fictional heroes that everyone idolised have become a reality. It’s in this kind of world that Izuku Midoriya (known as Deku by his friends) hopes to become a hero and sets out to enroll in Yuuei, a Hero Academy known for producing countless famous heroes. However, it just so happens that Deku is one of the twenty percent of the population that is born without any powers - a 'Quirkless' loser.

One day, Deku meets his very own hero rolemodel, and the fate of his future changes dramatically. Friends, teachers, rivals, and enemies - whilst facing many different characters and challenges, Deku starts his journey to become the best hero he can be.

A new story is about to begin with this new generation of hot-blooded heroes!

Synopsis

30 men and women come together to go on a bus tour. However, this isn’t any ordinary bus tour. This bus tour is headed to a mysterious, unconfirmed village named Nanakimura. Purportedly, Nanakimura, if found, is a utopia and a place that is unlike anywhere else in the world. Well… at least that is what the rumors say.
Of these 30, some have lost faith in the current world, some want to erase themselves from their tedious existences, and finally, some just want to start their lives over again. So, they take their expectations in one hand and their distressed hearts in the other with them deep into the mountains in search of Nanakimura. However, when they arrive, they are greeted with a village, but at the same time, it’s not a village. It’s an area that stinks of abandonment and barely any traces of human life.

What is this reality that has appeared in Nanakimura that the 30 people have stumbled upon??
