Synopsis of the Anime Boku No Hero Academia and Recommendations for Similar Themed Anime

Kapanlagi.com - Boku No Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) is one of the most popular superhero anime from Japan that tells the story of a world where the majority of humans have superpowers known as "Quirk."

The main story follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without a Quirk but still dreams of becoming the greatest hero like his idol, All Might.

Through hard work and strong determination, Midoriya eventually gets accepted into U.A. High School, a special school for heroes, where he learns to develop his abilities and meets friends as well as great challenges in facing villains.

If KLovers enjoy Boku No Hero Academia, there are several anime that have a similar vibe and theme that are also exciting to follow. Here are the recommendations along with their brief synopses.

1. One Punch Man

One Punch Man tells the story of Saitama, an ordinary man who dreams of becoming the strongest superhero just for fun.

After undergoing intense training for three years, Saitama gains incredible strength that allows him to defeat enemies with just one punch. However, this ability makes him bored because there are no opponents that challenge him.

Saitama is underestimated by society and the Hero Association due to his ordinary appearance and laid-back attitude, despite his tremendous power.

He then meets Genos, a young cyborg who becomes his student and follower. Together, they enroll in the Hero Association to gain recognition and fulfill their duties as official heroes.

The story develops with various threats emerging, from ferocious monsters, enemy organizations like the Monster Association, to antagonists like Garou, the "Hero Hunter," who harbors a grudge against the hero culture.

Although Saitama continues to defeat opponents easily, the tension and danger increase with conspiracies and fierce battles involving many heroes.

The climax occurs when the Monster Association kidnaps the son of one of the high-ranking officials of the Hero Association. The S-Class heroes gather to face this threat, leading to a massive battle that devastates much of City Z.

Saitama continues to showcase his greatness, while mysteries and new powers begin to emerge from various sides.

2. My Hero Academia: Vigilantes

This is a spin-off of Boku No Hero Academia that focuses on unofficial heroes, also known as vigilantes.

Unlike Midoriya, who attends U.A., the characters here struggle to protect people without an official hero status. If you want to see another side of the hero world, this anime is a must-watch.

3. Mob Psycho 100

Mob Psycho 100 tells the story of Shigeo Kageyama (Mob), a boy with extraordinary psychic powers, but he tries to live a normal life by suppressing his emotions.

This anime is hilarious while also carrying a deep message about identity and self-control. If you like characters with special powers but who still relate to everyday life, Mob Psycho 100 is just right.

4. Blue Exorcist (Ao no Exorcist)

Blue Exorcist tells the story of Rin Okumura, who just learned that he is the son of the strongest demon. To fight against his destiny, he trains to become an exorcist to protect humans from the forces of darkness.

With a school theme and supernatural battles, this anime has an exhilarating atmosphere and strong characters.

5. Tiger & Bunny
