Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world’s greatest hero, but greatness won’t come easy.
What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere!

Middle school student Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he hasn’t got an ounce of power in him. With no chance of ever getting into the prestigious U.A.

Mark of a True Hero
"In a world full of heroes and villains we follow the path of the quirkless Midoriya, a normal boy in a world full of abnormal people, on his quest to become a hero. Honestly, I didn't think this would be for me but am glad to say I was both surprised and delighted with the story given. The characters - both good and ill - are three dimensional and fully realized and the twist in the story was a great surprise. I highly recommend this to all manga lovers!"
