Technically the invisible girl is naked except for the gloves and shoes she wears. Not sure why she wouldn't just wear clothes in class since it's not like she really HAS to be invisible all the time but w/e thankfully they haven't gotten terribly creepy about it.

Have they shown her visible yet?

EDIT: Clothed obviously

It feels like everyone in the comic is trying really hard to ignore the fact that one teacher is walking around topless...

I had to do a double-take, because I was like "Wait wait is dominatrix lady really walking around topless??!" Maybe her superpower is the ability to not have nipples.

No, because that's the logical conclusion until someone in the manga actually comments about her being topless. Ladies in scandalous spandex are a super hero comic staple.

I went ahead and read chapters 19-21 and they were pretty great. I wonder how they're going to handle Midoriya transitioning to becoming more powerful; it seems like the instant he learns to control his power is also the instant he becomes stronger/more capable than the vast majority of characters in the comic's world.

We'll know when Midoriya's mastered the power when he starts getting drawn with all the cross-hatching like All Might.

Lack of toe joint nipples is the indicator of super powers.

I wonder if Midoriya will have a superswole transformation mode because it'd be weird to have him get All Might huge permanently or even on a regular basis.

It would also give the whole game away because :crossarms: hmmm super strength, state/city themed smash attacks, and a superswole body? I can't imagine the other students would find out the truth about his quirk THIS early.

To be fair to Izuku, I'm pretty sure that at least 75% of all the kids with any degree of super-strength have probably imitated All Might in the theme-named attack department. And probably just as many without super-strength, but they likely stopped doing it before middle school.

Yeah even if they knew that Midoriya and All Might had a connection, the logical conclusion to that would be All Might chose an apprentice with a super strength quirk like him, not that he transferred his quirk.

Hand guy seems to believe that All Might is a murderous rear end in a top hat that just happens to be popular. He also treats one of his hands like they're his father's. So do his hands belong to family members? Can he use their powers that way? Did All Might kill hand guy's father? Did All Might's predecessor do it? Will they answer these questions in the middle of a beach arc?

I kinda wish Hands would've went into it a bit more because the idea of villains actually addressing the fact that licensed heroes beating up badguys is pretty much state-licensed violence is kind of a cool angle instead of "WE'RE ASSHOLES AND WANNA KILL STUFF"

Hands will show up in the beach arc and challenge All Might and the kids to a volleyball match with just him and portal guy on the villain team.

This isn't rocket science. Going by actual measures that most companies use to determine keeping things in circulation, this manga's not getting cancelled any time soon.

Mx0 was a pretty rad manga, but for whatever reason, the voters didn't care much for it so it never ranked highly, usually sitting on the bottom half of the rankings. I assume it didn't make enough volume sales either to justify keeping it so it got canceled.

Yeah but on the other hand talk of potential cancellation leads to a perfect segue about the unjustness of Mx0's cancellation.

There is no potential cancellation. There is people thinking that companies are big scary monsters that want to destroy everything you like with an evil grin, rather than a business that simply decides these things using metrics that none of their readers use.

To be fair to Mx0 though, it was basically competing with Jump's all-star lineup for those years, with your usual big names One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, and Toriko, but also Eyeshield 21, Neuro, Psyren, Reborn, the return of Hunter x Hunter again, D.Gray-Man, Gintama, Prince of Tennis, To-Love-Ru, and Sket Dance. It only stands to reason it was never able to maintain a stable high ranking when it was competing against those big hitters. Though why nobody bought it, I have no idea.

What I'm curious about is what happened to Double Arts, which actually started off strong before it dropped off in popularity within months. I assume it just couldn't sell volumes, but it's just interesting how it just gradually drops down the rankings till it just ends.

My Hero Academia is ranking and selling well though, so it has a pretty strong lifeline for the time being, especially in the vacuum left by Naruto ending.

I wouldn't be surprised if part of MHA's success is because it is filling the hole left by Naruto ending - it's a new series with cool superpowered people learning how to be heroes and do missions as teams, with great writing and art and a setting that oozes style, just like early Naruto was.

Having his power transfer only require eating a part of him seems terribly unsafe - all it takes is someone finding out about it, or some villain that bites, and suddenly you have a bunch of evil All Mights running around. I'm sure the evil scientist who made Noumu from scratch could do terrible thing with a hair if it's that easy, and if your power is only limited by what your body can handle, then if you give it to an indestructible, regenerating body...
