After Bleach's decline and loss of popularity, until his cancellation and also after Naruto's conclusion that despite the decline in quality of his last saga he was still a pillar of the Shonen Jump, the magazine would lose two of its most important franchises. For a while, when Bleach had "officially" lost his title as a pillar of the Shonen Jump, you could say that he was replaced by Toriko, for some time One Piece, Naruto and Toriko were the 3 main pillars, but some time later, Toriko like Bleach, would lose popularity and therefore losing his place on the podium. Returning to the previous thing, after the loss of these two pillars (Naruto and Bleach), the only manga that reigned in this magazine was One Piece, it still remained as the most popular manga of the magazine, but soon other mangas would appear that, at the moment they occupy a place as pillars of the Shonen Jump, one of those mangas is: Black Clover, of which I've only seen the first 5 chapters of the manga, because I thought that its story was too cliché, and I couldn't stand its main character, Asta, although I understand that it gets better with time, I still have him in my waiting list.
However, what I'm going to talk about today, is the manga that has really earned its place as a pillar of Shonen Jump and of the new products that have come out in recent years, it is the one that has gained the most strength and fans in recent years and that manga is: Boku no Hero Academy. The beginning of this manga is very typical of the Shonen genre, a protagonist with a purpose in life, meets friends and little by little is getting stronger. Basically this is the origin of 90% of the protagonists of this type of manga, but it is a formula that has worked a lot over the years, but of course, within this "Shonen formula", many other mangakas have added other factors that make their manga not one of the bunch and that thanks to that new elements makes their final product something worthy of being catalogued as (in this particular manga) the new pillar of the Shonen Jump.
Boku no Hero Academy, presents us with a world where its inhabitants have super powers of all kinds, from the most useful, dangerous, destructive and even slightly useless powers, and because of this, logically, society has been divided into two, those who use their powers for evil and those who use their powers for good. In short, the endless struggle of "good against evil", light vs. darkness, yet this series shows us that, just as in real life, there are also grays.
As is typical in the manga of the genre shonen we are presented with the main protagonist: Izuku Midoriya, a young man quite lively, cheerful, a little introverted, whose main purpose in life is to become one of the best superheroes in history, for this he is preparing to enter a special academy for the training of superheroes, but unfortunately Midoriya was born without any kind of power, and growing up in a society where everyone has some kind of ability and that his main purpose is to become the best superhero, is not an easy task. Because of this, Midoriya or also known as Deku, since her childhood suffered from bullying by many children due to her lack of super powers. But even so, despite not having any kind of super power, she is preparing to fulfill her greatest purpose in life.
As is common in many comics, since this manga clearly draws on the American comic. Comics like: Batman, Captain America, Superman, among others, society always has a maximum figure of inspiration, a figure for which society will always count on it when it is needed and that figure in Boku no Hero Academy is: All Might, the maximum superhero of this story, a born leader and inspiration for many of the inhabitants of the city and even the world of this manga, but above all it is the greatest inspiration of Midoriya.
After some events of the manga, the meeting between Midoriya and All Might was undeniable, and seeing that despite his lack of powers, Midoriya was a determined person, with great willpower and good values, All Might (logically) chose him as his apprentice, giving him a portion of their powers. Now Midoriya will be able to fulfill her biggest dream in life, but before that, she will have to enter the academy to train as a true superhero.
And so begins the story of this manga, which despite having the typical fundamental argument of this type of story, Boku no Hero Academia is really an excellent manga and also anime, which although I have not seen it yet, since I want to wait until I have more seasons to see them all in a marathon, what little I have managed to see of its anime adaptation, looks equally well. Logically and as I mentioned before, this manga takes inspiration from the American comic and that can be seen, both in its plot and in its drawing style, this manga has a style quite different from what we are used to shonen mangas and of course, every mangaka has a quite particular and unique style with its mangas, but in the case of Boku no Hero Academy, you can notice a style that, when I first read this I found it very impressive. Nowadays it can be considered as one of the best drawn manga of the whole Shonen Jump, I think that's undeniable, the way the battles are drawn, the expression on the characters' faces and even the characters' clothes have a great level of detail.
Boku no Hero Academy is undoubtedly the new pillar of the Shonen Jump that is gradually becoming even more popular, all thanks to its excellent story, good character development, but above all, excellent drawing style.
