My Hero Academia, Vol. 6

Horikoshi, Kohei. My Hero Academia, Vol. 6. 2016. 192p. ISBN 978-1-4215-8866-7. Available in the graphic novels section of the library.

Now that the Sports Festival ended in My Hero Academia, Vol. 5, students from Class 1-A are about to begin their internships with hero agencies. First, they must come up with a catchy name for their superhero personality. Midoriya selects Deku because, though it was used as an insult when he was younger, he chooses to reappropriate it and make it whole. 

For his internship, Ida requests a transfer back to Hosu, where his brother was heavily injured by the villain Stain. He looks forward to confronting Stain and avenging himself and his brother. Midoriya, for his part, is assigned to work with Gran Torino, the same hero who trained All Might. Midoriya still cannot master the One for All, but under Gran Torino's tutelage, he soon realizes that he can, in fact, control this quirk.

Meanwhile, Stain confronts the League of Villains, who are hoping to recruit him to their efforts. Snubbed and hurt by Stain, Tomura decides to throw a wrench in Stain's plans to "reform" Hosu. Ida soon finds himself confronted by Stain and the monsters the League of Villains unleashed...

The story continues in My Hero Academia, Vol. 7.
