Should I Start with the "My Hero Academia" Manga or Anime First?

[San Goku]

I've recently gotten into "My Hero Academia" and I'm torn between getting into the manga or starting with the anime. I've heard that the manga has some additional details and character development compared to the anime. What do you all think? Is there a clear advantage to reading the manga first, or is the anime a great starting point?

Starting with the anime is a solid choice! It really captures the energy of the fights and the character dynamics, which makes it so engaging right from the beginning. But I totally see the appeal of the manga, the additional details and character arcs can definitely enrich the story.

I started with the anime too, and it hooked me in. Once I caught up, I read the manga and found some moments that hit even harder! If you enjoy the anime, maybe try reading the manga after you catch up, so you can fully experience the story and the world build-up.

Are you enjoying the characters so far? I think Todoroki's backstory is one of the highlights!
