Among the world filled with superhuman beings, Izuku is one of the few people with no abilities at all. He always looks up at people with powers with sparkling eyes, especially his idol All Might. Izuku’s fate changes after he meets his idol, who chooses him to be the successor to his mighty powers. He then enrolls in UA High School and thus starts his journey of becoming the greatest hero the world has ever seen.
