And finally, after several months I start the review of Boku no Hero Academia. I've been late because I've been reviewing One Piece and Chainsaw Man, and I've been waiting for some new news about Chainsaw Man, but there's nothing yet, I hope that soon they will show something about the anime adaptation or at least the 2nd part of the manga, that's why I'll start with Boku no Hero Academia, while I wait for some new news about CSM. Boku no Hero Academia has just finished with one of its most important arcs to date and the aftermath of the war we witnessed was so big that it is affecting the society of heroes, many deaths, betrayals and many secrets have been revealed, and this has affected both the inhabitants and the heroes in general, physically and mentally.
Boku no Hero Academia 299 "Like Those Tragic Tales". It is centered on Hawks, and his childhood and how this hero has been affected by the whole war. We see his tragic and abusive childhood, with his father who is a murderous criminal, constantly abusive both physically and verbally. As well as Hawks' mother who protected this man despite being a very dangerous criminal who is wanted by the police.
Hawks' childhood was a torment, however, this did not affect him so much, since from a very young age Hawks had the conviction of becoming a hero because he admired Endervor so much.
One day his father runs away, but is captured by the police. Hawks and his mother leave home but are "captured" by the police who offer them help.
Returning to the present, we see Hawks who presents the physical and mental after-effects of the arduous battle he had in this massive war. He looks pretty shaken up, but heads to his mother's house to check on her. There he discovers that she was threatened to tell information about Hawks' father, so it is that during the war he discovers the murky past of the hero and his father.
All these recent events have greatly affected the psychology of this great character. But we also see how society has changed its mentality regarding heroes. Although there are still many people who still believe in them, there is also a large and growing group of people who no longer want their help. This is very important for the future.
But despite everything that has happened, Hawks still maintains his strength and still believes in Endervor or at least in his image as a "hero", because as a person he is quite selfish, manipulative and abusive. Although he is also a character he has been trying to change for some time.
This chapter was quite good, as we see the aftermath of this war on a physical, emotional and mental level, both in the heroes and in the people. Which is undoubtedly an aspect that will be of great importance in future situations that are about to happen.
