Boku no Hero Academia

Naruto addpermalink

I have felt like Boku no Hero Academia is the Spiritual successor to Naruto in Jump for a while now. While these series feel very different (imo) they do share some striking similarities. 

The main protagonist from each series Naruto (Naruto) and Midoriya (BnHA) share a weakling persona in the world that they live in. They also share a dream reaching the top of their respective societies (Hokage  for Naruto and #1 Hero for Mirdoriy). Each protagonist is also paired with a much more gifted and talented rival. The setting are very different but both series revolve around students gaining the proper training, experience, and licensing needed to become a professional in their respective worlds (Ninjas in Naruto and Heroes in BnHA). Aside from the main characters the rest of the casts for both series are immense full of likeable unique characters with divers personalities, designs, and abilities. This is not limited to the heroes in either series as they both have wonderful antagonist who are also likeable and unique.  read more

Did you ever feel useless? Ever felt like you are the only one that is not stron enough to defend himself? Well both of the main characters of these series know how you feel. They aren't very strong but are willing to do anything in order to become stronger. Both of them also have a friend that they like, but this friend is very jalous and hates the main character. These two manga feature some of the most epic powers and characters I have ever seen. If you like action stories, then you should read these manga.

Beyond the concept of a diverse cast of characters fighting their way through a special fighting school, and a main character who wants to be the greatest that ever lived in the history everything, Deku is LITERALLY Rock Lee - Goofy-looking childhood failures, talentless but highly ambitious and brave kids who are then spotted by an all powerful over-enthusiastic master who sees greatness in them that no one else does, before taking them under their wing and forming the apprentice's powers under the master's own. And so greatness begins to blossom. There is even a tournament arc in which he fights while using a highly prohibitive power which if overused could lead to him being crippled for life.

Also, a lot of green spandex. read more

The mangaka of MHA has gone on record to say that Naruto is his favorite shonen manga and that it was his childhood.
There are similarities between the rivalry of Bakugou and Izuku, and Naruto and Sasuke. They used to be friends as kids and now they are rivals, although Bakugou is a lot more violent and hot headed than Sasuke.
The hero Eraser Head is very similar to Kakashi is the sense that he hides his power and is very calm, while also very powerful.
Izuku and Naruto are very different characters, Izuku is smart and wimpy at the beginning while Naruto is loud and is the type to go into a situation without thinking it through.

In both mangas the main character wants to be a hero. In Naruto, he wants to be a hero for the village and someone everybody will recognize (hokage), while in BNHA, he also wants to be recognized, and be a hero that could save and protect anyone

Since Gakuen Alice is over, you're probably looking for a new fix. Boku no Hero Academia is a shounen manga about a boy who gained superpowers and thus, got into a school for superheroes. "Why would you recommend a shounen manga to shoujo readers?" Because it's pretty good and it has kids with powers, isn't that why we liked Gakuen Alice in the first place? The excitement of a different world, an elite school, the Alices, and the battles and struggles of Mikan Sakura against the evil principal. Although there's no love interests yet in BnoHA, it's still worth a look. Bonus points that might convince you even more: Bakugou is kind of like Natsume because he has fire power, it's interesting how he'll turn out. read more

Both of them are sweet boys that people initially gave NOTHING for but that slowly become the best in their entire class. Both of them write notes, one about his teacher's weaknesses and the other notes about superheroes in general, so they're very analytical characters.

They also build a kind of father-son relationship with their respective teachers.

- Large colorful + likable casts of characters who are (mostly) all paid attention to and developed
- Both MC's are originally meek/bullied (Izuku has no particular talent other than being smart pretty much and Sena is similar but happens to be a very fast runner)
- Characters work hard to improve themselves and have superpowers or talents (BNHA - quirks, Eyeshield - special moves/techniques)
- Training arcs + tournament arcs, rivals and befriending past rivals (more so in Eyeshield considering it is a sports manga)

BHA is a series that has taken a mass of shounen tropes and concepts, polished them to a sheer shine and implemented them into a unique world, creating a narrative that is both nostalgic and unique in its own right. With that in mind, Helck takes very similar tropes and refines them in a similiar way, but to a very different effect. Where BHA uses its tropes to develop a wide range of characters and themes, Helck focuses on a smaller group of characters and themes and uses its tropes more as a means of creating drama, comedy, and world building.

Both revolve in a world where people with superpowers are something normal, thought Hero Academia is more cheerful and kids friendly.

These two aren't the most similar in terms of story; but both have characters which change their body in order to help people.

Superhero politics and corruption. Both series deal with a hero based society, more or less. Whereas one is based upon mainstream comic book superheroes, the other focuses more on the Japanese Tokusatsu side of things.
