My Hero Academia: I Am a Hero Too

Back then, Eri was just a scared little girl, pulled from one of the darkest situations in the series by Deku and the UA heroes. Eight years later, she's walking through those same UA gates — this time as a student with her own dream of becoming a hero. That's the setup for 'I Am a Hero Too,' an ONA based on a one-shot from the My Hero Academia fanbook that jumps forward in time to explore what the next generation looks like after Midoriya and his classmates have graduated and moved on. It's quieter than the main series — less about world-ending threats and more about a young girl figuring out her own identity in the shadow of people she admires. The mentorship angle carries a lot of weight here, especially if you've followed Eri's story from the beginning. If you liked the 'Naruto: The Last' style of revisiting a world you know but through a softer, more personal lens, this scratches that itch. It also shares some DNA with the early Boruto era, where the appeal is watching the next generation find their footing. Long-time MHA fans will get the most out of it — there's real emotional continuity baked in — but the core coming-of-age story is accessible enough that it doesn't demand you've memorized every arc. It's a low-stakes, character-first slice of the MHA universe worth checking out if you ever felt Eri deserved more time in the spotlight.
