My Hero Academia, Vol. 24: All It Takes Is One Bad Day, by Kohei Horikoshi

The League of Villains continues to be attacked by The Liberation Army. Himiko Toga is being interviewed while fighting about her life, and why she chose the path she did. To them, Toga was different, Toga was a girl who had gone mad. During the fight we revisit some of Toga's old memories and see what really happened on that day. We see how Toga feels about living, how she wants to live her life, and how she doesn't want to fit into other people's definition of normal.

After the fight, Twice goes to find Toga after he notices that she has gone missing. During this time Twice overcomes something that had been torturing him this entire time. After overcoming that he becomes something all of humanity should fear, with the power of his doubles.

The rest of the team goes to retrieve Giran but have a difficult fight against Detnerat. But then, Shigaraki does something dangerous and risky to save Giran.

Now, I don't usually find the villain's story too interesting, just how someone might think that Deku's story is dull, but this hit hard. We see so much backstory and so much information that it's a little mind blowing. We see the reasons why they're with the league, how they see the league as a family. In a way it makes you root for the villain's victory. Also the fighting scenes in My Hero Academia, Vol. 24: All It Takes Is One Bad Day, by Kohei Horikoshi were wonderful and they looked amazing (as usual). I'm still very much more interested in the heroes, rather than the villains, but that's just my opinion. If you really like the villains and want to know more about them then you're in luck because this entire volume is about them. If you like the heroes, like me, I'd still say give this a read because the art is great, the plot is great, and overall it's still a very good volume!
