Here is everything you need to know about the anime to watch if you like My Hero Academia.

Assassination Classroom

The characters in Assassination Classroom aren’t superheroes — they’re normal middle school students who are struggling not to fail in school. However, they’ve been tasked with assassinating a yellow octopus-like creature who swears to destroy the earth in one year. This creature, later named Kuro-sensei, becomes their homeroom teacher and helps them improve their grades while teaching them how to assassinate him.

Assassination Classroom sounds rather straightforward, but there is more to it than that, as new fans will soon realize for themselves. The anime is hilarious, teaches fascinating life lessons, and tugs at the viewer’s heartstrings sometimes.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!’s main character, Tsuna, is remarkably similar to MHA’s Izuku Midoriya. They are both weak physically and mentally, and they both have little confidence in their strengths. But then they meet a man who unlocks their true potential and changes their world forever.

Unlike Izuku, who wants to get stronger, Tsuna isn’t interested in gaining power and doesn’t like fighting. He doesn’t want to become what his mentor wants him to be – a mafia boss. Although the plots heavily differ, both shows have likable characters, great fight scenes, and great humor.

Naruto

Naruto is the story of an ostracized boy named Naruto Uzumaki. He recently graduated from ninja school, and his big dream is to become Hokage. He starts from nothing and works his way up.

Naruto may not have “school life” elements to it, but Naruto and his friends are classic Shonen heroes worthy of any heroic cape. The jutsu-based combat system also feels wonderfully similar to MHA’s Quirk-based combat system, from the Rasengan to the Sharingan and the mind transfer jutsu.

The Misfit Of Demon King Academy

The Misfit of Demon King Academy blends school life and action, like MHA, but in a different way. The protagonist, Anos Voldigoad, isn’t an underdog like Izuku Midoriya. He is the vastly overpowered demon king, back from the dead in a new era.

Anos enrolls at a demon school named in his honor, and he doesn’t like what he sees. Too many pureblood students bully the half-bloods, and arrogance and complacency are everywhere. The disguised demon king will have to set his classmates straight, one fantasy battle at a time.

Hunter X Hunter

There are so many good things to be said about the 2011 Hunter x Hunter anime series. One of the best-written shows in the history of anime. Hunter X Hunter revolves around a young boy named Gon Freecss who goes on a journey to find his missing father, a renowned Hunter named Ging.

Right away, Gon takes the Hunter Exam and makes a few good friends like Killua Zoldyck. The Nen combat system, which ranks among shonen anime’s best, may also remind MHA fans of Quirks.
