A special Silver Level Sponsor sampler containing excerpts from MY HERO ACADEMIA and RWBY.
The hit manga series MY HERO ACADEMIA asks the question… What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called "Quirks"? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless? Dive into this acclaimed series by Kohei Horikoshi!
RWBY features artwork by the famed manga creator Shirow Miwa and is inspired by the popular online anime-style series originally created by Monty Oum and produced by Austin, TX-based Rooster Teeth Productions. In RWBY, the world of Remnant is filled with horrific monsters bent on the destruction of humanity. Fortunately, the kingdoms of the world have risen to combat these forces by training powerful Huntsmen and Huntresses at academies around the planet. Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long are four such Huntresses in training.
Don’t miss VIZ Media’s release of the RWBY OFFICIAL MANGA ANTHOLOGY, Vol. 1 RED LIKE ROSES in print and digital editions on May 15th. The latest volume of MY HERO ACADEMIA (Vol. 13) will be available for purchase on June 5th.
