Hikigaya Hachiman is the last person on earth who should ever apply to U.A. High School. Yet somehow, he gets in anyway. In a world of irrepressible optimism and idealism, these are the adventures of a young man who believes that idealism is a lie.

The first year of high school marks a new stage in life. Hikigaya Hachiman, accepted into Soubu with no friends and no acquaintances, has everything he could have wished for: a new save file. Finally, he can leave the past behind him. But a quirk isn't so easily left behind. To his dismay, what he hates the most becomes the cornerstone of a life he never wished for.

All Might's search to find a replacement ends when he spots a teenaged boy leap into danger to save another. Too bad it wasn't Izuku Midoriya that he saw first. A cynical loner wields the power of the greatest hero, luckily his clubmates will guide him on his path.

Superpowers were a thing of fiction, until a baby from Russia was born. Now a few years later, more powers started popping up, and all those power users became criminals, thinking they can become a big shot because of their powers. This is where I come in. While the rest of the world is in danger, I will protect the city of Chiba with the power of super strength, for I am 8man.
