Author's Notes

Author's Notes are short introductions that mangaka add to the dustjacket of each volume of their manga. This includes Kohei Horikoshi and his respective series, My Hero Academia. They usually have nothing to do with the series itself except for on a few occasions and are written as if Horikoshi were writing his everyday thoughts into a diary. Volume introductions are located on the front inner face of the volume covers only, and they are detachable from the book along with the cover itself. Each volume introduction comes with a unique drawing by Horikoshi (usually a hand with a face).

 * style="vertical-align:top; white-space:pre-line;" | This is my third series to be collected into graphic novels. Forgive me if this sounds reckless, but the thing I prioritize most when drawing manga is creating something I can enjoy. This one might not remain popular, but for now, I'll just be happy if everyone finds it as fun as I do.

 * style="vertical-align:top; white-space:pre-line;" | I like drawing hands. I give them a lot of care because, besides the face, I think that hands are the body part most capable of showing expression and character. On the flip side, drawing hands that aren't expressive is specially though because there's nothing to go on. For that reason, there's one character in this volume who's specially difficult and who had me on the verge of tears every week. It makes me resent myself. It'll be plenty obvious to any reader which character I'm reffering to, so go ahead. Read on.
