This was a mixed volume. I really loved the continuation of the battle between the Yakuza and the heroes. It showed how Deku could utilise his full power, gave him his first huge battle that was literally life or death and showed how dangerous some quirks can be even when used for a good reason.

There was actually some character deaths in here too which shocked me, especially one of them as they were considered to be a big hero within the story but I also think they were introduced just for this reason, as a catalyst for change further up the chain of characters while having a ripple effect on other's thoughts.

I'm not sure how I felt about the final part. It seemed really immature and silly but then it was something that brought the tone down to close off the arc and leave us to open the next High School Festival in Volume. 18.

Artwork was slightly different in this volume but I only noticed it at the start so I'm not exactly sure what was wrong. It was still really well done with some great illustrations that make reading this series a lot of fun.

Finally, what was that ending about! WTF!

This volume shows the aftermath of the mission to rescue Eri, which has been an intense arc. I love that it's followed up with Todoroki, Bakugo, and others attempting to win over little kids. It was a hilarious situation and provided some much needed comic relief after the past couple volumes.
