Loved the festival, it was fun and light and meaningful.
Then the action kicks in, go Endeavor!

5/5, Nie uważam, że walka z La Bravom i Gentle była najtrudniejsza, ale chyba rozumiem Deku.
Uśmiech Eri jest warty wszystko
All might znów zachowuje się jak ojciec co daje ochrzan
Mirio jest przeuroczy, zajmując się Eri jakby była jego siostrzyczką i ją tak naśladować
CZY KOTA KUPIŁ BUTY JAK DEKU??? JUŻ MAMY DWÓCH FANÓW, KOTĘ I ERI
Hawks mnie trochę wkurza tbh, ale jest hot

Finished UA festival and ending in the middle of the Endeavor v Nomu battle.
I already gushed about it last volume, but the band performance is one of my ALL TIME favorite moments of this series. It's even cuter in the anime because we get to hear the song (which is a straight banger) and get to linger on the scene more for the full number. One thing in the manga that made me giggle though is when Jiro is like 'yeah!' before the key change in the anime, it cuts to Bakugo trying to hide a smile basically, but looking annoyed as usual (one of the comments said Bakugo spends half his attention drumming and half trying to hide his smile because he doesn't want to let others know how much he adores this, what a fool lol i love him). But in the manga when it cuts to him he mutters 'hypocrite' because Jiro told him not to improvise on the day or it'd confuse the others, but it's exactly what she does. So cute. And just the cut to Eri smiling gleefully and Mirio crying happy tears, I weep every time, ugh my heart. Also that Deku MADE the damn candy apple for her because they didn't have any at the festival, I mean my heart. I also adore that Eri moves in to UA so Aizawa can basically adopt her. Obviously it's so they can keep an eye on her quirk and Aizawa's quirk is really the only solution, but also he's a full on girl dad and it pleases me to no end. I hope we see so much more. Also that Mirio is her basically her fulltime babysitter/nanny until he gets his quirk back, what a cutie.
Then we get the introduction of Hawks, mmm. This short king, I stg, Horikoshi knows EXACTLY what he's doing with the creation of this boy. The back of this book?!?! I mean...is it legal for a fictional, anime character to be this hot??! Also his quirk is so stinking cool (he can control each one of his feathers individually and if they get destroyed they'll grow back for more, like...so cool). I also adore that he took Tokoyami under his wing (get it lol) for work studies. Later he says 'us birdies got to stick together' which is quite possibly the cutest fucking thing ever. He's such a little shit, but he's honestly not really wrong. I respect his attitude, though it may be a little short-sided, but I love how much he ribs Endeavor. We find out more about this attack later in the series. He's an interesting guy and I'm still trying to wrap my head around Hawks, we still don't fully understand him, but I adore him, he's hot and complex, enough said.
This also begins Endeavor's arc and I cannot help how fascinating I find his character. I think his journey as the new #1 hero is so interesting because he's SUCH a different hero to All Might. I like to hope he deeply regrets his abusive actions to his family, also cannot blame them at all for how much they hate him, but we'll have to see. I don't think people are ever as black and white as good and bad, so I'm interested to see how his character develops. Even if he stays morally fucked, I'm still on board. I also love that during his battle everyone at UA (especially sweet Aizawa, such a good papa) immediately want to check on Todoroki. Shoto definitely has to deal with the worst when it comes to his dad, but I have hope they can develop something slightly healthy lol, but I guess we'll see.

Um, what just happened here? I thought we were having a nice light story about a school festival. Needless to say, I'll be picking up the next volume soon.

The conclusion of Midoriya’s fight with Gentle Criminal (a really creepy guy). It concludes in a way that honestly confused me. What was the purpose of it?
There’s some parallel made between Gentle trying to see La Brava smile (and no way you spin that, it reads really creepy) and Midoriya trying to see Eri smile. The difference being that Midoriya cared about Eri because she suffered a traumatic event and he didn’t think he really saved her until he could be sure she’d be able to feel joy again. Wholesome and sweet.
La Brava is a girl that truly just needed therapy. For some reason, getting rejected by one boy in middle school left her despondent and suicidal. That’s... so freaking weird and not a good story for anyone, especially a female character. She then gets unhealthily attached to a grown man who’s trying to seek glory any way that he can after failing out of hero school. La Brava’s only power helps him - which I feel was a (maybe unintentional?) metaphor for how a little girl’s praise helped Gentle feel better about himself. I mean... yikes. Maybe it’d be a tad less creepy if he was actually her father? This just reads like a story you hear about on To Catch a Predator...
Anyway, I enjoyed the festival. That was cute. I liked Hawks’ introduction and it ends on a cliffhanger.

We see the end of Gentle Criminal and Midoriya's fight, Class 1-A's dance/concert for the school festival and the new ranking of the heroes since the retirement of All Might. We also see a brand new type of enemy show up and take up a fight against the new number 1 hero, Endeavor.
