ヴィジランテ-僕のヒーローアカデミア Illegals [Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Illegals]

Set in the same world as My Hero Academia, this Shueisha series shifts focus from licensed heroes to the underground vigilantes operating in the shadows of society. Running from 2017 to 2022 across 15 issues, it explores the moral gray areas of heroism through characters like the mysterious Knuckleduster and the quirkless teenager Koichi Haimawari. Written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, the series expands the universe by delving into the early days of All Might's career and the origins of the villainous Trigger drug. It’s a gritty, grounded companion piece that adds crucial context to the main saga.
