She reminds me of Hinata minus the shyness. And that name is about the cutest name an author's ever written into a manga

I've seen a lot of people make comparisons between this series and Naruto lately, but.... I just don't see it. I mean, I guess I can kinda see how Aizawa is a bit similar to Kakashi due to how laid back they are, but that's really about it. As me and some others said already, it has much more in common with OPM than anything (superhero-themed, untalented main character who had to train his butt off to gain his abilities, goofy character designs, etc.). I mean, I get that people will want to find a series to fill in Naruto's void now that it ended, but come on, guys!
Anyway.... all that being said, I just wanna mention that I also went and looked ahead at the rest of the raws (not the Chinese scans), up to the latest one (ch. 18). It's a real blast, too: Spoiler for future chapters:

I just think its the combination of this being the hottest new Jump property since Soma, it being a very promising battle shounen (when was the last time we got one of those, huh?) and the fact that the recent start coincides timing-wise with Naruto's ending. From what I've seen, it got a lot of people looking at this like it's the successor to Naruto's place in the Big Three, when really, much of the meaning in that trinity was lost years ago.

I get why people are saying it's like Naruto and all but my main concern is that's going to be what people want from it and when if it doesn't meet peoples stardards it'll get axed. This is way too good for that a know?

In regards to the bold, considering that the series was already finding success BEFORE Naruto ended, I don't see it getting axed anytime soon. Heck, it even already surpassed the author's previous series in the number of chapters (Bulge had 16, currently this series is at 19). And I'm fairly confident that it'll surpass Oumagadoki Zoo (author's first series) in due time, as well. Spoiler for future chapters:
Oh, and one last thing, I found something neat from the author's twitter account: |

I don't know but I think that most of the SJ authors should learn from Naruto writer. Why would the writer only gave each hero one unique ability? Things may get stale after 100 chapters if the heroes only stuck at one theme.
So, is this series doing good? Will this series going to end up like Psyren? |

I knew frog girl was going to be a popular side character/pixiv favorite the moment she showed up.

It's not like I don't understand the sentiment given the timing of things, but please let the young hero stand on his own two feet, guys. The weight of All Might's legacy alone is heavy enough. |

More so than giving characters dozens of abilities and power ups, I'd rather see a single ability being explored and utilized in creative ways. Law of Ueki is a shining example of this in the shounen genre. "Less is more", something which Kishimoto never applied to Naruto.
