1. Its not going to take Naruto's place. Its not going to be a simple repeat of the themes that Naruto goes through 2. Naruto fleshed out its themes over the span of 700 chapters. Boku No Hero is at 64-65 currently. You can't really expect the latter to be as fleshed out. 3. With number 2 said, you'd still be wrong. I know I was. Whilst Boku No Hero's main theme still needs some time to grow, just like Naruto's did, there are alot of deep and growing themes that are staunchly different from Naruto.
I implore you to take some time to read it. As I said myself, I didn't think I would like it when I started, but it so far a really well done manga that is capable of succeeding Naruto in the vein Naruto and the others I mentioned succeeded DBZ, having similar veins but actually having strong differences in themes |
After having read the first 5 chapters here's my thoughts ...
1. Whatever it's going to do it definitely isn't going to succeed Naruto ...
2. Aside from the common "hard work pays off" which is in almost every battle manga geared towards the shounen demographic, I've seen not a lick of anything else that would hint a tragic sub-plot or a dark and serious story ...
3. Well if the themes are "staunchly different" then it most certainly isn't comparable to Naruto in any way and I doubt any other new themes that would be comparable to those in Naruto will develop when the the sample of what I tried and the title "Boku no Hero Academia" are anything to go by ...
So far Boku no Hero Academia is a far cry when it comes to the concept and the qualities of the themes that Naruto had. It feels nowhere near as good as Naruto is. The closest thing to Naruto that's also serialized by Weekly Shounen Jump right now is World Trigger and that's stretching it ...
