Summary
Not everyone needs a license to fight for justice！
In a superpowered society， there is nothing ordinary about evil anymore。 Heroes， trained and licensed to protect and defend the public against supervillains， stand above all the rest。 Not everyone can be a hero， however， and there are those who would use their powers to serve the people without legal sanction。 But do they fight for justice in the shadows， or for reasons known only to themselves？ Whatever they fight for， they are called。。。vigilantes。
With the sky-high Sky Egg stadium teetering on the edge of destruction and thousands of lives at stake， Captain Celebrity and Koichi have held the line against a horde of flying bombers as long as they can。 But when Captain Celebrity’s strength finally gives out， who can save them from a long fall to their deaths？ Later， Knuckleduster returns to settle an old score， and Koichi， Pop and the Narufest crew look to the future as "Eraser Head" Aizawa remembers the past。

So this book starts and ends with a cliffhanger but the good news is that the next book is out so you can go straight into that and see what happens next。 I pretty much zoomed into this book getting the end result of that whole mini bomber things， the egg tower crumbling down with many people in danger and a hero in need。 Now if you are an Aizawa fan like I am your finally getting more of a back story on my favorite grumpy looking man。 I was so curious who was this cloud dude that was floating a So this book starts and ends with a cliffhanger but the good news is that the next book is out so you can go straight into that and see what happens next。 I pretty much zoomed into this book getting the end result of that whole mini bomber things， the egg tower crumbling down with many people in danger and a hero in need。 Now if you are an Aizawa fan like I am your finally getting more of a back story on my favorite grumpy looking man。 I was so curious who was this cloud dude that was floating around in many sites and cosplays and finally got some insight。 I loved getting this bit of him and seeing where the whole goggle things came from because before I didn't even care to know and now know there is a bit of sentimental and practical use from it。 There is so much to like but you'll have to read it and make sure you have the next book handy with how this ends you'll kick yourself if you dont。 。。。more

Captain Celebrity's arc is coming to an end， Knuckleduster gets back on the stage and we get to see some background story for Aizawa in this one。 All in all， a lot happens and I can't say that I didn't like it。 Still， I'm getting the feeling that the series gradually loses its focus on what it wants to tell。This started out as a side story with its own charming characters， low stakes and the occasional MHA cameo。 Now it feels like a side-playground where more stories about MHA can be told and th Captain Celebrity's arc is coming to an end， Knuckleduster gets back on the stage and we get to see some background story for Aizawa in this one。 All in all， a lot happens and I can't say that I didn't like it。 Still， I'm getting the feeling that the series gradually loses its focus on what it wants to tell。This started out as a side story with its own charming characters， low stakes and the occasional MHA cameo。 Now it feels like a side-playground where more stories about MHA can be told and the main character Koichi mostly gets ignored or forgotten。 Yeah， I love Aizawas backstory but it's very long for a manga that's not supposed to be about him。 And I love All Might， but I was honestly disappointed when he swooped in to play Deus Ex Machina （they even lampshade this in the manga！） and take away all the tension and effort of all the other heroes。Yes， I know Koichi got to shine in this one， but in the end， he still got sidelined。 I LIKED the low stakes of Vigilantes， I love the quirky side characters like the rough High School brawlers and the slightly shady Hotta brothers。 Let Koichi and co。 save kittens from a tree， let them do detective work， let them solve the small cases that might be connected to something bigger。 This isn't the Avengers， this is Daredevil and Jessica Jones， and by bringing in too many big names， they're just diminishing the actual story。 Honestly， all I want at this point is for Koichi and Knuckleduster to team up again and do actual vigilante stuff。 （On a sidenote: I don't even know what Pop is even doing in this series as a main character？ She's cute， but she obviously has no real interest in being a vigilante besides occasional support and calling the authorities when help is needed。 And I'm truly tired with the storylines about her shows。） 。。。more

This series has some serious pacing issues。It does have some redeeming character moments。 It also holds some information on MHA characters past which at the moment is one of the main reasons I am sticking to reading this。

It’s not that I didn’t like this volume， a lot of elements I enjoyed quite a bit， especially seeing some of eraser heads school days， alongside other pro hero’s from the main series。 I think mainly my biggest gripe was how most of Kiochi’s achievements in the arc， and how well he was helping CC， was just overshadowed by All might coming in and fixing the whole situation。 Taking the high stakes ending of volume 7， and just resolving it near instantaneously。 Although， on a positive note， I enjoyed It’s not that I didn’t like this volume， a lot of elements I enjoyed quite a bit， especially seeing some of eraser heads school days， alongside other pro hero’s from the main series。 I think mainly my biggest gripe was how most of Kiochi’s achievements in the arc， and how well he was helping CC， was just overshadowed by All might coming in and fixing the whole situation。 Taking the high stakes ending of volume 7， and just resolving it near instantaneously。 Although， on a positive note， I enjoyed seeing more of Knuckle dusters past be revealed， and getting his fight scene with the high speed villain， who has multiple quirks similar to the Nomu in the main series。 Hopefully the next volume is more exciting， and doesn’t have another quick fix from Almight， and we get to see more gritty vigilante justice from the characters that we’ve had so much time invested in。 。。。more

Deus Ex All Might！This wasn't a bad volume， but our main characters are hardly in it。 We do get some interesting reveals about Knuckleduster in the middle， while the ending of the whole Sky Egg fiasco wraps up early on （see opening sentence） in a flashy if slightly unsatisfying way。 Then the series decides to play flashback and flesh out Eraser Head and Present Mic's past， which would be fine if this wasn't a series that already had main characters we could be dealing with instead。 It's an odd c Deus Ex All Might！This wasn't a bad volume， but our main characters are hardly in it。 We do get some interesting reveals about Knuckleduster in the middle， while the ending of the whole Sky Egg fiasco wraps up early on （see opening sentence） in a flashy if slightly unsatisfying way。 Then the series decides to play flashback and flesh out Eraser Head and Present Mic's past， which would be fine if this wasn't a series that already had main characters we could be dealing with instead。 It's an odd choice - I do like that the heroes play bigger roles in Vigilantes than they do in the main MHA book， but this isn't their story， so it's hard not to feel a little disappointed that we have to wait till next time to see what's next for Crawler and co。 。。。more

4。5/5 and only because it’s unfinished。There were two different stories in this volume and I loved both。 Knuckleduster vs number 6 was cool。 Knuckles is a great fighter， especially because he doesn’t have a quirk anymore and his experience with that particular quirk really helped out。 This number 6 guy， cute little squishy thing， is probably a prototype of a Nomu tight？ This is All For One’s doing， passing quirks on to these little beings made by the doctor。 Seeing that little thing watch TV and 4。5/5 and only because it’s unfinished。There were two different stories in this volume and I loved both。 Knuckleduster vs number 6 was cool。 Knuckles is a great fighter， especially because he doesn’t have a quirk anymore and his experience with that particular quirk really helped out。 This number 6 guy， cute little squishy thing， is probably a prototype of a Nomu tight？ This is All For One’s doing， passing quirks on to these little beings made by the doctor。 Seeing that little thing watch TV and cut his face was very funny and I can’t help but find it cute。 They must have implanted it into that guy’s human body or it grew？ There confrontation was very interesting and I love seeing Knuckles in action。Then we start Aizawa’s backstory。 Because I’m already caught up with MHA， I know how it all goes down so it’s very sad。 I love these four and Oboro especially because I know we are going to lose him。 Seeing Prince was a surprise。 This part was full of joy。 The cat antics and Aizawa’s moodiness being obliterated by Shirakumo’s heroics and indomitable cheerfulness。 Oboro is meant to be the Mirio in Aizawa’s story and so he is destined for tragedy。 I hate to see it happen but I like reading it。 。。。more
