In a world where 80% of the world's population have super powers (or quirks as they call them), everyone in the world dreams of being a superhero. Superheroes are basically celebrities and are paid based on their publicity and popularity. One boy named Izuku Midoriya dreams of becoming a hero himself but to truly help people rather than for fame and fortune. There's only one problem: he's quirkless. Without superpowers, quirkless people are looked down upon on society and considered worthless. As a result, Izuku is constantly bullied and no one pays much attention to him. All of that changes when he meets his personal idol, the number one hero in the world, the symbol of peace, All Might. After witnessing a selfless and heroic act by quirkless Izuku, All Might is inspired to train him to be a hero.

Light Yagami was a prodigal student who was truly bored with life. One day, he finds a black notebook. Inside the notebook, it says that whoever's name is written in the pages, that person will die. Light doesn't think much of it at first but when he writes the name of a criminal in the notebook, he is shocked to see that it worked! He then encounters the owner of the notebook, a shinigami (spirit of death or grim reaper) name Ryuk.

Case Closed (Detective Conan) -
Jimmy Kudo was a brilliant high school detective who consulted with the police in impossible cases on a daily basis. One night, he saw something that he shouldn't have.

Assassination Classroom-
It all starts with the moon. One minute it's fine. Then, BOOM! 70% of the moon completely vaporizes in a second, leaving the moon in a permanent crescent shape. The story takes place in a prestigious middle school where students are ranked based on their academic performance, from Class A being the top honor students to Class E being the underachievers, misfits, and delinquents. On the first day of school, Class E is introduced to a yellow octopus monster who claims to have destroyed the moon and threatens to do the same thing to planet Earth by the end of the school year! Until then, he's going to be their new teacher. With the help of the Department of Defense, all of the Class E students must train to become assassins and kill the teacher before he destroys the planet. The only problem is that he's unkillable with his super speed (topping off at Mach 20). How can they kill something that fast and what can this monster actually teach them?
Soul Eater-
A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound body. In a school founded and run by the Grim Reaper himself, students train with other students who can transform into weapons so they can claim souls that are pure evil. If they claim enough souls, they become Death Scythes, the Grim Reaper's own personal weapons. Can these students preserve peace in a world full of witches, monsters, and evil souls?
Bonus: Shaman King-
This is one of my personal favorite mangas ever (the anime is also good)! This story focuses on a boy named Yoh Asakura. Yoh is a shaman, someone who interacts with spirits and the world beyond. Yoh, along with other shamans in the world, is preparing for the Shaman Tournament which happens once every 500 years. Whoever wins the tournament will be crowned Shaman King and will be blessed with the power of the Great King of Spirits to shape the world however they see fit. With the power of spirits in his hands, can Yoh become Shaman King and save the world from those of evil intent?
