So if I say Boku no Hero Academia they'll think in English "My Hero Academia?" If so that's interesting, I thought they'd use their own native Japanese names for their own media.
- astrange 5y agoWell, MHA is supposed to feel like an American superhero comic even though it's set in Japan. So it's more like "My Hero Academia" is the title and 僕のヒーローアカデミア is a translation/furigana subtitle. "Boku no Hero" is also kind of hard to say out loud. But now that I think about it the use of "boku" (which is like an "androgynous" first person pronoun for boys or tomboys) probably means it's specifically about Deku's academic life.
