This one's a gray area. While the story uses BNHA's setting, its core mechanic—armor synthesis—isn't referenced in any guidebooks. I compared its timeline to the anime; events don't align with seasons 4 or 5. The art team admits on DeviantArt that it's a passion project. Solid world-building, but definitely not canon.
'MHA The Rising Armor' definitely caught my attention. After digging around official sources and fan forums, it's clear this story isn't part of Horikoshi's original manga or anime. The plot revolves around an OC protagonist with armor-based quirks, which feels fresh but lacks the signature pacing and character dynamics of canon material. Fan wikis list it as a popular doujinshi, with art styles and power scaling that diverge noticeably from the main series. The absence of any mention in Shonen Jump or Studio Bones' releases confirms its fan-made status. That said, the creativity in its world-building—like the 'Armor Registry' system—shows how vibrant the fandom can be when reimagining quirks.
What makes it stand out is its focus on tech-enhanced heroism, a niche barely explored in canon. The story borrows established characters like Midoriya but gives them alternate roles, which is a dead giveaway for non-canon works. While it's well-written enough to fool casual fans, the lack of tie-ins with major arcs like the Paranormal Liberation War seals the deal. It's a high-quality fan project, not an official spin-off.
'MHA The Rising Armor' is a textbook example of ambitious fanfiction. It mimics canon aesthetics—UA High, hero rankings—but introduces original elements like exoskeleton quirks that clash with Horikoshi's established rules. The story's pacing is faster than the manga's, cramming in OC villains and gear upgrades that wouldn't fit Kohei's meticulous storytelling. I checked Japanese fan boards, and even there it's tagged as 二次創作 (doujin work). The art is impressive, but key details are off: All Might's proportions in one poster were exaggerated, and Uraraka's dialogue doesn't match her canon voice. Fun read, but undeniably fan-made.
Debating canon status is my jam, and 'The Rising Armor' fails every litmus test. Its plot holes are glaring—like a Quirkless character suddenly welding power armor without support course ties. Canon crossovers are minimal; Bakugo appears for two chapters but acts wildly OOC, prioritizing teamwork over explosions. The story's Patreon-funded development also exposes its unofficial roots. It does nail the hero academia vibe, with classroom dynamics and villain raids that feel authentic. Still, the original author's Tumblr posts about 'writing fan alternate universes' settle the debate.

The city looked like it had been devoured — chewed up by fire, time, and whatever came after — then spit back out in jagged pieces.
Dead drones dangled from power lines like rusted ornaments. Neon signs flickered above fractured pavement, their broken scripts glitching into gibberish. Down the block, a half - melted smartcar burned slow, casting warped shadows across the skeletal remains of a coffee bar.
Behind a crumpled tram car, someone crouched low, breath tight in her lungs.
The shrieking hadn’t stopped.
It came again — sharp, bone-deep, the kind of sound that latched onto your spine and refused to let go. She checked the signal jammer at her hip. Still blinking. Still active.
Not for long.
They were tracking her. She moved fast — boots silent over broken glass, slipping through the breach in an old laundromat’s wall. Her body moved from muscle memory now: slide through, duck left, over the washer, don’t look at the corpse slumped by the dryer.
Out the back. Up the fire escape.
On the rooftop, she halted. Not alone.
Someone was already there — silhouetted against the bleeding sunset. Combat jacket. Short - cropped hair. Pulse rifle slung casually over one shoulder like it weighed nothing. Like this was just another rooftop, just another war.
“Don’t move,” the voice snapped.
She lifted her hands slowly. “I’m clean.”
“Everyone says that.”
“Scan me.”
beat. Then the girl stepped forward, rifle still raised but gaze locked in. Dark eyes, sharp, searching — not just for weapons, but tells. Fear. Lies.
She lowered the rifle half an inch.
“You’re lucky you’re cute.”
That wasn’t the line she expected.

Mix of some reality and fantasy. Based on my weird dream about 15 years ago.
The time of heroes has passed. The ages of the empires and their glory have all passed. The world is on the road to annihilation. The demons have moved and their invasion and corruption can be seen in every corner of the world. The Gods which the people have believed in for years have not made a move.

Oh, 'My Hero Academia: The Support Hero's Harem'? That title definitely caught my attention when I first stumbled across it. From what I know, it's not part of the official 'My Hero Academia' canon. The main series, both the manga and anime, focus on Izuku Midoriya and his journey to become the Symbol of Peace. This spinoff sounds like a fan-created or doujinshi work, which are super common in the fandom—there are tons of alternate universe stories floating around.
I love how creative fans get with their takes on the 'MHA' universe, even if they aren't canon. Some of these unofficial stories explore interesting what-ifs, like if a support course student became the protagonist. While it’s fun to imagine, I’d always recommend checking the original manga or anime for the real deal. Kohei Horikoshi’s world-building is so rich that even the side characters get their moments to shine without needing non-canon additions.
