My Hero Academia Volume 23 by Kohei Horikoshi
The big battle between Class A and Class B finally finishes with dramatic (and expected) results. As the kids go back to their school routine, the story shifts to the villains. The band of bad guys has some potential new resources offered by a mysterious doctor. He'll let them have the stuff if they can defeat a powerful monster that he unleashes on their leader. Meanwhile another group, the Meta Liberation Army, is going public in an effort to let those with quirks do whatever they want.
The story takes an interesting shift, showing some of the villains' plans as the heroes retreat to the background. The MLA has a lot of corporate sponsors who are ready to unleash over 100,000 followers, or so they claim
Mildly recommended--it's fun to come back to this story but readers need a lot of the backstory, this is not a good starting point.

The next big battle is between the League of Villains and the Meta Liberation Army. The MLA is ostensibly pro-quirk, wanting those with special abilities to be treated equally. They see the League as an obstacle to their agenda, so they start a fight in their headquarters's home town. The story delves into the backgrounds of a lot of the villains with nary a hero in sight. The drama is good with the weird shift into sympathizing with, if not rooting for, the bad guys. The author does a good job showing how the bad guys wound up on the side of evil and develops some more of the bigger story of quirk development and enhancement.
Mildly recommended.
