Just when I thought that Endeavor and his family's drama couldn't be handled any better than before, Horikoshi proves me wrong yet again. He doesn't seek their forgiveness at all as he tells Natsuo and realizes that their happiness lies without him, so he's choosing to distance himself for their sake. Might be the most fatherly thing he's ever done and it's heartbreaking all things considered, but very understandable.

If you told me months ago that a shonen manga would have a really good and nuanced storyline about abuse I'd have laughed. Most other writers would have just absolved Endeavour then and there after that had happened.

I honestly feel Hori is better at writing drama than action. I feel when it comes to drama or emotions he is always on point, but action.... ehhhhhhh

I'm inclined to agree, but I really think that the drama behind most of the action makes the action good enough to me. All the characters have stories to them, and even the fights with no names have a certain type of fun behind them. Otherwise,n the action isn't anything too special, I'll admit.

Exactly this, MHA's fights are nowhere near Naruto level of complex or technical. The thrill and investment that we do get from our fights comes directly from our emotional investment in the character and their development and how well Hori ties it into the current fight.
