Not much to say on this one at this moment in time. While I do understand that there's a lot to go over throughout this entire series, I'm a little surprised that the latter half of the provisional license exam ends up being wrapped up in the first chunk of this volume. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make the pacing feel very abrupt.
The remaining portion of what we get sets up the next major arc, and we also end this volume with what has to be one of my favorite points of growth between Izuku and Katsuki. No doubt that'll also wrap up rather quickly in the beginning of the next volume, but it's still so crucial to understanding the continued evolution of them both as characters and of the way their relationship changes throughout the course of the series.
