Bones Studio is back to bring this story to life in anime form, and IGN's review of the first episode praised it as "a worthy spin-off of the popular superhero anime." Here's the official synopsis:

Koichi Haimawari is an unassuming college student who dreams of becoming a hero but has resigned himself to a normal life. In a world where 80% of the population possesses superhuman abilities called Quirks, only a select few are chosen to become professional heroes. Koichi's life takes a dramatic turn when he and Pop☆Step are rescued by the vigilante Knuckleduster, who then recruits them to join him in his unsanctioned heroics.
