    Does the "my" refer to Deku as in the school he goes to or is it a collective reference to the audience/readers/viewers or both?

    Then it would be Our Hero Academia or A Hero's Academia.

    'Our Hero Academia' sounds like the whole settings were in Soviet rather than Japan.

    As it was pointed out, the very first chapter contained a narration part where it's made explicit that this is a story hero Deku is recounting about how he became the greatest hero (which may be why there's such a stark contrast between the Deku that's shown to us and the perception the rest of the cast has of him).
