Kohei Horikoshi has officially confirmed that he is working on a brand-new manga. The announcement coincides with the release of the final volume of My Hero Academia.

In an interview published on Marvel’s website, Horikoshi revealed his plans for the future, stating, “I’m planning to start a new manga as soon as I possibly can.”

While the artist briefly considered collaborating with a separate writer, his editor encouraged him to handle both storytelling and art for the new series.

“I was thinking to committing myself to simply drawing my next project, and letting someone else write the story, but my editor advised me ‘It will be better if you do it all yourself.’ With that in mind, I’ve slowly started writing and drawing the thumbnails of my next manga. However, there are still several events left surrounding Mha, so for a while I’ll still be committed to supporting and promoting it.

The final chapter of My Hero Academia may have concluded the story, but fans can expect even more in the manga’s last volume.

Scheduled for release on Dec 4, 2024, the 42nd volume will include exclusive content that extends beyond the original ending.

According to an announcement on the official X account of My Hero Academia, the final volume will feature a 38-page bonus manga.

This exclusive addition will explore events that go beyond the series’ final chapter, offering fans a glimpse into what happens after the story’s conclusion.

My Hero Academia manga wrapped up its 10-year run on Aug 5, 2024.

To celebrate the legacy of the manga, Kohei Horikoshi is collaborating with Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, which also concluded this year, for a special art exhibition at Jump Festa 2025.

Kohei Horikoshi started serializing the manga in Shueisha...

It's no stretch to say that My Hero Academia's Minoru Mineta may be the most controversial character in the entire franchise, but Mineta's English voice actor seems to have had enough with the hate that the character receives. Turning to Instagram, Mineta's voice actor Brina Palencia defended the character as "just a child."

Mineta is an often controversial character for falling into the "pervert" archetype, an unfortunately common class of character in anime and manga. Mineta approaches most things with a sexual bent, often harassing the girls in Class 1-a (and even pro heroes) whom he finds attractive. While these moments are often played for laughs, many My Hero Academia fans, particularly in the West, tend to find the character unpalatable at best and downright offensive at worst. As Mineta's English voice actor, Palencia felt the need to address some of the vitriol aimed at the character in a social media post.

The second feature film inspired by Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia series — 2019's My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising — is officially available to stream on Crunchyroll. You can now watch as Class 1-a heads to Nabu Island and gets way more than they bargained for during their safety work program. Watch My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising right here !

The place is so peaceful that it feels like a vacation—until they're attacked by a villain with an unfathomable Quirk! With All Might retired and citizens' lives on the line, there's no time for questions. Deku and his friends are the next generations of heroes, and they're the island's only hope.

After almost 60 years of circulation, Shnen Jump has long since established itself as the biggest manga magazine in the world. Not only does it have the highest circulation of any other publication, but the manga published under its brand are consistently the most popular in the world, as are the anime adaptations they inevitably receive, even when they happen decades after the fact.

The Shnen Jump brand has become synonymous with manga, and its easy to see why. The popularity of Shnen Jump manga has never come from nowhere; Shnen Jump manga typically have some of the best action, writing, and worldbuilding of any manga that a person can read, and as the years have gone by, that idea has only gotten stronger. A few manga, in particular, stand out in that regard, and each one does a great job of embodying everything thats made the Shnen Jump brand so strong.

Season 8 of My Hero Academia has been confirmed to be the final season of the anime, and is expected to release in 2025.

While the official announcement is yet to be made, the My Hero Mass Media section from the upcoming Weekly Shonen Jump magazine has been making rounds online, revealing the info on the final season of the anime.

With the manga already completed and the anime set to finish soon, fans have described this news as bittersweet.

The confirmation of a full season instead of a film has left fans relieved that the final chapters of the manga will receive a proper adaptation.

Some had feared that the final story arc might be rushed into a film format, which they felt would have negatively impacted the pacing and the quality of the conclusion.

The official X account of Shonen Jump announced that a special one-shot manga by Kohei Horikoshi for the latest My Hero Academia film, titled My Hero Academia: You’re Next, has been published on Viz Media on Oct 8, 2024.

The one-shot is titled My Hero Academia Special One-Shot Manga: A Piece of Cake.

My Hero Academia The Movie: You’re Next hit the Japanese theatres on Aug 2, 2024, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on Oct 11, 2024.

Tensai Okamura served as the director for the anime film.

Other staff includes:

Scriptwriter: Yosuke Kuroda Character Designer: Yoshihiko Umakoshi Music Composer: Yuki Hayashi Animation Advisor: Kenji Nagasaki Animation Studio: bones

The movie is based on an original story by author Kohei Horikoshi, who also handled the character designs and was in charge of general supervision of the movie. The author said that the events of the movie will align with the chronology of the My Hero Academia anime.

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising, the second movie in the franchise, introduced fans to a new cast of unique and intriguing villains. One of the most memorable is Chimera, an individual with a Heteromorphic Quirk that gave him the appearance and abilities of various animals combined.

During his battle against the members of Class 1-a, Chimera made a comment to Shoji that brought attention to the discrimination Heteromorphs suffer in the series. While at the time this comment seemed like a simple taunt, the topic of equality for individuals like Shoji and Chimera ended up becoming key to the Final War arc of the series.

My Hero Academia's most highly-regarded movie among overseas fans will soon become available internationally on Netflix. Fans will be able to watch the film, Heroes Rising, near the end of this month, with the movie releasing on Netflix starting Sept. 26.

This information was noted by @WhatsOnNetflix on X (formerly Twitter), a fan account for the streaming service. While the first film of the movie series, Two Heroes, has been available for streaming through Crunchyroll and Max, Heroes Rising has previously only been available for individual streaming purchase on Prime Video. Having first been released in theaters back in late 2019 in Japan, many feel this availability is more than overdue. However, with the recent conclusion of the My Hero Academia manga, now feels like a fitting time for fans to sit down and rewatch -- especially as the film's exciting climax was one of the original ideas for the manga's end.

Warning: Contains spoilers for My Hero Academia chapter #429.Not long after Shigaraki and All For One met their definitive end in My Hero Academia, the series teased the emergence of another mysterious villain set to cause problems for everyone. Whether it would lead to another fight or give Izuku and his friends another chance to help someone, the setup was still there for one final battle before the story ended.

There was plenty of setup for a fight with My Hero Academias mysterious new character, but that wasnt the case. After disappearing for multiple chapters, the mysterious new character finally returned in My Hero Academias penultimate chapter, and despite the build-up surrounding him, he was dealt with very quickly and without Izuku or any other major characters ever meeting him.

It was a very anticlimactic conclusion to the conflict, but the anticlimactic ending to My Hero Academias final conflict reflects the storys overarching message,...

The latest box office info for My Hero Academia: You’re Next has been revealed that the film has drawn 1.22 million viewers and earned 1.77 billion yen in revenue within 11 days of its release.

To celebrate this milestone, the staff of the film announced a second round of promotional gifts for the theatregoers.

Starting Aug 17, a limited edition set of mini shikishi featuring original artwork by Kohei Horikoshi. The artwork showcases Deku, Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki, along with Julio, an original character from the movie, all styled with neatly parted hair in a butler fashion.

It will be distributed to the first 500,000 moviegoers nationwide.

In addition to this, the non-credit video of the film’s theme song, Homonculus, performed by Vaundy, has also been revealed.

My Hero Academia The Movie: You’re Next is hit the Japanese theatres on Aug 2, 2024.

It earned 370 million yen in its opening day, surpassing the opening day...

My Hero Academia: You’re Next, the latest anime film in the franchise, has earned 890 million yen in revenue in the Japanese box office and attracted 608,000 viewers within the first three days of its release.

The official X account celebrated the milestone, announcing, “The No.1 hit start of the series. In the three days up to Sunday, August 4, it has surpassed 608,000 viewers and 890 million yen in box office revenue! Thank you very much!!“

The film, released in 488 theaters nationwide, including 51 IMAX, 63 4Dx, 13 MX4D, and 9 Dolby Cinema screens, had a strong opening day, with 260,000 viewers and 370 million yen in revenue.

This surpassed the opening day revenue of the previous series record holder, My Hero Academia The Movie: World Heroes’ Mission, by 118%. Toho, the film’s distributor, stated that ‘You’re Next‘ has had the No.1 hit start in the series’ history and is on track to surpass 4 billion yen in total box office revenue.

Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia has finally come to an end after a decade, and fans have not enjoyed the finale, primarily because of how subpar it was. This is not very reassuring, considering the fact that the mangaka had kept its audience hooked with a gripping storyline that took them on a rollercoaster of emotions.

During this epic journey, fans witnessed the growth of Izuku Midoriya, who went from being a quirkless boy in a superhero world to possessing the greatest Quirk and fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming the #1 Pro-Hero. However, fans have been criticizing the series finale for several factors, with one of the major concerns being character development.

Fans have gone to social media, criticizing one major and irreparable aspect of how Horikoshi-San has fumbled the show, which had the potential to go down as one of the best Shonen series ever made.

After 10 long years, My Hero Academia manga has concluded with all Class 1 A students finally graduating. Indeed, the final arc of Heroes Vs Villain captivated several viewers to stick to the end and watch Deku crush All for One’s evil plan.

Safe to say, My Hero Academia has left a special place in many fans’ hearts. Furthermore, Kōhei Horikoshi’s narrative of adding the complexities between good and evil made the anime a lot more engaging for its viewers. Not to forget that Horikoshi received tons of tributes from his fellow manga creators such as Eiichiro Oda, Akutami Gege, Yuto Suzuki, and many more.

The final chapter of My Hero Academia fails to get the focus it deserves on Shonen Jump's new cover. Fans are disheartened as Luffy from One Piece overshadows Deku once again. My Hero Academia's rise to success and its finale deserve more recognition.

Shonen Jump's newest cover just disrespected My Hero Academia in the same issue that contains its final chapter, and it is equally sad and disappointing at the same time. Despite My Hero Academia being one of Shonen Jump's most popular manga series in the last decade, the cover of its upcoming issue fails to give it the focus it deserves for its grand finale, which has left fans quite discontent.

While the possibility of an art book has created significant hype, it was the upcoming announcement of the secret project that has sparked a wave of excitement and speculation among fans.

In a recent interview with Viz Media, Kohei Horikoshi revealed that he had detailed backstories of several characters in My Hero Academia manga that he chose to not include.

While discussing this, he admitted to having fully developed backstories for the previous inheritors of One For All, which he revealed to have intentionally left out.

“I have characters and backstories that I created but didn’t include in the story. For instance, I have detailed stories for the previous inheritors of One For All. I intentionally left these out.“

Horikoshi’s inspiration for this creative choice comes from the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day, where the future from which the characters originate is hinted at but not fully depicted.

The author aimed to replicate this approach in My Hero Academia, allowing readers to fill in the gaps with their imaginations.

“Rather than drawing out all the well-thought-out backgrounds and episodes,...

The fourth installment in the My Hero Academia franchise is coming to US theaters this fall.

With the final war in My Hero Academia ending, the series is getting really close to its conclusion, and fans are definitely going to miss Kohei Horikoshi’s magnum opus that entertained the manga community for ten years. However, the manga was not the only aspect of the series to which Horikoshi contributed.

My Hero Academia | Studio Bones

The mangaka also minimally helped the anime series get better with each episode, but his major contribution besides the manga was in the somewhat canonical movies that became a big part of the My Hero Academia franchise. Horikoshi has contributed to almost every My Hero Academia movie there is, and his contribution is one of the main reasons why they are such a big success.

However, initially, Horikoshi might not have been as focused on the movies as he was supposed to be. But during the production of the second My Hero Academia movie,...

The official X account of Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia revealed that the manga will conclude in just five chapters.

The announcement comes alongside a message from series creator Kohei Horikoshi, who apologized for a two-week hiatus due to scheduling difficulties, and assured fans that the remaining five chapters will be exciting for everyone.

He also expressed his gratitude to readers for their support over the past decade, acknowledging the series’ nearly ten-year run.

Checkout Horikoshi’s message below:

Sorry for the two-week break! My schedule got all piled up like a mille-feuille! There are just 5 chapters left until the end. Some might think, “There’s still 5 chapters left?!” while others might think, “Only 5 chapters left?!” but I’ll do my best to make sure both sides enjoy the last 5 chapters!

Overhaul, the quirk of Kai Chisaki, the main villain in My Hero Academia's Shie Hassaikai arc, allows him to deconstruct and reconstruct anything he touches with his bare hands.

Code Geass, a beloved anime series, is returning for another movie continuing the storyline. The movie will focus on new characters, Rozé and Ashe, and showcase advanced animation technology. The movie features a talented staff, including animators from the original series, and is expected to be a success.

The beloved anime series Code Geass is returning for yet another movie after many years of radio silence. Hailed as one of the best anime ever and an icon of the mech genre, the war-filled series will receive another film that continues the previous one's story.

The project was announced back in December 2020, and fans had to wait for more than 2 years before any other information was released. As the days led up to December 20, 2023, it was announced that news regarding the project would be announced, breaking the long drought.

A trailer was released alongside a key visual and a list of the staff and cast.

In a surprising revelation at Jump Festa 2024, Kohei Horikoshi, the creator of My Hero Academia, disclosed that he had initially intended to kill off a prominent character in the series.

The character in question is none other than Endeavor.

During the My Hero Academia panel at Jump Festa, Horikoshi revealed in a letter that he had initially planned to kill off Endeavor at the beginning of the Paranormal Liberation War arc. The decision was, however, scrapped off at the last minute due to a a change of heart Horikoshi had while working on the intense battle between Endeavor and the High-End.

Turns out, after witnessing the character development of Endeavor, Horikoshi decided to spare the hero’s life, opting for a different narrative trajectory.

Horikoshi had also revealed during Jump Festa ’24 that if My Hero Academia continued till Jump Festa 2025 next year, then a Dogeza festival will be held on the stage.

Manga authors making important announcements and commenting on their ongoing series are a common sight at Jump Festa stages. At Jump Fest 2022, Kohei Horikoshi, the author of My Hero Academia manga caused a stir when he said that the manga will end in a year if “everything goes according to plan.”

Fast forward a year, Mha showed no signs of ending and at Jump Festa 2023 the author called himself a “sweet summer child” for completely skewing his prediction. This time, he clarified that the manga certainly was close to its climax but did not give a fixed timeline for the end.

Come Jump Festa 2024, My Hero Academia manga is still going strong. But Horikoshi reiterated what he said at the previous event – the manga’s climax is near. However, he added that there were still many things he wanted to draw beyond the battle that was currently ongoing in the manga.

My Hero Academia‘s stage at Jump Festa 2024 on Dec 16, 2023 streamed a new Pv for the seventh season of the anime.

The Pv revealed that Mha Season 7 will release on May 4, 2024. However, before the anime starts airing, a 4 episode recap series, titled My Hero Academia Memories, will be broadcast starting from April 6, 2023. It will also contain some new original scenes from “important stories” leading up to the seventh season.

Both season 7 and the recap episodes will air on Saturdays on Yomiuri TV and 29 stations of Nippon TV nationwide in Japan.

The seventh season (episode 139 of the anime) will adapt from chapter 329 of the manga (volume 34).

Kenji Nagasaki will reprise his role as the chief director in the upcoming Mha Season 7 at Bones, while Naomi Nakayama, who was involved in the production season 6, will be the new director.

The new season was confirmed to be under production in March 2023. Romi Park...

A leaked image from the upcoming Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #2 of 2024 has been making rounds on social media platforms. The image appears to confirm the much-anticipated release date for the seventh season of My Hero Academia.

My Hero Academia season 7 is scheduled to release in Spring 2024.

Accompanying the release date is a new visual featuring Deku, Bakugo, Ochako, and Todoroki.

My Hero Academia Season 6 started airing from Oct 1, 2022, with the second cour starting from Jan 7, 2023.

Like the previous seasons, Studio Bones is in charge of animating the series. My Hero Academia Season 6 adapted the war arc from the manga.

My Hero Academia is a manga series written and illustrated by Kōhei Horikoshi.

Bakugo's return to the battlefield has fans questioning if a key moment from the second My Hero Academia movie is canonical after all. Bakugo's irises are glowing with a strange power, similar to Deku's when he uses One for All at its full potential, leading fans to speculate if Bakugo also possesses One for All. The implications of Bakugo's return and potential connection to One for All are still unclear, and fans eagerly await the next chapter to provide further explanation.

My Hero Academia is one of the most popular new-gen anime. This anime came out at the height of superheroes' popularity, which was the perfect time. However, it wasn't just the genre that attracted people to this anime, but its fantastic storytelling and characters.

Mha is praised by most fans, but it isn't immune from criticism. No story is perfect; the characters in this series are just as prone to making stupid decisions that are clearly just for the plot. It's easy to let some of these dumb plotlines slide, but others are hard to ignore.

One For All

Fans love the Mha movies, especially My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising. However, fans were disappointed by the ending because of how silly it was. Midoriya transfers the Quirk One For All to Bakugo in order to defeat the villain Nine.

The key is in some familiar faces depicted among those reacting, including some making their manga debut for the first time.

In chapter 384, two news helicopters report on the events of the battle, even though they don't have the support of a network. The reporters appear to be live-streaming the fight, and as word gets around, more and more people are tuning in to see exactly what's going on. Included among the faces are the foreign heroes Elecplant and Salaam, who appeared in the first and third movies respectively, Melissa Shield, also from the first movie,...

Renowned Japanese filmmaker Shinsuke Sato has signed on to direct a live-action adaptation of “My Hero Academia” for Legendary Entertainment.

The prolific filmmaker will make his English-language debut with the movie, which is based on the globally acclaimed manga property. “My Hero Academia,” written and illustrated by Kohei Horikoshi, is among the most popular manga titles in the world with over 50 million copies in circulation.

The anime industry only continues to grow larger and more mainstream with each passing year. It’s remarkable to see the growth, whether it’s through the wider prevalence and variety of dubbed content or the number of anime-based streaming services. Anime has alway been on the fringe of pop culture’s interests, but part of what makes it such an exciting form of art is that it doesn’t just entertain audiences in unpredictable ways, but it often excels with its inclusion of underrepresented groups. This has helped anime become such a universal product that doesn’t just speak to everyone, but specifically highlights those that may get overlooked elsewhere.

Dani Chambers and Lee George are two talented voice actors from Funimation who have taken some time to discuss and spotlight Blackrepresentation in the anime industry, the connection that they...

After selling off a half-dozen titles to Amazon and Netflix, “Love and Monsters” is one of the few Paramount Pictures titles to receive a 2020 theatrical release. It’s not much of a release — 387 theaters this weekend, for $255,000 — but its PVOD performance (at $19.99) may suggest why Paramount chose to hold on to it.

Scheduled pre-covid for theatrical release April 17, “Love and Monsters” (original title: “Monster Problems”) is no. 1 at both Apple TV and FandangoNow. Budgeted at $30 million, this adventure comedy led by”Maze Runner” and “Teen Wolf” star Dylan O’Brien, is not unlike “Zombieland” in its use of a young hero fighting off monsters in a dystopian society.

It’s the only new PVOD title this week, so it’s unsurprising to see its high placement at FandangoNow, which ranks its charts by revenue. Still, it beat out “Mulan,” which costs $29.99. More impressive: It leads at Apple TV, which ranks by number of transactions,...
