Horikoshi Reveals His Favorite Cover From the Manga

Cover Art For Volume 35 of the My Hero Academia Is His Favorite

Horikoshi is known for having created the popular anime and manga series “My Hero Academia”, demonstrating exceptional artistic talent that has left an indelible mark on the industry. His distinctive art style, which appeals greatly to fans of the show, is both captivating and unforgettable.

Horikoshi has consistently impressed fans with his artwork, and he recently shared which cover he cherishes the most among them. This special piece can be found in the latest fan compilation book for the My Hero Academia series titled My Hero Academia Ultra Age. With 42 volumes in the entire My Hero Academia series, Horikoshi had a vast array of choices to select from.

Among all, it’s the cover art for volume 35 that he declared as his top choice, and this design seems to be particularly beloved by fans too.

This volume is titled Battle Flame, and was released in Japan back in 2022, over 2 years ago now.

If I can’t save just that one small girl in front of me now, how can I become a hero capable of saving everyone?

Deku is expressing his desire to grow and develop into a powerful hero who can help and protect many people, rather than just being able to save one small girl in the current situation.

This treasured artwork beautifully depicts the two towering figures from Horikoshi’s series – Izuku Midoriya and Shigaraki. The protagonist of this story and its chief antagonist share the same canvas. The artistry for this cover aims to reflect Midoriya and Shigaraki, and every aspect, from the design to the hues, is astonishingly excellent.

A frequent criticism leveled at this series’ artwork, particularly newer volume covers, is the choice of backgrounds made by Horikoshi. In many instances, he opted for a white backdrop in his final volumes, deviating only occasionally, such as with volume 37. Despite some fans finding it rather uninteresting, this design choice doesn’t detract significantly from the impressive cover art overall.
