Horikoshi Ends My Hero Academia

  • My Hero Academia ended with chapter 430
  • Horikoshi drops Volume 42

Horikoshi concluded “My Hero Academia” a few months back, and while fans had been aware that 2024 would mark the end of this beloved series, they were still eagerly anticipating the Final War Arc. This extended battle sequence, reminiscent of conflicts beyond anything previously depicted in the story, provided an opportunity for almost every character, from main to minor, to play a significant role. The climactic confrontation allowed the major characters, particularly Shigaraki and All For One, to fully showcase their abilities and resolve the issues surrounding them. Ultimately, the heroes emerged victorious, with Deku leading the charge and bringing about peace for Japan. However, this victory came at a cost as the Hero Society endured significant losses. Post-war reconstruction and reformation were swiftly undertaken, aiming to strengthen the hero order and restore order in society.

Things changed in My Hero Academia for the better, and fans saw the lives of the Her

In my gaming world, I found myself skipping ahead eight years into the future of UA High School. Characters like Izuku Midoriya, once classmates of mine, were now teachers or Pro Heroes. It was a thrill to see how they’d grown and settled down. The latest chapter, 431, gave us a glimpse into their daily lives, and it was heartwarming to see them reunite at a grand party.

Horikoshi’s Next Work Is Already Underway

Horikoshi Reveals Plans For A New Manga

Readers were aware that Kohei Horikoshi, the author of My Hero Academia, would eventually return to work with Jump. Despite his young age, Horikoshi has already demonstrated an exceptional level of skill with My Hero Academia, which may make him seem older than he is. With a strong desire to create more stories, Horikoshi wants to continue his career as a mangaka. This means it’s not surprising that fans are excited to see Horikoshi returning to work with Jump. Fans knew it was only a matter of time before Horikoshi announced his next project, and everyone wondered what he would choose to focus on. There are many fans who hope Horikoshi will continue working on My Hero Academia for a possible sequel, and that idea is quite appealing.

Although there’s much excitement about a potential sequel for My Hero Academia, fans understand that it’s unlikely due to the creator, Horikoshi, expressing interest in starting a new manga. In fact, he has shared his intentions to create an entirely new series, separate from My Hero Academia, and he’s already in the process of bringing this fresh concept to life.

I’m eager to initiate a new project right away! However, Shueisha suggested that I should continue handling both writing and drawing for my next series. Unfortunately, I’m fully committed to the My Hero Academia art exhibition and associated activities at the moment.” – Kohei Horikoshi (Paraphrased)

As a gamer, I find it intriguing that Horikoshi was contemplating being just the artist for his next manga, implying a collaboration might have occurred. But, since Shuiesha seemed unenthusiastic about the concept, it seems he’ll carry on with both writing and illustrating his upcoming manga. From what I gather, he doesn’t seem to be planning a lengthy hiatus and we could see his next masterpiece quite soon. If my calculations are correct, Horikoshi might release his next creation around 2025.

What Series Will Kohei Horikoshi Write?

Horikoshi Has Mentioned Wanting To Write Horror

It’s uncertain at this stage what Horikoshi’s next project will entail. However, it seems unlikely that it will be a continuation of “My Hero Academia”. Instead, fans are anticipating an entirely new series from the author, featuring fresh characters and settings. Given his affinity for horror, there is speculation that he might create a horror manga in the near future. This wouldn’t be surprising considering the horror elements he incorporated into “My Hero Academia”. Regardless of what he chooses to write, fans are eagerly waiting to support him and fully appreciate his work. For now, it’s time for him to take a well-deserved break after a decade of tireless serialization.

The forty-second volume of My Hero Academia is currently available in Japan! The English edition won’t be out until 2025.
