2024 was a tough year for fans of Japanese manga aimed at young men (Shonen) as two incredibly popular series came to an end. My Hero Academia by Kohei Horikoshi finished in August, and Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen followed closely in September. Despite their different stories, both series gained huge popularity worldwide. The final season of My Hero Academia began airing in October as part of the Fall 2025 schedule. Now that the war within the story is over, the anime is wrapping up with a three-episode epilogue, culminating in the final episode – Season 11 – on December 11th, 2025.
With the manga now finished, fans were eagerly anticipating the anime’s conclusion, and its ending is sure to be bittersweet for long-time viewers. Although a new season of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is planned for January 2026, it’s not quite the same as an original story from Horikoshi. Jujutsu Kaisen fans, however, got a special treat this September when Akutami unexpectedly returned with new content.
Jujutsu Kaisen Proves My Hero Academia’s Story Can Still Continue
Yuji Iwasaki is handling the artwork for the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo manga, while the original creator is still writing the story. Given how popular the sequel to Jujutsu Kaisen has become, fans of My Hero Academia are likely looking for something similar. Modulo takes place many years after the original story ends, focusing on a new group of characters while occasionally referencing the impact of the previous generation. The endless cycle of curses hasn’t been broken, meaning Jujutsu sorcerers are still working to defeat curses and those who wield them, even decades later.
Like Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia concluded with a large-scale battle that dramatically altered the world and its system of heroes and villains. The conflict was lengthy and ultimately led to the breakdown of an already unstable society. Following the heroes’ victory, the focus shifted to rebuilding everything. Although the ending shows what happens after the war, it doesn’t explore the aftermath as extensively as the sequel manga for Jujutsu Kaisen. Even with the main villains defeated, trouble will always arise in MHA, meaning heroes will always be necessary.
A sequel series to My Hero Academia, set years after the war, could really explore the long-term consequences and show how the original characters are remembered. The series has a lot of potential for future stories, whether that’s through flashbacks, continuations, or side stories, and this is just one possibility. Unfortunately, despite a year passing, there’s still no word on whether the author plans to continue the narrative.
