My Hero Academia Creator Addresses Sequel, Spin-Off Possibilities

As a dedicated fan of My Hero Academia for years now, I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness at the thought of the series coming to an end. The manga has been a constant source of excitement and inspiration in my life since its early days, and the announcement that it will wrap up in August is bittersweet.

The undisputed fame of “My Hero Academia” is indisputable. This beloved superhero series has ruled the shonen fanbase for over a decade. However, its reign may be nearing an end. In early August, the manga will conclude its run. With the finale approaching, creator Kohei Horikoshi is now pondering whether he plans to extend the series beyond this point.

As a dedicated gamer and avid fan of “My Hero Academia,” I have some exciting news to share. Spoiler alert! Horikoshi-sensei himself has revealed that he’s content with where the series is currently headed. In an interview with Viz Media, he shared that there are still untouched stories in his mind for the manga, but he’s not feeling pressured to write them down just yet. It seems like he’s taking a step back to enjoy the journey and appreciate the progress of his masterpiece.

Horikoshi shared that he came up with intricate histories for certain characters in his story, such as the past inheritors of One For All, but chose not to include them in the final narrative. When asked if he planned to develop this untold content, the artist expressed a lack of strong interest.

As a gamer, I would say something like this: “Instead of going into long explanations about the backstories and events, I preferred to leave some things as mysteries and give subtle hints instead.”

Horikoshi has meticulously constructed the intriguing world of “My Hero Academia” over the past decade, and it’s remarkable how much depth there is even in what we’ve seen. It’s challenging to accept that this captivating universe might soon reach its conclusion. Fans are eager for more stories, but after Horikoshi’s dedicated efforts, he deserves a well-deserved rest. If the franchise intends to continue with new artists, as some western comics do, we certainly wouldn’t object.

Izuku harbored a dream of becoming a hero since childhood, an ambitious aspiration for anyone but particularly difficult for someone without superpowers in a world where eight out of ten people possess special abilities called “quirks.” Unfortunately, Izuku was born devoid of any quirk. Yet, this setback didn’t deter him from applying to one of the most esteemed hero academies.
