My Hero Academia Creator Inks Special Deku Sketch to Mark Manga’s Finale

As a gamer who has been following the manga and anime scene for over two decades, witnessing the conclusion of “My Hero Academia” feels like watching the final chapter of a beloved childhood storybook coming to life. The emotional rollercoaster that comes with the manga reaching its climax and the anime’s ongoing Season 7 is reminiscent of the bittersweet feelings I had when finishing Final Fantasy VII for the first time, knowing that Aerith was doomed, but also excited about what awaited in the next adventure.


The popular series “My Hero Academia” has concluded its run, and the artist who brought it to life has unveiled a unique sketch featuring Izuku Midoriya to commemorate the series and the ongoing Season 7 of the anime adaptation. As we speak, “My Hero Academia” is immersed in Season 7 of the anime with the climactic battles between heroes and villains unfolding, but the manga version has also achieved a significant achievement. Apart from marking the 10th anniversary since its debut on Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, it has also come to an end after a remarkable journey.

Fans of “My Hero Academia” are currently experiencing a fresh tide of feelings as both the anime and manga are nearing their peaks. This emotional journey might become even more intense for the series creator, Kohei Horikoshi. To mark the latest episode of Season 7 where Deku initiates his battle against Shigaraki, and the release of the final chapter in the “My Hero Academia” manga, Horikoshi has shared a unique sketch of Deku on social media as a special treat for fans. Here’s the sketch you can take a look at:

Horikoshi’s message went on to say, “Together with Deku and the rest of the gang! Although there have been some potholes along the way over the past decade, it has been an incredible journey for me to tell their story. And I couldn’t have done it without your support as a reader!
