As someone who has been following the fascinating world of manga for years, I must say that Marvel’s collaboration with Shueisha and the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes team has truly been a game-changer. The unique spin on classic characters like Spider-Man and Dr. Octopus, as well as the intriguing storylines they’ve created, have been a breath of fresh air in the manga community.
The thrilling spinoff manga collaboration between Marvel and My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, featuring Spider-Man, is about to conclude on Shonen Jump. In recent years, Marvel has been delving deeper into the realm of manga, leading to exciting partnerships that have given a fresh take on their iconic characters. One such unexpected collaboration was an entire Isekai storyline, where Spider-Man’s arch-nemesis, Dr. Octopus, was mysteriously transported to Japan. However, the plot took another surprising turn as Otto Octavius discovered he had been transformed into a young Japanese schoolgirl’s body. As the series reaches its climax, fans are eagerly awaiting how this unique tale will conclude.
Titled “Spider-Man: Octo-Girl,” this comic is penned by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, the same duo responsible for “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes.” This spinoff series, soon to be adapted into a TV anime, offers a fresh perspective of Japan through Doctor Octopus’ viewpoint. As reported by @WSJ_manga on X, this intriguing spin-off will conclude with its next chapter, available via Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ app on January 7th. So, fans should savor the remaining time they have with this series before it comes to a close.

So, get ready to witness the extraordinary journey of Spider-Man’s arch-nemesis…transformed into an ordinary Japanese girl!
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Is Coming Back
Even though Furuhashi and Court’s manga run on “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes” ended some time ago, the franchise is now returning with a fresh TV anime adaptation. This spinoff is set several years prior to the main series of “My Hero Academia,” delving into a world where pro heroes aren’t as prevalent as depicted in the original. The story focuses on a group of unlicensed, vigilante heroes who decide to take matters into their own hands. Excited fans won’t have to wait long to see this anime adaptation.
In April of next year, “My Hero Academia: Vigilantes” is scheduled to premiere on television as part of the Spring 2025 anime lineup. Kenichi Suzuki will direct this new animation project for Studio Bones’ newly created Bones Film team, with Yosuke Kuroda returning from the main “My Hero Academia” TV anime to write the scripts. Takahiko Yoshida will oversee the character designs for the new anime, while Yuki Hayashi, Shogo Yamashiro, and Yuki Furuhashi will collaborate on the music composition.
