As a die-hard fan of My Hero Academia who has been following this magnificent manga since its humble beginnings, I can honestly say that the journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. The final volume of My Hero Academia is a bittersweet moment for us all, but seeing Kohei Horikoshi bid farewell to his top heroes with these stunning posters is truly heartwarming.

The popular manga “My Hero Academia” has reached its conclusion in Japan with the publication of its final volume, marking a definite end to this epic tale. Its creator, Kohei Horikoshi, is bidding farewell to his beloved characters with exclusive new posters as parting gifts for fans. The manga’s final chapter was published earlier this year in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, but the release of Volume 42 brings a more formal close to the series on Japanese bookshelves. This volume offers some fresh content to wrap up the long-running hero series.

In a grand celebration for the launch of Volume 42, My Hero Academia conducted a global popularity poll over several months. The results revealed an overwhelming response from fans worldwide, with Katsuki Bakugo securing the top spot, followed closely by Izuku Midoriya in second place, and Shoto Todoroki rounding off the top three.

In conjunction with the grand celebration finale, “My Hero Academia” organized a global popularity contest after its last chapter in Summer.

In relation to the marketing effort for “My Hero Academia” Volume 42, advertisements featuring distinct posters were spotted in various Japanese newspapers such as Yomiuri Shimbun, Asahi Shimbun, and Mainichi Shimbun.

What’s Next for My Hero Academia’s Creator

The climactic end of “My Hero Academia” has kept its creator, Horikoshi, quite occupied, but he’s already setting the foundation for what lies ahead. In a unique collaboration with Marvel, Horikoshi was inquired about his future plans, to which he replied, “I feel incredibly fortunate for the success of ‘My Hero Academia’, so I understand there’s a great deal of anticipation regarding my next steps.” He expressed his intention to begin working on a new manga as soon as feasible.

Initially, Horikoshi intended to solely focus on drawing his upcoming project, with someone else handling the storyline. However, Shueisha’s editors persuaded him to take on both roles, suggesting that a self-written and illustrated series would be more effective. As a result, Horikoshi has begun drafting and sketching for his next manga. Despite this, there are still some significant events in “My Hero Academia” to attend to, so for the time being, he’ll continue supporting and promoting it. In other words, while it may take a while before Horikoshi can fully immerse himself in the new series, he has already started planning its creation.
