Shonen Jump announced tonight in its Jump Press program on the SHONEN JUMP CHANNEL OFFICIAL YouTube channel that Kohei Horikoshi’s popular superhero manga series My Hero Academia will end in five more chapters.
The last chapter is scheduled to be released in Weekly Shonen Jump combined issue 36/37 on August 5, 2024.
Creator Horikoshi commented on the final chapters, saying:
“Sorry for taking two weeks off! My schedule got all mixed up and it ended up like a Mille-feuille!
There are only 5 episodes left.
You may be thinking “What? Five more chapters?”, or “Only five more to go?”, but we’ll do our best to make the next five chapters enjoyable for both the fans, Deku and everyone!
It was a little rocky at times, but I was able to draw Deku and the others for nearly 10 years thanks to all of you who continued to the read the series.
It was nothing more than a dream. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
And with that, I’ll see you again in the next issue of Jump!”
My Hero Academia debuted in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump on July 7, 2014, from the mind of Kohei Horikoshi and has so far amassed 425 chapters and 40 collected volumes. Three spin-off manga series’ have also been published alongside a range of light novels. Viz Media releases the series weekly alongside its Japanese publication on the Shonen Jump app and in print, with volume 38 recently published in English on June 4.
Alongside the manga, a seventh anime series is currently airing and a fourth original film is currently in production for My Hero Academia at studio Bones. Crunchyroll streams all the TV anime episodes, specials and more from the franchise, and describes the series as such:
Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
