As we rapidly approach the seventh season of the My Hero Academia TV anime adaptation, the original manga has hit another major milestone. With the April 4 launch of volume 40 in Japan, it has been confirmed that the My Hero Academia manga’s global circulation now exceeds 100 million copies. The series is doing a few things to celebrate, including the sharing of a new illustration from author Kohei Horikoshi, a special promotional video and a newspaper advertisement in the Yomiuri Shimbun.
