‘My Hero Academia’ Creator Confirms Manga Is Still Heading Toward His Planned Ending For The Series

In a recent interview published in the 2021 spring issue of Jump Giga on Friday, the creator of the "My Hero Academia" manga series Kohei Horikoshi says that he has officially decided on how the manga series would end, and the series is still heading toward his planned ending. He said that the journey to the end of his manga had been longer than he expected.

The interview with Horikoshi did not reveal any hints of what the possible ending of "My Hero Academia" would be.

Weekly Shonen Jump magazine's 16th issue this year announced that "My Hero Academia" is now approaching its final act to begin on Chapter 306. The announcement had the chapter titled "The Final Act Begins."

My Hero Academia or Boku No Hero Academia debuted in the Weekly Shonen Jump in 2014. The manga tells an ordinary boy named Izuku Midoriya or Deku who was born "quirkless" or someone who does not hold any special abilities. However, this changed when Deku caught the hero All Might's attention, who is also his idol. All Might saw Deku's determination and his sense of his justice; he gave him the quirk "One For All." In order to train and use his quirk properly, he enrolls in U.A. High School, where he meets other kids like himself, each with different quicks. 

The first episode of "My Hero Academia" Season 5 was welcomed with a new teaser video revealing the full title of the 3rd upcoming anime film "My Hero Academia THE MOVIE: World Heroes' Mission." The movie is scheduled to premiere in Japan on August 6. The franchise also had two animated movies: "My Hero Academia: Two Heroes" and "My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising." Premiered in July 2018 and December 2019, respectively.

The "My Hero Academia" manga is released in English by VIZ Media. The latest chapters can be read digitally in North America via the MANGA Plus service. The manga also has a few spin-offs focused on different characters from the series.
