My Hero Academia manga set to end in August 2024
On Monday, June 24, 2024, the official YouTube Channel of Shonen Jump held a special livestream Jump Press. The Jump Press unveiled news related to The Elusive Samurai, Mission: Yozakura Family, and others. However, the key announcement was about My Hero Academia manga.
My Hero Academia manga is set to end in just five chapters. This means that the series will end with chapter 430 set to be released in the combined issue 36/37 of the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on Monday, August 5, 2024.
Additionally, the Jump Press also unveiled manga creator Kohei Horikoshi's comment on the subject.
Firstly, Kohei Horikoshi apologized to his fans for being on a two-week break. His schedule was seemingly facing various conflicts. As for the announcement about the series ending in five chapters, he wasn't certain if the fans would view it positively or negatively. Nevertheless, he wished that the fans would enjoy them.
With five chapters to go, Horikoshi expressed that while the manga was a lot of work, he was only able to draw Deku and his friends for almost 10 years due to the continuous support from fans. Hence, the creator thanked fans, stating that he would see them again in Jump.
What to expect from the end of My Hero Academia manga?
My Hero Academia's end will likely see the manga tie up all the loose ends, starting with the story surrounding the Todoroki family. Fans believed that Dabi had died after his battle against Shoto. However, as suggested by the manga's chapter 425, the villain might still be alive.
In addition, the manga could later see Izuku Midoriya speak to Ochako Uraraka regarding something important. He tried speaking to her in the previous chapter but got interrupted. The manga could also reveal the secret behind the character teased in the previous chapter. While fans believed that the person was a villain, the manga has yet to confirm that.
