Kohei Horikoshi’s manga, My Hero Academia, first appeared in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2014 and quickly gained a dedicated following. The story is set in a world where most people have superpowers, called “Quirks,” and focuses on Izuku “Deku” Midoriya, a boy born without any powers. After seeing Deku try to be a hero, the famous hero All Might gives Deku a chance to fulfill his dream of becoming a hero like him. The manga ran for 42 volumes and concluded in 2024.

The popular anime series My Hero Academia quickly became a cultural phenomenon, launching just two years after the original manga. The anime has aired over 160 episodes across eight seasons, and will conclude next summer with the final episodes. One more episode from the current set will premiere on November 8th, with the remainder of Season 8 scheduled to air in 2026 when the series returns on May 20th.
