In 2014, just before the end of Naruto, Weekly Shonen Jump knew it was missing out on one of its biggest hits. Little did he know, however, that another important colossus had just been born: My hero academy. Kohei Horikoshi returned to the magazine for what would be his last attempt after two major failures.
Almost 8 years have passed since the release of the first chapter of My Hero Academia, a very long time in which Horikoshi’s work managed to conquer first Japan on paper, then television and finally the rest of the world with the two main media. and more. My Hero Academia is also a hit in cinemas, with three feature films set in the world of heroes already in production.
There is also an important milestone: My Hero Academia has 65 million copies in print worldwide, an extraordinary number that few can match. To celebrate – but also to promote the release of volume 33 of the manga in Japan, which will arrive in a few days – Weekly Shonen Jump has prepared a promotional video which trace some of the recent events.
My Hero Academia is here, it’s here, but it’ll only be there for a little while considering Horikoshi’s manga is nearing completion.
