The My Hero Academia manga keeps breaking records, but it’s not exactly a novelty: If we go, it was a title that is one of the most popular from the very beginning.

My Hero Academia recently hit 50 million copies sold, but the success of the manga born from the imagination of Kohei Horikoshi is not something that happened overnight or as the anime’s exclusive driving force.

Of course, the further you go with the story (and its adaptations), the more its audience grows, which, on the other hand, is only destined to expand when the Hollywood live action from My Hero Academia hits the screens, but the adventures von Deku were ominous from the reader’s point of view from the first chapters.

In the end, the first volume of the manga debuted at number 7 on the Oricon charts with 71,575 copies sold, and the first edition sold out practically immediately. From then on there was a change of positions on the sales charts, but the title was a constant in the weekly top 10, and it is still like that.

And in case we needed a reminder, twitter user WSJOricon wanted one Diagram showing, year after year, how the numbers have always been on the side of Deku and his companions (which you can find in the post at the end of the news).

And now that My Hero Academia is drawing to a close, what high points will it ever reach, both qualitatively and quantitatively?
