In recent weeks there has been a lot of confusion surrounding the announcement of the completion of the manga My Hero Academia, which was imminent for many due to the translation error of some US newspapers. In fact, the work has not yet entered the final narrative arc. but only in the last actwhich means the conclusion may still be a long way off.
AnimeNewsNetwork, one of the major anime news channels, mistakenly translated the Kanji of “Final Act” as “Final Arc”, as did many other US newspapers and consequently also on social networks Many fans thought the manga could end in a year or less. However, as reported a few days ago, there may still be plenty of time to complete My Hero Academia, especially given the length of the first two acts.
Kohei Horikoshi, author of the manga, announced the beginning of the second act with the release of Volume 12, which marked the end of the Yuei High School saga and Yuei High School the beginning of the Rise of the Villain saga. In total, therefore, the first act was serialized in 11 volumes and 99 chapters, while the second in 20 volumes and 206 chapters. At the moment we can’t know how long the final act will last, but considering that Horikoshi publishes an average of 50 chapters a year and the story still has a few questions to answer, It is possible to draw a conclusion between 2023 and 2025.
Of course, these are simple speculations as the final decision rests with the writer of the series, but it’s still important to clarify that the current narrative arc is unlikely to be the last in the manga.
