Fans Thank My Hero Academia Author Kohei Horikoshi With Touching Messages After Series Concludes

My Hero Academia has officially ended on Aug 4, 2024, with the final chapter released on that date and fans around the world thanked the author Kohei Horikoshi for 10 years of consistently writing the manga and entertaining his audience.

Whether you love or hate his work, he certainly deserves respect for his contribution to the manga world in general. Not everybody can have their manga successfully serialized on Weekly Shonen Jump and have it run for 10 years!

And just like any long-running series, it has a dedicated fanbase, many of whom have read the series since its inception. They’ve seen Deku grow up from a scared cry-baby to the GREATEST HERO on planet Earth.

Horikoshi has brought forth some of anime fans’ most favorite characters like All Might, Midnight, Shoto Todoroki, and many more (tries to sneak in Mineta). All of them played a fantastic role in the series, filled with intense action and character development.

Twice and Endeavor’s character development are the series’ most impactful. The author clearly loves Marvel and DC and infuses his version of Superheroes and show how the world perceives them by saying “Oh. Superhero is normalized now and many folks can become one through training at school”

The concept became very popular in America and the manga has hit it right off since then. It really started a new era of Shonen Jump, along with Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen.

And as the series just ended, fans worldwide thanked Horikoshi for bringing such memorable characters to life and entertaining them for this long. Here are some of their messages to him!

People are not born equal. But as long as each of us are willing to reach out a helping hand, dreams can become reality. Thank you Horikoshi-sensei for such an incredible, life-changing story.#ThankyouKoheiHorikoshi #ThankYouMyHeroAcademia #ThankYouMHA pic.twitter.com/oMeNExdAps

About My Hero Academia:

My Hero Academia is a manga series written and illustrated by Kōhei Horikoshi. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s shōnen manga magazine, Weekly Shōnen Jump, since July 2014, with its chapters additionally collected into 40 tankōbon volumes as of April 2024.

It inspired many spin-off manga, including My Hero Academia: Smash!!, Vigilantes, and Team-Up Missions. Besides light novels, stage plays, and souvenirs, the franchise has produced many video games.

Studio Bones produced the first season from April to June 2016, a second from April to September 2017, a third from April to September 2018, a fourth from October 2019 to April 2020, a fifth from March to September 2021, a sixth from October 2022 to March 2023, and a seventh that is currently airing.

It has three animated films, My Hero Academia: Two Heroes, Heroes Rising, and World Heroes’ Mission, plus nine original video animations. A fourth animated film, titled My Hero Academia: You’re Next, is set to be released in August 2024. A live-action film by Legendary Entertainment is in development.

Crunchyroll describes Season 1 of My Hero Academia as follows:

Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
