Say goodbye to My Hero Academia Forever on December 13th

The 2010s was a huge decade for Weekly Shonen Jump. When the likes of Naruto and Bleach ended, large spaces opened up for new series to grow up. Among the new series that appeared after, My Hero Academia stood out the most. The My Hero Academia manga started in 2014, and it has been an iconic series ever since. Unfortunately, however, the MHA manga ended last year, 2024. The anime for MHA is now following suit, and it will finally end in December 2025.

The My Hero Academia manga has endedand the anime will follow this month, but this does not mean the whole My Hero Academia franchise is dead. In fact, fans can still look forward to side projects.

Although these projects are not as exciting as the original series, things like My Hero Academia Vigilantes Season 2 will certainly keep the memory of the history established by Horikoshi alive.

My Hero Academia Vigilantes has been well received by fans with its new characters as well as some familiar faces. Fans can't wait to see where the story goes in Season 2, and hopefully the spin-off gets even more seasons in the future.

Vigilantes is actually not the only project ahead of us MHA. Really, MHA also has a live-action film adaptation in the works by Netflix. Live-action series based on anime are quite controversial, but seeing Netflix's current track record with One Piece live-action, maybe it's not so bad after all. Horikoshi, the original creator of MHA, is also deeply involved in the project, which bodes well for the production. The film is still in the early stages of production, so fans shouldn't expect to see it released any time before 2027.

The My Hero Academia manga ended with 431 chapters for fans to read. All these chapters are available on Manga Plus. My Hero Academia is also airing its final season, which will consist of 11 episodes in total. The series can be seen on Crunchyroll.
