My Hero Academia: Vigilante's koichi

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is usually seen as a spin-off to the more popular My Hero Academia, but in fact it is also a prequel. It takes place five years before the events of the main series. The manga is written by Hideyuki Furuyashi and illustrated by Betten Court. My Hero Academia: Vigilantes began serialization in Shueisha's Jump Giga magazine in August 2016. It continued for nearly six years, ending in May 2022.

To date, the manga has released 15 volumes. In terms of sales, it's fair to assume that My Hero Academia: Vigilantes has sold more than 100,000 copies. With anime releases on the horizon, sales numbers will definitely increase, and who knows, it might even get a reprint.
