As a lifelong manga enthusiast, I can confidently say that witnessing the culmination of My Hero Academia has been nothing short of extraordinary. Having followed Kōhei Horikoshi’s journey since its humble beginnings in July 2014, I have had the privilege of growing alongside the series and its characters.

In the thrilling conclusion of My Hero Academia Chapter #430, penned by Kōhei Horikoshi, I couldn’t help but join the chorus of fans celebrating this remarkable milestone. This epic saga, which first graced the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in July 2014, has spanned an astounding 41 tankōbon volumes. As we bid farewell to this captivating series, I find myself expressing my heartfelt congratulations to the talented mangaka, Yuto Suzuki and Takeru Hokazaon among others, who have been part of this incredible journey with us.

In the combined August 19th and 26th issues of Weekly Shonen Jump, comments from various manga creators were shared. Eiichiro Oda, creator of One Piece, jokingly remarked that Kōhei Horikoshi could now freely enjoy Pokémon Go. Additionally, Oda created a unique artwork for the cover of chapter 1122 of One Piece as a tribute to fellow mangaka.

Taker Hokazono, the creator of Kagurabachi, shares that the series brings back fond memories for him. “I can still recall reading volume 17 in high school. From Mirio to One For All at full power—what a legend!” Similarly, Dakiki Ihara, the mind behind Yokai Buster, expresses his admiration, saying he felt the same excitement when he first told his friend, “This new one-shot from the Tenko person is fantastic.”

1. Ken Wakui, the mind behind Astro Royal, admits to being an enthusiast of Endeavor and Izuku. Gege Akutami, creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, states that his series wouldn’t have been born without My Hero Academia, as Hitsuji Gondaira shares in her message. Another manga titled Ordinary Woman’s Existence draws inspiration from My Hero Academia.

On X (previously Twitter), the team behind My Hero Academia posted updates. Notably, Anna Yamaguchi (Animation Director), Hitomi Odashima (Character Design), Naomi Nakayama (Storyboard), and others, shared their personal insights into collaborating with the manga creator on the show.

In conclusion, Kōhei Horikoshi expresses his heartfelt appreciation to all who read his manga and feels honored to have been with Weekly Shonen Jump for such a long time. The 430th chapter of My Hero Academia seemed to be approaching a deceitful ending, but it ultimately returned to its original course as All Might assisted Deku yet again. Will there be a follow-up or spin-off for My Hero Academia? Keep an eye out for upcoming news on the series.
