Kohei Horikoshi returns today with new pages of My Hero Academia. This chapter 424 confirms our impression that it won’t be long now.
In recent years, superheroes have entered a new era, with satire being invited into the live-action series The Boys on Prime Video, a platform that explores questions of superstar legacy above the adaptation of the comic Invicible. But the manga also redraws the contours of these characters on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. We are of course thinking of the unbeatable Saitama from One Punch Man, but also of the successful Shōnen My Hero Academia.
The latter celebrates its tenth anniversary of pre-release on July 7. In a decade, Kōhei Horikoshi’s work has undeniably breathed new life into superhero stories. MHA is the story ofIzuku Midoriyanicknamed Deku, a boy without powers in a world where almost everyone has them, who dreams of becoming a superhero. After many trials and after acquiring his quirk, the boy returns in chapter 424 with a changed appearance.
My Hero Academia reaches the end of the road
Season 7 of Boku no Hero Academia, or for us My Hero Academia, has been on Crunchyroll for a month now. But what is currently attracting all the attention of otakus is the new chapter of the manga. Pre-published in the very famous Weekly Shōnen Jump, the Chapter 424 undoubtedly represents a turning point for the future of the series.
For several months, our heroes experienced the most important battle in their history. After violent clashesthey have finally overcome the threat. The cost of the fight was, as expected, high. But this huge arc could finally be completed. Today the sequel is released with “epilogue“, the new chapter of MHA… The first preview already shows us the new face of the Deku Survivor who we will accompany on his final steps at the Yuei Academy.
But this chapter 424 is not the last! MHA has not yet said goodbye completely. Nevertheless, what was expected has been confirmed: the work has reached its end. From now on, Kōhei Horikoshi should only have a few chapters in store for us, in which an inventory of the situation in the lore of My Hero Academia will be taken. It remains to be seen when Deku and his comrades will say goodbye to us for good.
