The manga My Hero Academia recently finished, and Otaku USA highlighted responses from within the industry. Now it’s time for the creator himself, Kohei Horikoshi, to share his thoughts on the matter.

For starters, Horikoshi wrote in Weekly Shonen Jump, “I was so glad to be in Jump! I’m so glad for everyone who read my series. Thank you so much!”

That was a pretty short note, but he had more to say on his social media. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he shared a picture and the following message to his fans:

The manga My Hero Academia has concluded in this week’s issue of Jump! I’ve been exhausted for a long time, but I managed to make it to the end! Thank you to everyone who read it!!!!!!
I will never forget the joy and weight of being able to battle with so many interesting manga in the coveted Jump. And above all, the fact Deku was entrusted by Luffy’s side, even if only for a short time, even if it was just luck!
I’m still drawing Deku and the others for the comics, the anime is still airing, the movie is in theaters, the games are still ongoing, the spin-off manga is still being serialized, there are events, and so many other people are keeping My Hero Academia going, so it doesn’t feel like it’s over at all.
Please continue to support My Hero Academia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus Ultra
