Shonen Jump readers will have to do without the My Hero Academia manga in the next issue. According to the announcement, author Kohei Horikoshi recently had some health issues, so he’s taking a break and will be sitting out the issue that hits stands in Japan on September 13.

The break won’t be long, so hopefully Horikoshi is already feeling better. The My Hero Academia manga returns to the pages of Jump in the following issue, which will be out in Japan on September 18.

なお、次号の42号(9月18日売)から連載再開いたします。皆様のご理解をお願いいたします。
