Almost a year ago, the official My Hero Academia Twitter account revealed that the popular shonen manga had 10 million copies in print and now,
a new report says circulation on Kōhei Horikoshi's manga now stands at 13 million (includes manga volumes, spinoffs and novels). That's an impressive feat considering that the manga was begun just a few years ago in late-2014.
In addition to the ongoing manga, a popular TV anime adaptation from Studio Bones is set to debut its third season in April.
The series' first anime film is also set to debut later this Summer. A video game was also recently announced for the PS4 and Xbox One.
