The My Hero Academia anime is based on the Japanese manga written and illustrated by Kohei Horikoshi. The manga, which has been serialized in Shueisha's shonen manga magazine Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014 is finally set to conclude next month. As previously announced, the final chapter in the manga is scheduled to release in August.
The anime, which has been a mostly faithful adaptation, has rapidly been catching up the manga, though there's still probably a few seasons' worth of content still to go.
In the meantime, fans are also gearing up for the upcoming theatrical release of My Hero Academia The Movie: You're Next. The fourth feature film in the franchise, My Hero Academia: You're Next is set between the events of Season 6 and Season 7 of the anime. We still don't know much about the plot itself, though recent teasers have started to reveal original characters.
The most notable new character making his debut is Dark Might, a mysterious doppelganger of All Might and the main antagonist in the film. He was introduced alongside two other new characters: Anna Scervino, the daughter of the wealthy Scervino family, and Giulio Gandini, a mysterious man described as "calm and collected, polite in word and deed, but sometimes shows glimpses of his rough side."
We also were just recently introduced to a new set of original villains known as the Gorrini Family, a mysterious, big criminal organization.
My Hero Academia The Movie: You're Next is set to hit theaters in Japan on August 2nd. It will release in North America on October 11, 2024, and will be available both subbed and dubbed in English.
