The future of My Hero Academia series

As long as Kohei Horikoshi gets his way, My Hero Academia will be over very soon. The series creator Horikoshi made it clear that he wants to end My Hero Academia on his own terms by next year.

My Hero Academia isn’t over just yet, but it is getting very close

During a 2018 interview with Anime News Network, Horikoshi said he didn’t have the stamina to make this series last several more years. Nearly a year later, the My Hero Academia manga is still ongoing. With that said, the author has already set up the final battles, so the climax is clearly within his line of sight. Readers should reasonably expect the series to end by the year 2023, assuming there isn’t a spin-off shortly afterwards.

Of course, the anime is still ongoing

Even if the manga ends, fans can still enjoy the anime, which has several arcs that need to be adapted. My Hero Academia season 6 is set for release on October 1st, 2022. Crunchyroll will stream the series right after it airs in Japan. It will cover the events of the Paranormal Liberation War. Without spoiling anything, it will be the most impactful season yet. Several My Hero Academia characters will never be the same after this war.

It remains to be seen what Horikoshi does after this series

Horikoshi is yet to confirm whether or not he plans on writing any more stories after My Hero Academia. Furthermore, it is currently unknown if he wants to expand on the universe. Either way, Horikoshi will have a lot of fans watching for his next big move. His expressive art style is known to capture the reader’s attention. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next year or so.
