Kohei Horikoshi Gives Update On His Health

In volume 39 of My Hero Academia Manga, Horikoshi shared a personal message with the fans regarding the health issues and the unexpected limit on the manga chapter pages. Horikoshi stated:

“Some of you may have noticed, but My Hero Academia has a low page count per chapter. This is because my hands have gotten slower over the years, and my schedule is constantly exploding. The strong-hearted editorial staff adjust the page count just so that My Hero Academia can be serialized. I am acutely aware that this is 100% my own fault, but there are no small number of times I think “If only there were more pages…!” This is an outrageously shameless issue on my part. I’m so sorry.”
