Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia has been on a roll for the past few months. As the manga series has been working on the biggest fights in the story, the anime series is getting ready for the seventh season which is scheduled to be released on May 4, 2024. The season will focus on the Stars and Stripe arc, the UA Traitor arc, and perhaps the beginning of the final war arc.
While anime fans are waiting for the series, manga fans have already been enjoying the brilliant storyline of My Hero Academia. The manga currently depicts the battle between Shigaraki Tomura and Izuku Midoriya(Deku) with the shocking entry of All for One and taking over Shigaraki Tomura’s body.
All of the exciting elements of the My Hero Academia series have helped Horikoshi’s magnum opus reach a major milestone that was unexpected. The series has officially passed the 100 Million copies in circulation mark worldwide with 40 Volumes. This has brought all the My Hero Academia fans together to celebrate the achievement with the creator Horikoshi.
My Hero Academia Achieves Major Milestone
The official account of My Hero Academia on X (Formerly Twitter) reported that the global circulation of the My Hero Academia manga has surpassed 100 million copies with the April 4 release of volume 40 in Japan. This was marked by the release of a unique new illustration by Horikoshi and a message from the creator himself.
In February 2023, there were more than 85 million copies of the manga in circulation globally. The series has yielded an incredible figure that will undoubtedly continue to rise as the series has been running one of the most important aspects of the story for a long time now. It has continuously been listed among the best-selling manga for many years and recently became one of the best-selling Weekly Shonen Jump manga in circulation.
Upon this accomplishment, My Hero Academia has become one of the select few series (21 in total) to surpass 100 million copies in circulation. The series has also released a special trailer for My Hero Academia’s volume 40 which was shared on the official Shonen Jump YouTube channel.
