The year 2024 has marked both a thrilling and poignant chapter in the My Hero Academia saga. After a decade of captivating storytelling, the main manga series concluded on August 5, 2024. Following the bittersweet finale, an emotionally charged epilogue revealed the futures of Class 1-A, offering fans a glimpse of their beloved characters one last time.
Fans should brace themselves for another farewell, as the Team-Up Missions spin-off is slated to conclude in February 2025. The final chapter, aimed at younger readers, will be featured in the Saikyo Jump Magazine. With this development, the My Hero Academia universe will be devoid of ongoing manga series, signaling a significant shift in the franchise.
End of the Team-Up Missions Spin-Off Manga
Authored by Yōkō Akiyama
A recent Amazon listing has confirmed that the concluding chapter of Team-Up Missions will appear in the February issue of the Saikyo Jump Magazine. This series, illustrated by Yōkō Akiyama and launching in 2019, followed Deku and his peers on lighthearted adventures featuring other beloved characters. Although its audience primarily consisted of younger readers, it garnered a loyal fanbase.
The announcement came unexpectedly only months after the closure of the original manga series. As the main narrative comes to a halt, maintaining audience interest in the spin-off may prove challenging, contributing to its untimely conclusion. While details regarding the final chapter remain sparse, fans eagerly await an official update expected in January 2025, just ahead of the magazine’s release on the 4th.
The Anime: A Beacon of Hope for the Franchise
Upcoming Releases: Season 7 and Vigilantes Adaptation
Despite the unsettling news of another manga conclusion, there is still much to look forward to within the My Hero Academia universe. The highly anticipated seventh and final season of the anime is set to premiere in Fall 2025, promising to adapt the climactic Final War arc. Fans can anticipate thrilling battles and stunning animation, thanks to the talented team at Studio Bones.
Additionally, at Jump Festa 2025, it was revealed that an anime adaptation of the spin-off manga My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is in the works. This series will follow the journey of Koichi Haimawari, a determined hero-in-the-making who initially missed his entrance exam while saving someone from drowning. Driven by his admiration for All Might, he takes to the streets as a vigilante, embarking on an exciting but risky pursuit of justice. The Vigilantes anime is slated for release in April 2025 and has the potential to captivate audiences just as the main series has.
While My Hero Academia will undoubtedly retain its status as one of the most beloved franchises in the anime and manga realm, fans should prepare themselves for its inevitable conclusion. As the franchise evolves, followers of Kohei Horikoshi’s work are encouraged to savor each moment in this enduring legacy.
