Fans have lots of ways to catch up on My Hero Academia

The original Japanese release of My Hero Academia: You're Next coincides with the end of the original manga's run. Earlier in the summer, Kōhei Horikoshi announced that he would wrap up the manga's storyline with chapter 430, which was released on August 5, 2024 after a 10-year run, just a few days after You're Next hit Japanese theaters. The English version of the My Hero Academia manga, which has translated and published all 430 chapters is available via Viz Media.

An end date for the My Hero Academia anime adaptation has not been announced as of this writing. The seventh and most recent season of anime began with about 100 chapters of the manga to adapt, so it's likely it will be a while yet before the anime adaptation reaches its conclusion. Fans interesting in streaming My Hero Academia can do so on Crunchyroll, as well as Hulu and Netflix depending on international region. However, only Crunchyroll includes the most recent seasons. In some international regions, previous My Hero Academia movies are also streaming on Crunchyroll. As of this writing the movies Two Heroes, Heroes Rising and World Heroes' Missions are streaming on Netflix in certain international regions including Canada.
