My Hero Academia Chapter 428 will be back after last week's break – here are the release dates and major spoilers for the upcoming Chapter.
After a decade of publication, My Hero Academia is coming to an end. The manga is in the process of completing its final arc. So far, we know the fates of major characters like Shigaraki, Dabi, Endeavor, Hawks, and Spinner.
However, the manga still has many questions to answer before it ends. We still don't know what happened to Toga and whether Deku will get One For All back. Furthermore, the manga introduced a mysterious new character in My Hero Academia Chapter 428.
With so many mysteries remaining, hype for the upcoming Chapter is at an all-time high. The manga has only three Chapters left, including My Hero Academia Chapter 428. So we can trust Kohei Horikoshi to make them all worthwhile.

My Hero Academia Chapter 428 Revealed
Title of My Hero Academia Chap 428 is 'A Girl Who Likes Smiles'. The chapter starts with the new girls of Class 1-A chasing after Bakugo and Shoto. This leads to some humorous interactions between the characters, including Deku revealing that Bakugo has never been popular with the girls. But while all this is going on, Ochako looks on with a mysterious expression.
When the new Class 2-A is asked to be interviewed again, Aizawa declines as many of them do not want to be in the spotlight. The young heroes then help some civilians repair their building. Meanwhile, Ochako looks withdrawn but still has a fake smile on her face.
On the construction site, Edgeshot is revealed to have transformed into a miniature form, after sacrificing himself to save Bakugo's life. He also reveals that he cannot return to normal but is determined to become his best self, earning a grateful smile from the Explosion user.
Ochako continues to fake a smile and tell everyone how glad she is that everyone is happy and upbeat now. Deku and Tsuyu can see that she isn't herself, but Ochako doesn't give them a chance to talk to her about it.
In the evening, when most of the students of Class 2-A are in the dorms, Ochako is nowhere to be seen. Tsuyu tells Deku that she said she was going home but didn't reply to his text. Switching to the girl in question, she is looking down at the city below from the same hill in Chapter 342.
Ochako says that she was happy to see everyone smiling but bursts into tears remembering Toga's tearful smile during their battle. She confesses that the camera did not catch the end of their battle, thus missing Toga's sacrifice, and that it eats her up inside.
But everyone was happy now and she didn't want to ruin the mood. 'That's why I'm holding back the pain from this wound,' Ochako thought to herself, placing her hand on her stomach.
As she collapses in pain, Deku suddenly appears. My Hero Academia Chap 428 ends with Deku screaming, “Uraraka!!!”
