Fans of Kōhei Horikoshi's My Hero AcadeKaren are probably familiar with pro hero Best Jeanist, a character who wears denim jeans from his pants down to his nose. What fans may not know is that “Best Jeanist” is a real-life award given out by the Japan Jeans Council every year since 1984. Within the standards of the series, Best Jeanist has won this award for 8 consecutive years. Fiction became reality when the yarn hero received a special contribution award for Best Jeanist in real life for the Selection Committee of the 41st annual ceremony on November 14 in Tokyo.

Best Jeanist voice actor Hikaru Midorikawa accepted the award for his character. Midorikawa voiced an acceptance speech video in which Best Jeanist (the hero) apologizes for not being able to make it to the ceremony (of course he was fighting a bad guy!), thanking everyone and introduced Midorikawa to accept the award on his behalf.

Horikoshi commented that he was surprised to hear about Best Jeanist's win. He thought about how to draw readers into the story, which blurred the lines between reality and manga. He was very happy with his character's victory and he thanked the readers as well as Midorikawa for accepting the award for Jeanist (who, of course, was busy fighting a villain!). He also drew Bakugo in the background, who not only interned with Best Jeanist but also thinks he's super cool.
Congratulations Best Jeanist and thanks for keeping the world and fashion safe!
Horikoshi launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in July 2014 and ended it on August 5. Viz Media publishes the manga in English digitally and in print in North America. Shueisha's MANGA Plus service also publishes English-language manga digitally. The manga surpassed 100 million copies in circulation worldwide in April.
