While the interview about Horikoshi's career is certainly interesting, fans can't help but feel like this announcement could signal the end of My Hero Academia. Across social media platforms, fans have been expressing their concerns and speculating about how many chapters the manga might have left.
Some fans believe that the manga could be limited to just four chapters, while others believe that it could take another 12 to 15 chapters to finish the story. However, these are just speculations at this stage.
While the manga is clearly approaching the climax of the Final Saga with each new chapter, recent developments in the fierce battle between Deku and Shigaraki suggest that there may still be a long way to go.
It's unlikely that all the characters will receive a satisfying resolution in just 4 to 8 chapters, especially considering the pivotal moment the story is currently taking. However, it is worth noting that the manga is expected to end in 2024.
With this in mind, fans should prepare themselves for the possibility that the series could come to its final conclusion in the second half of this year, depending on how much time Horikoshi takes to rest.
Fans react to Horikoshi's Shonen Jump interview, speculating on My Hero Academia's conclusion
Fans had mixed reactions to the announcement of Kohei Horikoshi's interview published in Weekly Shonen Jump.
While it's not uncommon for manga artists to share insights about their careers in magazines, what worries fans is that Horikoshi's interview will span four consecutive issues. Many interpreted this as a clear sign that the manga may be coming to an end.
One fan expressed a sentiment that many agreed with, likening the situation to “the end of the game,” suggesting that the series may not have much time left.
Another fan couldn't hide his sadness at the thought of the series coming to an end, while also acknowledging My Hero Academia's profound impact on the anime and manga community.
“It's really going to end soon and I'm very sad.”
Despite this perception, another fan noted that the series is in its final stages, although it may not be over after just a few chapters.
“Oh yeah, this series is definitely in its final stages.”
Speculation about the manga's ending timeline has also been a topic of discussion. One fan speculated that depending on the frequency of breaks between chapters, the series might not even last until August.
“Depending on the break, his series may not make it to August.”
However, not everyone believes that the end is imminent. One fan pointed out that there are still unresolved storylines, especially involving Aizawa and Kurogiri, suggesting the series may not have come to an end.
“We are not in the final game. We still have aizawa and kurogiri to deal with.”
Ultimately, fans hope that whenever My Hero Academia ends, it ends in a way that brings closure and satisfaction to loyal viewers.
