According to the new My Hero Academia spoilers, the manga series will go on a significant hiatus for two weeks after Chapter 425.
My Hero Academiahas officially entered its epilogue after finally wrapping up theFinal War ArcinChapter 423. However, the story is far from over as the creator Kohei Horikoshi promised more chapters to come in the future before themanga ending.
Now, two chapters into it, the manga is taking a two-week-long hiatus. It’s quite uncommon for such a long break; usually, the series takes a break once every three weeks. However, the manga is now breaking its pattern.
The last time My Hero Academia was on break was beforeChapter 424. This means the next one shouldn’t have come until Chapter 426. What’s more, there’s no reason stated for the sudden and early hiatus inChapter 425. So, it’s not the author’s health or personal matters that’s holding him back.
The most plausible reason is Horikoshi taking this time to prepare for the epilogue. Unlike many shonen series, it will resolve every issue in the story and give its characters proper closure. So, it’s not surprising that there’s more planning ahead.
This also hints that the epilogue will be longer than previously believed. Instead of more chapters of just showing the aftermath, there can be an entire arc ahead. Chapter 425 already contributes to this theory, teasingShigaraki’s returnand Dabi’s survival.
