The popular manga series My Hero Academia is taking an unplanned hiatus once again, much to the dismay of its loyal readership. Chapter 414 was originally slated to hit shelves this upcoming Monday, February 12th, but it is notably absent from the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. This marks the third abrupt break the manga has undergone in recent months, on top of scheduled seasonal breaks.

While brief pauses here and there are not unusual for manga artists to maintain their workload, the frequency of these breaks has sparked concern amongst fans that creator Kohei Horikoshi may be struggling with health issues or creative burnout.

There is no certainty as to when the next installment will emerge, but the publishers have indicated My Hero Academia will likely resume serialization in the following weekly issue of the anthology magazine where it is published.

In the meantime, readers anxiously await the return of Izuku Midoriya and his band of aspiring heroes-in-training at UA Academy. The manga has kept fans enthralled with its themes of good versus evil and what it truly means to be a hero.

Hopefully, Horikoshi is getting some well-deserved rest so he can come back with the same lively energy and inspired storytelling the series is known for when it makes its return.

My Hero Academia Went On A Sudden Hiatus

Enthusiasts of the beloved manga My Hero Academia have been left confused and concerned by the series’ unexpected disappearance once again so soon after its last brief hiatus.

Chapter 414 was highly anticipated to come out this Monday, February 12th, following what was presumed to be a planned single-week break.

However, the next installment failed to materialize as expected in the latest Issue #11 of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.

Making matters more puzzling for readers, Issue #10 of the anthology had also not included any new content just last week.

This was chalked up to a routine scheduled publishing break, giving creator Kohei Horikoshi some downtime before resuming his rigorous manga production schedule.

Unfortunately, the series was again absent the very next week, indicating another unscheduled delay.

While occasional breaks are not unheard of, back-to-back interruptions without notice have begun to worry the loyal fanbase. The radio silence has led fans to speculate that Horikoshi may be facing either health setbacks or creative hurdles behind the scenes.

There is optimism My Hero Academia will return in the forthcoming Issue #12, but uncertainty prevails regarding how long this latest impromptu pause might last.

Understandably, this latest sudden publishing pause also has the loyal fan base worried for the health and well-being of overworked manga artist Kohei Horikoshi.

While occasional breaks are customary, repeated interruptions without prior notice have led caring readers to question if their creative hero may be pushing himself too hard behind the scenes.
