To all the lovers of the show who may be worried, rest easy. My Hero Academia is not over yet. Yes, the manga from which the story of My Hero Academia is coming from is now in the final arc and the version being shown on TV will only end after the manga ends. So, My Hero Academia is still going on.
Is My Hero Academia Manga Over?
Back in 2014, 7 July to be precise, the pages of Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine brought to the human eyes the very first story in My Hero Academia. A decade later, we now have hundreds of chapters of My Hero Academia put together in thirty-nine volumes. You will hardly find anyone arguing that the manga has not run for long but now, it is at the point of saying goodbye.
So Is My Hero Academia Manga Over? The title of chapter 306 of My Hero Academia man is “Opening of Final Chapter.” This one came out in March 2024. This should let you know that though the My Hero Academia manga is not over, this is the beginning of the end. Don’t take my word for it. Even the person from whose imagination the story is pouring out, Kohei Horikoshi, has hinted the same thing.
In December 2021, the very thing that Horikoshi said was if MHA manga “continues to progress smoothly, in just about exactly a year from now it will meet its goal.”
Still, things may have changed small. In October 2022, Horikoshi now said in Shonen Jump: “At the end of last year I said the series would be over in 1 year, but it’s already been 10 months. I’m reconsidering it.”
Horikoshi's comment in this week's Shonen Jump:
"At the end of last year I said the series would be over in 1 year, but it's already been 10 months. I'm reconsidering it."

When is it that we will see the last of My Hero Academia? Well, when the series was starting out, Deku who is the main character and also tells the story with his voice, says, “Oh, and by the way, this is the story of how I became the number one hero.”
So, My Hero Academia still has some stories to tell and will continue doing so until Deku becomes the number one hero. But then it seems like Deku is in his final faceoff with AFO-Shigaraki Tomura. The volume 39 is also the last volume of the series. In his tease tweet, Kohei Horikoshi stated that “Next volume! The story will reach its final stage. It’s time to conclude many of the battles! Look forward to it!”

My Hero Academia Final Arc
The final arc of the My Hero Academia manga series started as far back as February 2022 with the final war arc. This arc narrates the final battle between the Heroes and Villains to decide the fate of the world. In this battle, the bad guys namely All for One, Shigaraki Tomura and the others, are winning at first and defeat some of the heroes. Meanwhile, Izuku Midoriya and One For All, with the help of Yuga Aoyama and the power of the Warp Gate Quirk, teleported the heroes to various battlegrounds where the final battles take place.
It is between Izuku Midoriya (Deku) and Shigaraki Tomura that the endmost battle will occur. Likely, we will be seeing Deku overcome totally Tomura to become the number one hero, as predicted at the beginning of the series.
Which is My Hero Academia Final Season?
While the MHA manga series may potentially be seeing its end in 2023, the anime series is likely to continue long after the manga ends. The anime adaptation of My Hero Academia began in April 2016. The sixth season, which delves into the final arc of the manga series, only covers a part of the final arc and is not the last season. There is no way that the TV series version will end before the Manga (which is where the story is gotten from).
It has been said for sure that season seven of My Hero Academia animated series will first show on the screens in April 2024. This seventh season may be the final season of My Hero Academia.
