The comic series behind the anime has surpassed 100 million copies in worldwide circulation. Created by Kohei Horikoshi and serialized for 10 years in Weekly Shonen Jump (published by Shueisha), "My Hero Academia" is set in a world where roughly 80 percent of the population has some kind of superpower known as a "Quirk."
The story follows Izuku Midoriya, known as "Deku," and his classmates at U.A. High School as they grow, fight, and forge friendships while aiming to become heroes who protect people and society from accidents, disasters, and villains who misuse their Quirks.
Season 1 premiered in April 2016, and by the FINAL SEASON in 2025, a total of eight seasons had aired, alongside four feature films.
The series is currently streaming on various video platforms.
