The anime’s seventh season premiered in April 2024 and ended with its 21st episode in October 2024. Nakayama Naomi will return as director for the eighth season at BONES studio, and Nagasaki Kenji will return as chief director. All seven seasons of the Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) anime can be streamed on Crunchyroll, and it describes the anime below:
“Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.”
The anime is an adaptation of Horikoshi Kouhei’s Boku no Hero Academia manga. Horikoshi (Oumagadoki Zoo and Sensei no Baruji) started the manga in Weekly Shounen Jump in July 2014 and ended it in August 2024. Shueisha published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in November 2014 and the 42nd and final volume in December 2024.
Viz Media publishes the manga in English digitally and in print under the name My Hero Academia, and it will release the manga’s 42nd and final volume on October 21st, 2025. The manga can also be found digitally in English on Shueisha’s Manga Plus service. Viz Media describes the manga below:
“Middle school student Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he hasn’t got an ounce of power in him. With no chance of ever getting into the prestigious U.A. High School for budding heroes, his life is looking more and more like a dead end. Then an encounter with All Might, the greatest hero of them all, gives him a chance to change his destiny…”
