"My Hero Academia," whose final anime season premiered last October, is celebrating its 10th anime anniversary this year! On May 2nd, a special anime episode titled "More," adapted from the manga's final volume, also aired.
Today, the official channels dropped another bombshell: a special short manga from the "My Hero Academia Ultra Age" fanbook, set to launch in December 2024, is getting an anime adaptation! Titled "I am a hero too," this short anime's release date is still under wraps.
This original story, personally drawn by Kohei Horikoshi-sensei, picks up after the manga's conclusion and the anime's final episode. It chronicles a small tale about a grown-up Eri, now a high school student, during a visit back to U.A. High.
Given the manga's short length, an anime short adaptation isn't a huge surprise. However, for many fans, this is one of the rare continuations of Eri's story, making its anime adaptation a pretty big deal!
▼ "I am a hero too" is featured in the official fanbook, "My Hero Academia Ultra Age."
While we don't have details on the broadcast format or timing yet, seeing these "My Hero Academia" short stories get animated is definitely something for fans to cheer about. We'll be eagerly awaiting more official announcements!
