It's not the final arc. It is the final act.

level 1

It'd be more accurate to call this the "Final Act"

Ch.1 - The Kamino fight was Act 1

Everything since has been Act 2

Everything after this is Act 3

level 2

You are completely correct, this will be the final act. The article went on to correct the mistake.

level 2

I hope they make sure to tie up some loose ends from the 1st act. We still don’t know who was leaking info from within UA to the villains. The spy thing got dropped faster than a dumpster baby.

level 2

300 episodes for 2 acts so we can expect at least 150/200 episodes for the final one.

At least more 3-4y of BHA, nice.

level 2

Does this means that there is no going to be more MHA? Or is it that they are going to make a sequel like naruto shippuden?

level 1

I don't believe it, when I first started reading this manga HxH was just about to get on thr Whale Boat, we're now entering the final arc since then and HxH is STILL in the boat.

level 2

HxH is dead my dude.. No point in putting expectations in togashi

level 2

Chainsawman began and ended within the span of this current hiatus for Hunter x Hunter.

level 2

Naruto just finished in 2017 and one piece was doing its thing when it started. Now 4 years later one piece is slowly crawling to its conclusion but it'll still be going when MHA ends.

Is the end near for yet another big manga?

"My Hero Academia" is entering its "final act" with its 306th chapter this week, according to Anime News Network.

The chapter was shown to have the title "The Final Act Begins" on the latest issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, sparking theories that it's on its final arc.

Kohei Horikoshi launched the manga series in Weekly Shonen Jump in July 2014.

In an earlier interview, he said that he initially wanted to end the series at Volume 30 but said it will "be impossible."

The manga currently has 29 volumes.

The story follows the story of Midoriya Izuku, who was born "quirkless" (or lacking a superpower) in a world of superpowered beings, as he makes the difficult journey into becoming a hero.

The manga was adapted into an anime in 2016. Seasons 1 to 4 are currently streaming on Netflix, while the fifth season is set to premiere this year.

"My Hero Academia" approaches its supposed end just as "Attack on Titan" by Haijime Isayama is set to conclude on April.

Last year, long-running manga "One Piece" was also announced to enter its final arc.

My Hero Academia‘s 306th chapter indicated that the story of Izuku Midoriya and Class 1A could be coming to an end. As the manga enters its final arc after a 300+ chapter-long story, fans have been pretty vocal regarding the possibility of the series’ ending. Of course, rumors came to a cusp when the author and creator, Kōhei Horikoshi, commented on the series possibly heading towards its conclusion during an interview in Jump Festa 2021. It looks like a recent statement may hint at a future beyond the final arc. The release of the manga’s 30th volume in Japan included an afterword by the author. He addresses his original plans for the series and what is in store for the future. Check out the original Japanese afterword below, posted by Twitter user @kylescouter.

"MHA was originally supposed to end in around vol.30"
Kohei Horikoshi says in the afterword of vol.30.

Thank you for not ending it at vol.30…
Please take care of yourself and continue the series😭#MyHeroAcademia#ヒロアカ pic.twitter.com/vqYhBBL3y5

One of our Knowhere Discord members, Randy, was kind enough to translate the original afterword to the best of his ability and this is what his translation stated:

THE AFTERWORD:

And so we come to issue 30. Before I had felt like just writing, and initially I was planning on writing 30 issues and ending the series, yet as I have written and drawn these last few issues I have surprised even myself. For the first volume/issue for the time I have worked on this, I have been enjoying fighting the good fight and the main story will continue! I wish you continued peace and blessings and thank you for this opportunity.”

Translations can be a fickle thing. They can easily get misinterpreted, or parts of the text end up lost in translation. As such, I also contacted a friend who works as a translator. They were able to transcribe the afterword to offer an additional comparison point. This way, we have another translation to make sure.

Is MHA manga in its final arc?

A portion of the translation varies a bit, but much of the context remains the same. Horikoshi first addresses the statements he made in 2018 about his original plans for the My Hero Academia story to end around the 30th manga volume. He talks about how he’s surprised that the manga has gone on for this long. Now the 4th line is where the two translations start to get a little bit mixed up, as they both talk about a battle or a fight. I am going to lean heavily on the second translation, as it does refer to a specific line in the afterword of the previous volume where Horikoshi thanked those who have “read the manga and hope they can enjoy its end.” The final line reads that the main story will continue, and he thanks everyone for supporting the series.

Is MHA manga in its final arc?

This afterword can get interpreted in multiple ways. I believe that the manga has entered into the final arc of its story, but it could easily take more than a year until it ends. We’ve learned that lesson from Shie Hassaikai Arc and the Paranormal Liberation War Arc. Also, this doesn’t mean that Izuku Midoriya’s story will end right there and then. Writers are often vague with what they say, and more often than not, plans tend to change when one writes. The My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising film is a perfect example. Director Kenji Nagasaki talked about how the film used the original ending written by Horikoshi.

Not only that, but there are far too many plot threads left hanging from the main story that is worth exploring, and most might not get the attention they deserve in this final arc. If you want to read up on how I think the series may end, check out the Theory Thursday article we posted earlier today regarding Izuku’s Vigilante Arc. So we can assume that My Hero Academia is still set to continue for the time being. However, whether Izuku Midoriya continues his story under the My Hero Academia brand or through a new title, that’s up to Kōhei Horikoshi.
