The final chapter is set to be published in the combined Issue 36-37 of Weekly Shonen Jump, slated for release on Aug 5, 2024.
The announcement comes alongside a message from series creator Kohei Horikoshi, who apologized for a two-week hiatus due to scheduling difficulties, and assured fans that the remaining five chapters will be exciting for everyone.
He also expressed his gratitude to readers for their support over the past decade, acknowledging the series’ nearly ten-year run.
Checkout Horikoshi’s message below:
Sorry for the two-week break! My schedule got all piled up like a mille-feuille! There are just 5 chapters left until the end. Some might think, “There’s still 5 chapters left?!” while others might think, “Only 5 chapters left?!” but I’ll do my best to make sure both sides enjoy the last 5 chapters! Together with Deku and the others!
It was a bumpy road, but I was able to draw Deku and his friends for nearly 10 years thanks to everyone who kept reading. It was like a dream. Thank you so much!
Well then! Let’s meet again in Jump!
