ABOUT MY HERO ACADEMIA
Before the series was published in Weekly Shonen Jump, Kohei Horikoshi tested My Hero Academia ideas in a One-Shot called “My Hero” that was published within Akamaru Jump in Winter 2008.
After having creating two series in Weekly Shonen Jump that were each eventually cancelled, Oumagadoki Zoo which ran for five volumes from 2010-2011, and Barrage which ran for two volumes in 2012, Horikoshi felt he was out of ideas. When he was given the opportunity for a third series, he decided to revisit the old “My Hero” one-shot, which became the inspiration for the series. Other inspirations would be American films and comics, such as Star Wars, Spider-Man, and X-Men, as well as shonen manga like Naruto, Dragon Ball, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider.
