My Hero Academia Creator Showcases Ochaco in New Artwork

My Hero Academia might have ended, but its original creator continues to celebrate its characters, particularly Ochaco Uraraka, with a special new sketch. After a decade-long run, My Hero Academia concluded in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine earlier this summer, sparking various fan festivities.

The series’ conclusion saw the launch of a global popularity poll and an art contest, encouraging fans to share their creative renditions of the beloved characters and events from the series. The fanbase eagerly participated, utilizing a special hashtag on social media to showcase their work.

Not just fans are getting in on the action; the original creator, Kohei Horikoshi, also joined the celebration. Horikoshi submitted a new sketch of Ochaco, adding to the excitement of the art contest. With the manga now complete, these sketches have become a cherished way for fans to enjoy new material from the creator.

For those looking to catch up on the My Hero Academia anime, all six previous seasons and the current weekly episodes of Season 7 are available to stream on Crunchyroll. The entire manga series, concluded by Kohei Horikoshi, is accessible through Viz Media’s digital Shonen Jump library or Shueisha’s Manga Plus service for those who prefer to read ahead.

This fall, My Hero Academia: You’re Next will hit the big screen in the United States and Canada on October 11th. TOHO Animation has provided a glimpse into what to expect from the film. The fourth feature will focus on Deku, a student at U.A. High School aspiring to be the best hero, as he faces a villain mimicking his long-admired hero. The storyline challenges Deku and his Class 1-A peers to stop Dark Might, a new threat claiming to be the new Symbol of Peace.
