My Hero Academia will not appear in issue 47 of Weekly Shonen Jump.
Shueisha's popular manga magazine has announced that Kohei Horikoshi's superhero epic will take a week off from its usual publication schedule. The series will skip issue 47 and will instead release its next chapter on Nov. 1. The magazine did not give a specific reason for the break, but the manga previously took a similar one-week break in September, with creator Kohei Horikoshi's health cited as the reason for that hiatus.
Horikoshi has been working on My Hero Academia since 2014, when the series made its debut in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump. The series was inspired by Horikoshi's love of earlier shonen manga hits such as Naruto and One Piece, as well as his love of American superhero comics, especially Marvel's Spider-Man and X-Men.
While MHA will see one fewer chapter in October, fans can still look forward to the impending international release of the third movie in the franchise, World Heroes Mission, which will be given a limited theatrical release by distributor Funimation in the United States and Canada on Oct. 29. The movie is set during the events of the recently completed Season 5 and sees Deku, Bakugo and Todoroki on the run from the law after Deku is wrongfully blamed for a violent massacre. Now wearing stealthy black costumes, the trio travel the world and recruit a new team of international pro-heroes to help them clear Deku's name and stop the plans of a Humanity, a dangerous cult that believes the use of super-power granting Quirks will eventually lead to the end of the world. Funimation has announced that fans who see the movie on its opening weekend will be given a limited edition booklet, which includes an exclusive manga chapter, an interview with Horikoshi, and some behind-the-scenes material, while supplies last.
My Hero Academia wrapped up its fifth season this September, but the show's producers have already confirmed that the series will continue with a sixth season that will adapt the manga's Paranormal Liberation War arc. The arc will see the world's pro-heroes and the students of U.A. High School go to war against the villains of the Meta-Liberation Army, who are now united under the command of the twisted Tomura Shigaraki and his newly strengthened Quirk.
All five seasons of the My Hero Academia anime are available for streaming on Crunchyroll and Funimation. The manga is localized into English and distributed internationally by VIZ Media.
