With a mere 40 volumes under its belt, reports confirm that My Hero Academia boasts an impressive 100 million units in circulation, and this figure doesn’t even include a significant portion of digital sales. It’s safe to say that Deku, our beloved protagonist, is soaring to new heights.
Reaching the milestone of 100 million copies sold is no small feat in the manga industry. Only a select few titles have achieved such monumental success. Legendary series like Kingdom, Fist of the North Star, Astro Boy, and Hajime no Ippo have achieved similar sales figures.
Additionally, there are juggernauts like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Bleach that have surpassed the 100 million mark. However, My Hero Academia still has a ways to go before it catches up to the reigning champion of manga sales, One Piece, which boasts a staggering nearly 525 million units sold to date.
For those who haven’t caught up with My Hero Academia yet, fear not! The series is ongoing, with new chapters released weekly. You can read My Hero Academia on platforms like Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app. For those unfamiliar with the series, here’s the official synopsis of My Hero Academia:
“Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered ‘quirk,’ Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.”
