The final chapter of the My Hero Academia manga was published last August, and the final season of the anime will air later this year. That doesn’t mean the world of My Hero Academia is over though. New movies and spin-offs like My Hero Academia: Vigilantes will hopefully help fill the void with new storylines, characters, and Quirks.
The Vigilantes spin-off manga, written by Hideyuki Furuhashi with illustrations by Betten Court, is set five years before Deku’s story starts. Of course, Bones Studio returns to produce the anime adaptation, and IGN’s review of the first episode describes it as “a worthy spin-off of the popular superhero anime.”
