My Hero Academia, also known as My Hero Academia, is a hero action manga by manga artist Horikoshi Kohei, whose total circulation of comics has exceeded 100 million copies worldwide. The series began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2014, and its popularity remains the same even after its serialization ended in August 2024. Media mixes, including the TV anime series, theatrical anime, gameplay, and stage plays, have also been attracting attention, and it has been decided that “FINAL SEASON” will be broadcast in 2025. The Final Fan Book will be released in May 2025 and the first art book will be released in June.
The “Horikoshi Kohei’s “My Hero Academia” Original Art Exhibition” is an exhibition held as a original art exhibition where you can experience the allure of this work, which has been completed in a dignified way. In addition to Horikoshi’s handwritten manuscripts, valuable materials that were created during the digital artworks that are not normally visible will also be displayed. In addition, many original goods will be sold to commemorate the event, including products using original key visuals drawn by this exhibition.
In preparation for the event, in addition to the second key visual, the original key visual[hero vs. enemy (villain)]visitors’ perks and some merchandise have been revealed.
The “Tabloid-style sticker” as a special bonus for visitors is a capture of the moments of the fierce battle between the main character Deku (Midoriya Izuku) in the story, and you will receive a random gift of one item from all five types.
The first product lineup has been revealed, including “Men’s Nonno’s All-Service Fifth T-Shirt”, “KATSUKI MEMORY”, “Pukupuku Pouch: Indoor and Outside Undifferentiated Roki-kun”, and “Acrylic MEGA Figure W Deku & All Might”.
We also received a handwritten comment from the author Horikoshi. Horikoshi is enthusiastic, saying, “I ended up submitting digitally halfway through the serialization for about ten years, but since my line drawings are still analog manuscripts, I think I can show you a manuscript that is somewhat raw. Also, since names and manuscripts for My Hero Academia often differ completely between names and manuscripts, I would like to see the names as well, and create an exhibition that gives a sense of rawness, such as what the manga artists currently in the serialization were thinking when drawing them.”
Tickets will be sold in three categories: “lottery sales,” “first come, first served,” and “second-year general sales (first come, first served).” From March 10th, lottery applications for subscribers for digital version of Weekly Shonen Jump will begin. The bonus for tickets with merchandise comes with a luxuriously holographic collection card set using illustrations of “Hero VS Enemies (Villains)]. In addition, it was announced that an Osaka tour exhibition will be held in the fall of 2025.

Horikoshi Kohei
During the serialization for about ten years, I ended up submitting digitally halfway through, but since my line drawings are still analog manuscripts, I think I can show you a manuscript that looks somewhat raw.
Also, since names and manuscripts in My Hero Academia often differed completely between names and manuscripts, I would like to see the names as well, and create an exhibition that gives a sense of rawness, such as what the manga artists currently in the series were thinking about when drawing them.
We’ve been doing a lot of things to help even those who aren’t interested in My Hero Academia enjoy it, so please come and see it!
