Japan Welcomes My Hero Academia's Official Successor With New Record

Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia manga was a Shonen Jump staple from July 7, 2014, all the way up to August 5, 2024. This sensational manga ran for 10 long years and became one of the most popular series in the entire world while at it. However, modern shonen stories rarely surpass 10 years of serialization, and even My Hero Academia was an anomaly in that regard. Following the conclusion of My Hero Academia, Shonen Jump felt the loss of one of the biggest giants, but as is usually the case, a new series called Ichi the Witch stepped up.
