At the beginning of June, Horikoshi took a two-week break from publishing the manga. “Apologies for the two-week break/ My schedule piled up,” the author said in a statement on X.

“It was a rocky road, but I was able to draw Deku (the main character) and his friends for nearly 10 years because you kept reading. It was a dream. Thank you so much,” Horikoshi added.
