My Hero Academia creator Kohei Horikoshi leaps from heroes to horror in his next one-shot! Tentatively titled Warawanaide-yo Shijima-san ("Don't Laugh, Shijima-san"), the new manga is scheduled to appear in next month's combined issue 37/38 of Weekly Shonen Jump. A new visual (above) has also been released teasing the upcoming manga. The 61-page one-shot marks Horikoshi's first since the conclusion of My Hero Academia in August 2024. The manga is described as a "boy-meets-girl horror story." Issue 37/38 of Weekly Shonen Jump hits newsstands in Japan on August 10. Shonen Jump app subscribers can also read new issues as they're released, though the app has not yet confirmed if or when this new one-shot will be released in English. Crunchyroll streams the collection of My Hero Academia anime episodes, specials, movies and more from the franchise. The My Hero Academia anime series is described as such: 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. Source: Comic Natalie
