Despite being in its final stages, My Hero Academia has sparked concerns among fans regarding author Kohei Horikoshi’s well-being. The delay of Chapter 414, the most recent installment in the series, due to the author’s health has raised hopes that the final arc of the series will proceed without any further interruptions.
Not long ago, a user on X platform (@DabisPoleDance) posted a captivating photo of Kohei Horikoshi creating sketches for the series. Fans were captivated by the skill showcased in his artwork, as even his initial drafts displayed intricate detail.
Additionally, it was observed by fans that the manga artist utilized only a drawing pen and did not rely on any professional drawing tools to create their illustrations. The author’s ability to produce manga using just a mobile phone and a tablet was praised by fans, highlighting their creativity.
Twitter goes wild over Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia drawing drafts
Kohei Horikoshi, a renowned Japanese manga artist, gained popularity for his manga series My Hero Academia. The shounen manga began its serialization in 2014 and has since been adapted into an anime. The highly successful anime has had seven seasons so far, with the latest one scheduled to release in May 2024.
An image resembling a section from a Japanese magazine was recently shared by a user on X. The picture depicted Kohei Horikoshi, and specifically showed him working on the drafts for his popular series My Hero Academia. The characters Nana Shimura and Izuku Midoriya were featured in the artwork.
On the left side of the series, you can view the initial drafts, while the final version of the weekly release can be found on the right. It’s worth noting that the author first drew the sketch on paper before transferring it online, a practice that is becoming increasingly uncommon.
While many Shounen Jump authors have transitioned to drawing digitally, there are still a few who prefer to draw on paper, such as Eiichiro Oda. This detail caught the attention of the X user who shared the picture.
