On Friday, the official Twitter account for Kōhei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia manga announced that the manga will be taking a two-week hiatus due to the author’s poor health.
As a result, the manga will not be appearing in the 15th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump on Monday or the 16th issue on March 20. The manga will return in the 17th issue on March 27. This is not the first time the manga has gone on hiatus due to Horikoshi’s health, as it also took a one-week break in December and a two-week break last month.
