How Many My Hero Academia Volumes Are There In Total Now?

Finally caught up on the anime but now I’m fully diving into the manga. Trying to figure out how many paperback volumes I'd need to collect for the full My Hero Academia story so far.

It's a long series, but it doesn't feel as daunting as, say, 'One Piece'. The arcs are generally tighter, and the school setting provides a natural structure. Starting at volume 1 now might seem like a big task, but it's a bingeable journey. The high volume count is a promise of many hours of solid entertainment.

I'm just sitting here waiting for volume 39's English release. The preview images look intense. The number is secondary to the content inside for me. Each volume release is a little event—I clear my evening, make some tea, and binge it. The total count just means more of those nice little rituals to look forward to.

Slightly off-topic, but the anime is catching up to the manga at a frightening pace. They're adapting multiple volumes per season now. The high volume count is what allows the anime to exist and have such detailed source material to draw from. It's a symbiotic relationship that benefits fans of both mediums.

40 tankobon in Japan. English print is a couple behind. It's one of those series that's so big, it can be hard to know where to start if you're new. I'd say start with volume 1, obviously, but be prepared for a different pace than the anime. The manga has a rawness and detail that the anime sometimes smooths over. Collecting all the volumes is a project, but it's a satisfying one when you see them lined up. The spines create a nice image when placed in order, which is a cool bonus. The story itself is a rollercoaster, with some volumes being non-stop action and others focusing on character development and world-building. If you like deep lore and a large cast, the length is a benefit, not a drawback.

I keep a spreadsheet for my manga collection, so I can tell you precisely: as of today, the Japanese tankobon count is 40. Viz Media's English edition is at volume 38, with volume 39 scheduled for release later this year. This is for the primary storyline only. There are also several official fanbooks and light novels, like 'My Hero Academia: School Briefs,' that aren't numbered as part of the main volume series. The physical quality of Viz's releases is consistently good, with nice paper and solid translation. For someone looking to start, I'd recommend checking your local library; many have extensive manga sections and you can read several volumes before deciding to buy. The story's length can be daunting, but it's broken into clear sagas, making it easier to digest in chunks. The character development across 40 volumes is, for the most part, really well-executed.

How many My Hero Academia manga volumes are there now?

I'm just sitting here waiting for the box sets. They usually release them after so many volumes are out. I think the second box set went up to volume 20. Maybe we'll get a third one once the series is completely finished? That would be the most cost-effective way to catch up. Until then, the individual volume count is a moving target. I'd recommend anyone new to the series to check if a box set exists for the early arcs before buying singles. It saves a ton of shelf space and money.

How many volumes of My Hero Academia manga are there?

The 'My Hero Academia' manga has been such a wild ride! Last I checked, there are 39 volumes out in Japan as of mid-2024, with more likely on the way since Kohei Horikoshi’s still going strong. I love how each arc feels like it builds on the last—from the early days of UA to the crazy Paranormal Liberation War stuff. The art’s evolved so much too; volume 1’s sketches feel almost nostalgic compared to the detailed chaos of recent fights. If you’re collecting physically, the English releases by Viz Media are almost caught up, just a few volumes behind. And hey, if you’re new to it, the spin-offs like 'Vigilantes' are totally worth it while you wait for new chapters. Horikoshi’s pacing is brutal in the best way—I’m always left craving the next volume.

Man, 'Boku no Hero Academia' has been such a wild ride! As of now, there are 38 volumes out in Japan, and the series is still ongoing. I remember picking up the first volume years ago, and seeing how far it's come is just mind-blowing. The story's evolution, the character growth—every volume adds something new to the mix. I love how Kohei Horikoshi keeps expanding the world, whether it's through new quirks or deeper dives into the villains' backstories. The English releases are slightly behind, but they're catching up fast. It's one of those series where I’ll pre-order the volumes as soon as they’re announced. The artwork, the pacing—everything feels so polished. If you’re new to it, buckle up because you’re in for a treat!

Hmm. I've got up to 37 on my shelf, and I know 38 is out. So 38. The Japanese version is at 40. It's a long series, but it doesn't feel bloated to me. Most volumes advance the plot or character development in meaningful ways. Except maybe that one remedial course arc – that felt a bit like filler in volume format. But even that had its moments. Overall, the consistency across this many volumes is impressive. The fact that Horikoshi is both writing and drawing at this level for so long is insane.

It's 38. Not 37, not 39. I've seen this debate rage in comment sections, and it always ends with someone posting a link to the Viz page. Can we all just bookmark that page and be done with it? The internet would be a slightly more peaceful place. On a related note, the cover art for volume 38 is stunning. The way Lemillion is depicted... chills. Every volume adds a new piece of iconic art to the franchise.

How many My Hero Academia manga volumes are in the main saga

Thinking about it in terms of story arcs: the USJ Arc, Sports Festival, Stain, Forest Training, Kamino, License Exam, Overhaul, Gentle Criminal, Paranormal Liberation War... all of that is in volumes 1-40. So if you consider the 'main saga' to be the collection of all major arcs, that collection is currently 40 volumes long. There is no arc that exists outside of those numbered books. So, your answer is derived from simply counting the sequentially published tankobon. That count is 40.

How many volumes does My Hero Academia Vigilantes have?

Fifteen. I collected them as they came out in English. The wait between volumes was tough because the cliffhangers were so good! The exploration of what it means to be a hero without a license is the core theme, and it's handled really well.

How many chapters are in each My Hero Academia manga volume

I'm just here for the Bakugo character development. Any volume that has a lot of him is a good volume, regardless of chapter count. Volume 28? Fantastic. Volume 32? Also fantastic. The number of chapters is irrelevant if he's not in them. This is only a partially serious take, but you get my point—the content defines the value, not the quantity.

How many My Hero Academia spin off manga volumes exist

12 Answers2026-08-04 08:10:22
I love the spinoffs almost more than the main series sometimes. 'Vigilantes' is a masterpiece—15 volumes of character-driven storytelling that actually concludes beautifully. It doesn't overstay its welcome. 'Smash!!' is a hilarious 5-volume diversion. 'Team-Up Missions' is still young at 3 volumes, but it's fun to see random team-ups. So yeah, 23 volumes of extra MHA manga to enjoy. It's a blessing for fans who can't get enough of that world. I'd argue 'Vigilantes' is essential reading for any serious fan, so don't let the volume count intimidate you; it's a quick, satisfying read.
