In What Reading Order Should I Place My Hero Academia Vol 25?

Caught up after MHA's Paranormal Liberation War arc and can't remember where volume 25 fits with Season 6 episodes and the manga.

The order is numerical. Vol 25 contains chapters 258-270 of the ongoing serialization. So, you read up to chapter 257 (end of Vol 24), then proceed to 258. This section of the story is notoriously fast-paced and plot-heavy, with multiple battles occurring simultaneously. Reading it in sequence ensures you can follow the rapid shifts in perspective and location without getting lost. It's a thrilling but dense part of the manga.

I feel like sometimes people ask these questions hoping for a secret, more exciting order. Sorry to disappoint, but with MHA, the standard order is the best order. Volume 25 is a key piece of the character-development puzzle, but it's not a standalone piece.

Its value is in how it progresses dynamics established earlier. Bakugo's leadership, Todoroki's control, Midoriya's creeping anxiety about One For All—all these threads are advanced here, but they started volumes ago.

So, to get the full effect, you have to have traveled the road that leads to it. That means starting from volume 1, or at the very least, not skipping volumes 24.

The beauty of a straightforward serialized manga is the lack of reading-order headaches. You get volume 24. You read it. You feel the cliffhanger or the conclusion. You crave more. You pick up volume 25. It satisfies that craving and leads you to volume 26.

That natural, serialized flow is the intended experience. Don't break it by over-engineering. Volume 25's job is to be the next hit after volume 24. So let it do its job.

It goes right where you'd expect: after 24, before 26. Not to be reductive, but it's a standard shonen manga, not 'The Witcher' series with short stories you can jump into. The narrative is a continuous thread. Vol 25 is particularly important for understanding the scope of the villain organization and the true cost of hero society. The order is designed to maximize emotional payoff, so trust it.

It's funny, because the question seems so simple, but it hints at how complex modern fandom consumption can be. Between the manga, the anime (which rearranged arcs), the movies, and the spin-offs, I get why someone might be unsure.

But for the core manga narrative, volume 25 has one home: after 24, before 26. The anime's decision to put the Meta Liberation Arc before the Joint Training Arc in season five is a controversial adaptation choice, but it doesn't change the source material's intended order.

Always default to the manga's own sequencing. That's the author's true vision. So place it physically and chronologically between 'My Hero Academia' volumes 24 and 26 on your shelf or in your reading app.

Where does My Hero Academia Vol 22 fit in the series reading order?

13 Answers2026-08-04 22:20:58
If you’re watching the anime, Season 4 covers this. But for the manga, the volumes are your season box sets. Volume 22 is like the first half of the ‘School Festival’ storyline. So in a binge read, you finish the Overhaul arc (your big action movie), then you pop in this volume (your feel-good character episode). The order is designed for pacing. You wouldn’t watch the character episode before the action movie it’s reacting to. So you read Volume 22 after the action movie volumes. It’s pacing 101. The author is controlling the rhythm of your experience. Trust the rhythm.

In what order should I read My Hero Academia Vigilantes Vol 1?

6 Answers2026-08-04 05:55:10
The beauty of 'Vigilantes' is in the downtime between fights. The chapters where characters just talk, work their jobs, or deal with mundane problems. Those moments are placed intentionally between the action beats to let the characters breathe and let you connect with them. If you read only the 'exciting' chapters, you'd get a hollow experience. The intended order weaves action and slice-of-life together to create a rich tapestry. So read it cover-to-cover, including the quieter moments. That's where the soul of the series lives.

It's the bridge. Not everyone loves bridge volumes, but this one is crucial. It connects the Paranormal Liberation War arc to the Dark Hero arc. Without it, Deku's later actions seem abrupt. This volume shows the societal pressure and personal trauma that drive him to his breaking point. So in the reading order, it's the connective tissue that makes the later plot twists feel inevitable rather than forced. You can't understand the final act without it.

Where does My Hero Academia Vol 5 fit in the manga reading order?

It's the fifth book. The narrative is linear. Therefore, you read the fifth book after the fourth book and before the sixth book. This isn't a series with alternate timelines or parallel stories that require a special guide. The simplicity is a strength. You can just focus on enjoying the story without needing a flowchart. Volume 5 delivers some of the most iconic moments in early 'MHA,' and they land precisely because of the foundation laid in Volumes 1-4. If you're reading online, most sites will have the volumes listed in a drop-down menu or as separate entries. Just click on 'Volume 5' after you finish 'Volume 4.' The digital infrastructure is built around this standard order.

In what order should I read up to My Hero Academia Vigilantes Vol 14?

Imagine reading a biography of a famous leader, and then reading a book about the everyday life in their hometown during their youth. Which order is better? Reading the biography first gives the hometown details more significance. Reading the hometown book first gives you grassroots context for the leader's rise. Neither is wrong. 'MHA' is the biography of Deku and All Might. 'Vigilantes' is the book about the hometown (Naruhata) in the years before. I personally prefer the context-first approach, so I read 'Vigilantes' first. Walking into the main series, I had a grounded understanding of the hero system's flaws that made Deku's idealism and All Might's burden even more poignant. But I'm in the minority. Most prefer the significance that comes from knowing the main characters first. Choose based on which type of reader you are: one who likes foundational context, or one who likes revelatory flashbacks.

Cool thread. I'm just waiting to see if anyone has a hot take on the license exam arc itself. The order seems pretty settled.

In what order should I read My Hero Academia Smash vol 2 with the manga?

11 Answers2026-08-04 09:06:59
I think the community overcomplicates this. New fans see 'Smash!!' on the shelf, think it's part of the story, and get anxious about order. The simple thing to tell them is: 'It's a joke book based on the characters. Read the real story first, then read the jokes.' That's the clearest, most practical guidance. No need for chapter numbers or arc names. Just 'real story, then jokes.' That ensures they get the full, intended impact of the main series without distraction, and then they get to enjoy 'Smash!!' with full context. Keep it simple.

Where does My Hero Academia Vol 11 fit in the series reading order?

17 Answers2026-08-04 09:31:42
Not every series requires strict order, but this one absolutely does. The power system, character relationships, and world politics develop in real time. Volume 11 features characters using moves and strategies they developed in previous volumes. Their growth is sequential. So, to understand how they're fighting, you need to see why they fight that way. That context is in volumes 1-10. The reading order isn't a suggestion; it's the blueprint for understanding the story's logic and heart. Place volume 11 anywhere else, and the blueprint falls apart.

What is the reading order for My Hero Academia Team Up Mission Vol 2?

11 Answers2026-08-04 04:31:48
For a second I thought this was about the 'Vigilantes' spin-off. That has a more crucial order. Team-Up Missions is much more flexible. Vol 2 directly follows Vol 1 in publication, no tricks.

Where does My Hero Academia volume 23 fit in the overall arc order?

The festival planning is fun, but the real tension comes from the League of Villains subplot. They're in disarray but plotting. This duality defines the volume's place—it's a surface-level school story with an undercurrent of looming threat. In arc progression, it maintains the villain storyline without letting it dominate. The League's scenes are short but remind you they're still the overarching threat. So its fit is as a reminder of the serialized plot amidst a more episodic one. It prevents the festival arc from feeling like filler by tying it back to the main antagonistic force. This clever storytelling ensures the volume is a cohesive part of the ongoing saga, not a detour.
