My Hero Academia Chapter 380 Gets Delayed By 2 Weeks

The official Twitter handle of My Hero Academia manga announced on Feb 3, 2023, that it will be going on a 2-week break due to the poor health conditions of the author Kohei Horikoshi.

Due to this, the manga will skip Weekly Shonen Jump’s issue #10 (releasing on Feb 6) and #11, hence delaying the release of chapter 380. It will resume serialization in the magazine’s issue #12, which will release on Feb 20, 2023.

MAL describes the plot of the manga as follows:

The appearance of “quirks,” newly discovered super powers, has been steadily increasing over the years, with 80 percent of humanity possessing various abilities from manipulation of elements to shapeshifting. This leaves the remainder of the world completely powerless, and Izuku Midoriya is one such individual.

Since he was a child, the ambitious middle schooler has wanted nothing more than to be a hero. Izuku’s unfair fate leaves him admiring heroes and taking notes on them whenever he can. But it seems that his persistence has borne some fruit: Izuku meets the number one hero and his personal idol, All Might. All Might’s quirk is a unique ability that can be inherited, and he has chosen Izuku to be his successor!

Enduring many months of grueling training, Izuku enrolls in UA High, a prestigious high school famous for its excellent hero training program, and this year’s freshmen look especially promising. With his bizarre but talented classmates and the looming threat of a villainous organization, Izuku will soon learn what it really means to be a hero.
