Kohei Horikoshi's masterpiece, My Hero Academia, is now available at newsstands.
From June 20, 2025, one of the most beloved works of modern Japanese comics will finally arrive on newsstands, with La Gazzetta dello Sport : My Hero Academia , the masterpiece by Kohei Horikoshi .
A series that redefined the concept of “superhero” in contemporary manga, conquering millions of readers around the world.
A generational phenomenon
In a world where almost everyone has a "quirk," a special power, young Izuku Midoriya is born without any abilities. But his dream is to become a hero, just like the legendary All Might .
His life changes when All Might decides to pass on his power to him, beginning a journey of growth, sacrifice and the fight for justice.
My Hero Academia is much more than just a superhero story: it is a tale of coming of age, courage and friendship, in which each character faces their own fears and limits.
Precisely for this reason, it has managed to conquer not only manga fans, but also a large Western audience accustomed to Marvel and DC superheroes.
Kohei Horikoshi 's unique style
Horikoshi mixes the energy typical of American comics with the emotion and narrative depth of Japanese manga.
His paintings are dynamic and powerful, with a use of chiaroscuro that emphasizes the action scenes but never gives up the expressiveness of the faces.
Each panel conveys a sense of movement and intensity that has made My Hero Academia a benchmark of the modern shonen genre.
An unmissable edition for collectors
This new newsstand edition offers 42 volumes , with covers with flaps and free color postcards with each release.
Volume #1 , due out June 20, 2025 , also includes an exclusive bonus poster — a must-have for anyone looking to start or complete their collection.
With this initiative, La Gazzetta dello Sport brings one of the most iconic manga of recent years to newsstands, combining editorial quality and collecting passion.
An unmissable event for those who love great stories of heroes… and dream, like Midoriya, of becoming one one day.
