On Monday, December 19 at 12 a.m. JST, the next chapter of My Hero Academia was scheduled to be released. But multiple reliable sources have indicated that the chapter would be delayed indefinitely owing to mangaka Horikoshi’s health problems. There was a leak of a special note from issue 3 of Weekly Shonen Jump, in which the series’ editors explained to readers why the upcoming chapter had been postponed at such short notice that no corrections could be made to the printed materials.
However, they told readers that the manga will resume publication in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 4/5, which would include a cover story and the outcomes of the next reader vote.
The release of My Hero Academia Chapter 376 has been postponed owing to the mangaka Horikoshi’s illness
Spoilers for Chapter 376, which would typically be circulating by December 15th, were unable to be found when the break was announced, alerting readers to the fact that a break had occurred. Fans of the manga were worried for Horikoshi’s well-being when a picture of the aforementioned message from the editors surfaced. All of Shueisha’s official online reading platforms, including Manga Plus & VIZ, still put the publication date of My Hero Academia chapter 376 as December 19, 12 am JST, adding to the confusion over the delay. The third issue will be available to the public on this day.
It’s true that publishers have yet to make the necessary adjustments due to the delay in learning about the breach, but this is because they were just told of the setback recently. This leak also alerts fans that the eighth popularity poll results will be revealed in My Hero Academia chapter 376. A colourful page from the series will appear on the front of Weekly Shonen Jump Volume 4, Number 5. Whatever news is made at Jump Festa 2023, we may expect further details.
Timeline for the possible arrival of My Hero Academia Chapter 376
My Hero Academia Chapter 376 will be published in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 4/5, the Christmas Issue, on December 26 at 12 am JST (if Horikoshi’s health holds out). The following are the worldwide timings at which the chapter will be available on VIZ, Manga Plus, and the Shonen Jump app.
Starting at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, December 25 in the Pacific Time Zone, 10:00 a.m. in the Eastern Time Zone, 3:00 p.m. in the Greenwich Mean Time Zone, 4:00 p.m. in the Central European Time Zone, 8:30 p.m. in the Indian Time Zone, 11:00 p.m. in the Philippine Time Zone, and 12:30 a.m. in the Australia Central Time Zone on Monday, December 26.
Concluding Ideas
In addition, Jump Festa 2023 occurs during the third issue. Announcing the series’ cancellation at the end of 2022, Horikoshi made the announcement during Jump Festa 2022. (2022). It is improbable that the mangaka will be able to wrap up the story even by the end of 2023, given the current status of the manga. At the My Hero Academia Super Stage, the mangaka will make a statement regarding a new anticipated finish date for the series, which is something many fans are looking forward to.
After Jump Festa, Weekly Shonen Jump will publish Issues 4/5, take a vacation, publish Issues 6/7, and then take another break before resuming regular publishing in the new year. The author will hopefully feel more refreshed and able to better arrange his work after taking these pauses. Because of how demanding it is to work in manga, Horikoshi’s followers are quite concerned about the length and frequency of his breaks. No one cares about reading the manga if it means harming the mangaka, and his health is of paramount importance.
