ABOUT MY HERO ACADEMIA VIGILANTES

Written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is an engaging spinoff prequel series. The manga made its debut in August 2016, initially serialized in Jump Giga magazine before transitioning to Shueisha’s online platform, Shonen Jump+, where it continued its successful six-year run. The thrilling journey of Vigilantes concluded in July 2022, spanning a total of 126 chapters that have been compiled into 15 standalone volumes. Exciting news for English readers, as Viz Media has announced the upcoming release of the complete English translation of Vigilantes‘ final volume in print on Oct. 10.

Set in the years preceding the main series, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes delves into the life of Koichi Haimawari, a 19-year-old university student who deeply admires the world’s heroes, particularly the renowned Symbol of Peace, All Might. However, Koichi’s modest quirk, „Slide and Glide,“ prevents him from emulating his idol. This leads to his unexpected recruitment by the vigilante Knuckleduster, thrusting him into the pursuit of justice in the gritty underbelly of Tokyo. The spinoff’s darker tone draws inspiration from DC’s Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns, as shared by Furuhashi.

Notably, Vigilantes showcases the early days of beloved characters from My Hero Academia, with a significant focus on Shota Aizawa, also known as Eraserhead, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-A. The series offers a deeper exploration of notorious villains like the infamous Hero Killer Stain, taking advantage of its grittier atmosphere. Furthermore, several Pro Heroes, including iconic figures like All Might, Endeavor, and Mirko, make appearances throughout the narrative, enriching the interconnectedness of the two series.
