JJK has many plans for fans. Culling Arc key images have just been revealed.

JJK ended by defeating Sokona. However, many fans weren't happy with the ending, and even with its popularity, it all felt too rushed.

My hero academy

My hero academy It is a manga that no one will soon forget. Over the years, it has become one of the most iconic manga around the world, reaching high levels of popularity. The manga started in 2014 and ended this year in 2024 alongside Jujutsu Kaisen, which was also very successful in Shonen Jump. The series ran for 10 years and gave manga fans an iconic story and very memorable characters.

The final fight between Deku and Shigaraki was one that will be remembered for years to come, especially when it was animated in the final season of the series. Not all fans were happy with the ending, especially because Deco and Ochaco's relationship didn't progress, but an ending in the final cover made it a bit more and pretty much made Deco and Ochaco a couple. The conclusion also tied up other loose ends that the story had after the ending. While MHA is over, fans can still look forward to MHA content, especially some spinoffs and the Vigilantes anime coming next year.

Horikoshi has made this series so lovable and this manga will definitely influence the next series published in Shonen Jump after that. With MHA gone, Shonen Jump has a lot of voids to fill, especially with the end of other great series like JJK.
