Exclusive: The Mesmerizing Fan-Created Volume 39 Cover That My Hero Academia Fans Can't Stop Talking About!

My Hero Academia volume 39 is scheduled to be released on November 2, 2023, and fans are eagerly awaiting its cover illustration from mangaka Kohei Horikoshi. However, one passionate fan took it upon themselves to create a custom cover art for volume 39 after thoroughly exploring the plot.

Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia manga chronicles the journey of Izuku Midoriya, a young boy born without a quirk in a world where most individuals possess unique abilities. Despite this obstacle, Midoriya aspires to become the No. 1 Hero, inspired by his idol All Might. Fortunately, their paths cross, and Midoriya is chosen to inherit All Might's powers, setting him on a path towards fulfilling his dreams.

"I love the creativity": Fan-drawn My Hero Academia Volume 39 leaves fans amazed

The upcoming volume 39 of My Hero Academia is rumored to be among the franchise's last installments. As a result, a fan on X (formerly Twitter) @cpasDryNa has created a stunning artwork envisioning their interpretation of the next volume's cover. This captivating cover art draws inspiration from the franchise's initial manga volume cover.

In the initial volume of the manga, Deku was prominently featured with All Might positioned behind him, accompanied by other heroes. The fan's illustration took this concept and inverted it. In the fan-drawn cover art, Toshinori Yagi (All Might) takes center stage, with Deku appearing behind him. They are then followed by their fellow U.A. schoolmates, teachers, and other heroes.

Initially, All Might possessed the One For All quirk, while Midoriya had no powers. However, the situation has now been reversed, with Deku possessing the One For All quirk and All Might losing his abilities.

Fans were absolutely captivated by the incredible fan-drawn cover art! The artist's clever use of elements left everyone in awe. In fact, it was hard for one fan to even distinguish if it was fanmade or an official illustration by Kohei Horikoshi. Truly impressive! Other fans chimed in, sharing their own artistic experiences and showering praise upon the talented artist. We can't wait to see more stunning pieces like this in the future!

Fans were ecstatic about how the artwork paid homage to the initial volume of the franchise. With the My Hero Academia manga series nearing its conclusion, fans eagerly anticipated a comparable cover art for the forthcoming volume. As a result, a multitude of fans attempted to convey this very message to the manga's creator, Kohei Horikoshi.

@KoheiHorikoshi, please consider giving us another breathtaking volume cover art that captures the essence of the first one. #MyHeroAcademia #CoverArtRequest

Despite this, a number of fans expressed their thoughts on the artwork, noting subtle alterations. Primarily, considering the current stage in the series' storyline, it seemed illogical for the artwork to possess such vibrant hues. Consequently, one fan proposed the inclusion of darker undertones.

In the artwork, some fans felt that Deku's smile was too joyful considering his fight with Tomura Shigaraki. They believed that a crazier expression would have been more fitting. Additionally, certain fan groups expressed disappointment that characters like Jiro and Kirishima were not included in the My Hero Academia volume 39 cover art, despite other characters like Endeavor, Shoto, Monoma, and Eraser Head being featured. However, they understood that the artist had to make tough decisions when creating the cover art.
