The My Hero Academia manga officially ended with chapter 430

Kohei Horikoshi recommends a new replacement for My Hero Academia to fans
MHA has a new Horikoshi-recommended replacement – and it could be Shonen Jump's next big hit.
Izuku left his heroic career and became a teacher. In this chapter, Deku receives a gift from All Might, which is a A hero suit that gives him Quirk-like abilities. This allows him to become a hero again.
This was the last MHA chapter published in Weekly Shonen Jump. Chapter 431 of My Hero Academia came out later, in the last volume. Some believe this chapter was created by Horikoshi due to the many negative reactions to the original ending got, but it's not quite true.
My Hero Academia anime could create a movie of the future
The My Hero Academia anime will more than likely end with MHA chapter 431and this will give fans much more closure compared to manga ending with more detailed character epilogues.
Not only that, but it's more than likely that the anime will add some exclusive content. This anime content could greatly expand the storyand maybe even set up future projects such as film.
Fans would love to see Deku and other new Pro Heroes in action againwhich is something they have never seen in the manga. A movie where Deku, Bakugo and the others face a new threat would also be awesome. This movie could also finally realize Deku's goal as he may be able to overtake Mirio as Japan's #1 hero.
The My Hero Academia manga has ended with 431 chapters for fans to read. You can find all these chapters on Manga Plus. My Hero Academia is also airing its final season, which will consist of a total of 11 episodes. The series can be watched on Crunchyroll.
