Horikoshi said on Jump Festa that MHA is "heading toward its conclusion"

I would say we are exactly at the middle of manga. So yeah, from now on towards to ending

I am loving the new music. I also really like what I see of the visuals but everything seemed sped up. Can’t wait for the 27th. Good PV.

Horikoshi said on Jump Festa that MHA is "heading toward its conclusion"

I honestly doubt that. Even if it is, it’s probably gonna be entire fucking years away. Current arc feels like the midpoint.

Sorachi's Tanjiro, Rengoku, and Shinobu.

Wasn't expecting that many good cuts out of this PV but I was pleasantly surprised. This arc isn't exactly good but there are chances it'll be much more entertaining in anime form. I'm looking forward to it.

Nak is shaking in his boots right now.

On a more serious note, this could mean any span of time. The story is most likely at its middle point right now so I wouldn't dwell much on it.

Was definitely surprised they went out of their way with Shouto’s fire again. It doesn’t look like Yutapon’s, but it seems the folks at the studio have taken it upon themselves to try and mimic Yutapon’s flair as well as possible. And that’s great.

Nak is currently hugging Horikoshi’s leg by his desk begging him to stay for at least 4 more years.

But yes, the statement probably doesn’t mean much and it could be taken a million different ways. The way I see it, this is probably akin to Kishimoto’s statements years prior to Naruto ending that he announced that Naruto vs Sasuke will be the final battle. He just wasn’t sure yet of how he was going to get there.

For Hero, if the author plans to finish the work within the next two years ... there is nothing strange. Taking into account that in one hundred chapters you can conclude many things.

I do not know. The manga that reach 500 chapters especially on the Jump are not so many.

He was talking about the war arc. MHA is nowhere near its end

 

[susanoo13]

Was anything important announced about Haikyuu? Witj the 4th season ending and all, it would have beet a good time to announce S5

In regards to Horikoshi’s comments, I don’t think we should take it TOO literally. I highly doubt he means that the manga is ending within the next year.

However, now that he’s said that, I now think the manga is a little past the “half way point”. I’m thinking he’s planning on wrapping its up in a little over the next 100 chapters or so now. So maybe 2.5-3ish years.

We’re in volume 30 now. A lot of us predicted that we could see the series ending in the late 30s/early 40s. We’re getting around that point now, so it makes sense. I doubt we’re at a halfway point in the sense that the series will be going on for another 30 volumes and end past volume 60.

 

[tirakai]

If MHA was about halfway done he would've said it's about halfway done.

I don't think it's ending especially soon, but at the same time it's best not to assume it still has many years left to go. I think we'll be able to guess better how long it has left once the current arc is done, if it leads directly into a final feeling arc or not.

I really hope Jump has a fuller magazine by the time it ends, we've just had so many hits end to the point where there's only 5 long runners left and if even some of those are gradually ending we could hit a point where Black Clover ends up being a top 3 series purely because there's nothing else left to go there.

I give it roughly 150-200 chapters. I also doubt Jump wants it to end too soon. My guess is, they’ll try and get it to reach past its 10th anniversary. That’s 3 years from now. 200 chapters ago, we reached the end of Act 1. We’ve now finished Act 2. That’s 4 years in real-life. That’s roughly the amount of time we have left until the 10th anniversary.

 

[Franz]

10 years is too long. If it is true that for Horikoshi volume 19 was half of the manga, at least 8, then another two years.

 

[Xzone]

At best , I give MHA to have Toriko's length.

I personally feel like Jump hasn’t been pressuring mangaka to extend the series past when they wish to end them in recent years. I’d imagine Horikoshi will be allowed to end the series where ever he feels like ending it.

As Tirakai said, we’ll have a better idea after this arc finishes. But

(Series spoilers)

Spoiler

plot elements have been moving pretty fast lately. Dabi revealed himself. Hawk’s Backstory has been revealed. Deku has 4 of his 7 powers. 2 of them he learned within the last 15 chapters or so. Bakugo’s development seems to have come full circle. Right now, it seems there’s only a few things left that hasn’t been unveiled in the plot yet that’s necessary. Unless Shigaraki gathers together like 10 new league members or something, and we have get a whole new group of characters on both sides who need character arcs to go through, I can honestly see everything being wrapped up in a little over 100 chapters, and ending in the early 400s.

Almost certainly, indeed probably even longer.
