Kohei Horikoshi's failures before My Hero Academia
The My Hero Academia manga has recently ended after a decade-long run. To cope with the loss, it's time for fans to read about the manga, its spinoffs, and also some fanfic. Kohei Horikoshi gave the heroes the ending they deserved, especially Deku.
But when past interviews resurface, Horikoshi's inspirations for the manga and his goals are reiterated. In one such interview, Horikoshi explained how he always wanted My Hero Academia to be one of the best series.
