The official Twitter account for Kōhei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia manga revealed on Saturday that the manga will not have a new chapter in this year's 11th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine as originally planned on Tuesday due to the author's "sudden illness."

The manga has also inspried three anime films. The fourth anime film is titled My Hero Academia the Movie: You're Next (My Hero Academia: You're Next), and it will debut on August 2. Horikoshi is again serving as the general supervisor and original character designer.
