#thank you horikoshi kohei

Thanks for MHA, Horikoshi.

[helga-grinduil]

Aged like milk I’d say

First reminder: MHA is written by a Japanese man for a Japanese audience, and if you can’t even for one second at least try to look at it from the perspective of Japanese cultural and spiritual beliefs instead of projecting your own western ones… good luck, I guess?

Second reminder: MHA is a meta story about the art of fiction, escapism, fantasy vs. reality, and theatre. It’s quite literally a three-act play about fantasy, reality, and the balance of both. It’s about a stage, and character masks, and actors, and the real world outside of the stage, and about fighting against the writer who is too lost in his own fantasy.

Third reminder: visual storytelling is a tool sometimes used to contradict the lines of the story, which invites readers to think about what is actually the truth here.

Fourth reminder: MHA is anti-darwinism and anti-biological essentialism.

Fifth reminder: Hero system was literally created to control quirked population in the post-apocalypse. It’s FOR quirks. Heroes exist to keep population’s quirk usage in check by being the only profession that allows you to use them, and strictly for ‘good’, while also showing off those quirks to keep population entertained and content with the lie that quirks are accepted, actually! (Aren’t heroes so cool and their quirks are so flashy? See, we like quirks! We accept and allow quirks! Only if you use them for the good of society, of course! You are still not allowed to use or express them if you’re not a hero though, sorry). So. No, you can’t be a ‘hero’ (job) without a quirk, having quirks is A REQUIREMENT for this job.

Sixth reminder: MHA is a sci-fi with fantasy elements. Some concepts in sci-fi aren’t meant to be 1:1 parallels to real life. Quirkless people aren’t a disability allegory, it’s an allegory for any minority in general. MHA is a story about a person from a minority becoming one of people in power and about what effect a person with the experience of being a part of minority can have on others in power, acting as the first falling domino that ends up completely rewriting the script of the story.

Seventh reminder: MHA is about one person’s small actions affecting the world like a chain reaction. One action affects another person, and that person also makes it’s own small action. Everyone performing their small actions together, those small actions eventually combining and creating big results. Concepts of karma and butterfly effect. That’s literally what the idea of OFA is about. Everyone thinking about everyone else even just a little, doing their parts, creating a web and changing the world little by little.

Eighth reminder: the themes, good lord, the themes. Remember the fucking themes, you dumbfucks. My god. One of those fucking themes is the real person vs. the mask, by the way. Which, by the way, circles back to the first reminder, since it’s all about the Japanese concept of honne and tatemae.

Ninth reminder: touch grass and stop projecting.

P.S. ‘Izuku doesn’t want to change the status quo’ - Izuku wanting to save Shigaraki is literally him going against the narrative of the story. Saving Shigaraki IS changing the status quo - it’s another (very big) falling domino that will have a huge effect on the world and the status quo as the result.

ya’ll will NEVER understand how much it genuinely frustrates and makes my heart break to see how some people are talking about my favourite anime and just don’t fucking understand it or its wonderful story.

My Hero Academia, they could never make me hate you.

Thank You Kohei Horikoshi!!!

Thank you MHA!!

Thank you everyone!

I'll love them for the rest of my life

MHA has finally come to an end, and with me being sentimental, I thought it'd be fitting for me to draw the class all together one last time. Horikoshi has had the strongest impact on the way I draw now, right next to Kishimoto, and I'm really grateful to have been convinced to get into the anime way back then. I wouldn't have ever tried making comics if I didn't.

Aww this is just too cute!

Izuku really became just like All Might.

[ilovereadingandstuff]

As someone who has been a fan of My Hero Academia since chapter 4 was posted into Shonen Jump, I am so lucky and so genuinely thankful to have been a part of this story and this journey that Horikoshi has taken us on. Thank you Horikoshi Kohei for everything you’ve given us.

[finn-cipher]

Its because of this manga I got to meet wonderful people, motivated me to improve my art and inspire me to write comics. Thank you for being part of the best 10 Years of my life!

Hi guys haven’t posted in 2 years but i’m back for the official ending of Boku no hero academia.

Happy tears, sad tears

This was such a journey and while i will keep posting fics im so sad that there will be no more manga updates.

Or maybe they will continue the story in another manga and i can just forget i made this post.

Anyways to celebrate the ending and hopefully new beginning I went through the twitter and found all my favorite fanarts and official arts and i’m going to share it with all of you.

Most of these arts have the creators watermarks but the ones that don’t I found almost everything on the tag #ThankyouKoheiHorikoshi on twitter so go there and support these artist. They put there soul into their work and it all came out so beautifully.

Thank you Kohei Horikoshi for the most beautiful work of art i’ve ever read. I will never forget your story and the way you made fictional characters become so important in my life even if it was for a short time.

live laugh love My Hero Academia
