My Hero Academia Chapter 414 Gets a New Release Date

Unfortunately for the series’ fans, the much-awaited release of My Hero Academia chapter 414 has been delayed. The chapter, which was scheduled to be available to the readers this week, will now be released the week after. 

My Hero Academia chapter 413 was a spectacle as Deku’s transformation changed the course of the present narrative. Moreover, while the protagonist assumes this beastly form, he gives up his Quirk, One For All, in an attempt to tackle Tomura Shigaraki. Thus, fans have been awaiting the aftermath of this major plot twist ever since the chapter was released.

Though chapter 414 should have been released by Monday, February 12, 2024, it has now officially been slated to be released in Weekly Shōnen Jump Magazine’s 12th issue. Hence, My Hero Academia chapter 414 will be available on Monday, February 19, 2024

Why is My Hero Academia chapter 414 delayed?

My Hero Academia chapter 414 release is delayed due to “the author’s sudden illness,” as per the manga’s official X account. Sharing an illustration, mangaka Kohei Horikoshi tweeted, “I feel unwell! Sorry to everyone who was looking forward to it! It’s okay now! Take care of your health! Everyone, make sure to eat and sleep well! The cat is cute!”

While many fans seemed upset with the news, given the number of breaks the author had taken over months, others sympathized with him. Likewise, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their worry for the author’s health. They also supported his decision to take breaks to prioritize his health.

Fans’ restlessness for the upcoming chapter stems from the previous chapter ending with a cliffhanger. Despite mangaka’s health issue, he devised a plot that captivated the readers. Therefore, the break seems like an essential step in Horikoshi’s recovery and its ultimate effect on the plot.
