My Hero Academia fans were disappointed this week when Chapter 414 was delayed due to manga creator Kohei Horikoshi falling ill. Just days before the next issue of Weekly Shonen Jump was set to release, the editorial department shared the news that a sudden sickness had prevented Horikoshi from finishing the chapter in time.
In an apologetic statement, the team expressed regret for the last-minute delay and asked readers to continue supporting the popular manga series. Though Chapter 414 was originally listed in the issue’s table of contents, corrections unfortunately could not be made before printing deadlines.
- Rumors suggest Horikoshi’s illness this time was more severe than usual, raising concern among devoted MHA fans. At this time, most understand the mangaka prioritizing his health over meeting schedules. There’s no doubt readers would rather see Horikoshi take care of himself rather than force out chapters while unwell.
The delay of Chapter 414 comes just as excitement builds for My Hero Academia’s upcoming seventh anime season. With the manga currently exploring intriguing new war arcs, fans are eager to see the next phase of Deku and friends’ adventures. For now, they’ll have to wait a bit longer for the story to progress.

- Barring any further setbacks with Horikoshi’s health, Chapter 414 should arrive on Monday, February 19 at 12 AM JST. Of course, the mangaka’s well-being is top priority, so release plans could change if he requires more recovery time.
