“Q: What made you start writing My Hero Academia and what was your inspiration?"
Horikoshi: [After previous failures], I took this opportunity as a final challenge in Shonen Jump.
So I decided to pour my all into drawing this series with the mindset that I would have no regrets, allowing me to do whatever I liked and draw whatever I liked as well.”
