As posted, there are no announcements out about My Hero Academia's manga turn just yet. Fans know it will be going out in May, but there is no word on how long it will be. This first post makes it sound like the adaptation will be a single volume, but Shueisha has yet to comment on the title's length.
For those of you unaware of the film, My Hero Academia: Two Heroes came out last summer and had its world premiere in Los Angeles. The film is canon and set sometime before the events of season three. It follows Izuku Midoriya as the boy joins All Might on a vacation to I-Island for a Pro Hero meeting. The duo meet up with a slew of other UA Academy students, but things go south with the high-security island is taken over by villains. It falls to Izuku and his friends to save the day, but their mission is way easier said than done.

My Hero Academia was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has powers, even though he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he's eventually scouted by the world's best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.
