My Hero Academia, Dragon Ball Super and More Celebrate Summer With Special Art
Dragon Ball Super, My Hero Academia, One Piece and more have showed off some fun new sketches for the Summer! Anime and manga are even bigger and better than ever this year, and it's going to be a particularly busy Summer for many of the franchises coming out of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. New feature films for Dragon Ball Super and One Piece are making their way through theaters, My Hero Academia is making its way through its intense final battle between the heroes and villains, and that's only the major headlining franchises to keep track of.
With the Natsumicon convention kicking in later this year in Japan, Shueisha's artists have contributed to the festivities with some special new sketches featuring many of their characters in a fun new way. This includes art from My Hero Academia, Dragon Ball Super, One Piece, Chainsaw Man, Spy x Family, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaguya-sama: Love is War and many more series that have dropped some fun new art for the Summer season. You can check them out below starting with One Piece and My Hero Academia's contributions as spotted by @WSJ_manga on Twitter:

Each of these series have quite a big year ahead of them in both the manga and anime adaptation front, and while some of them have yet to get an official adaptation it's likely not much longer considering just how popular many of these franchises currently are. So while it's a busy Summer for many of these series this year, it's likely going to get even busier from here on out as each of the series continues with new chapters or episodes.
How do you feel about all of these Summer makeovers for Shueisha's biggest series? Which of the Summer sketches is your favorite of the entire bunch?
