My Hero Academia Expands Fantasy AU With New Promo Art

By Nick Valdez

My Hero Academia has expanded its cool fantasy fiction based alternate universe with some slick new cover art with the newest chapter of the series! One of the coolest things that series creator Kohei Horikoshi has teased about the series was a special fantasy makeover for his characters when celebrating many of the series' big popularity polls. The first fantasy AU makeover was such a hit that he soon followed up with a second, and now the creator has returned to this fun idea for a whole new take on even the characters he managed to give a fantasy armor makeover before. 

To coincide with the results of the newest popularity poll for My Hero Academia released in Japan, series creator Kohei Horikoshi used the cover art for Chapter 376 of the manga to highlight the top ten winners of the poll with some cool makeovers. Revisiting the fantasy AU world that fans constantly ask to see even more of some day, it's a nice look at where the franchise could go should we get a spin-off like this. Check out the new cover art below:
