My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Shares Cover Art for Final Volume

By Nick Valdez

My Hero Academia recently brought its long running prequel and spin-off series to an end, and My Hero Academia: Vigilantes has released the cover art for the fifteenth and final volume of the manga! Hideyuki Furuhashi and Betten Court's original manga series kicked off with the compelling premise of taking place a few years before the events of the main series, and over its run not only used this opportunity to showcase many of the main series' heroes and villains in a new light, but also highlight some brand new characters caught within the cracks of the hero world.  

This led to the main characters from My Hero Academia: Vigilantes becoming the titular vigilantes in question. Noticing how the heroes were skipping over the crimes in their small town, the three main leads took things into their own hands and took on an increasingly tough series of villains as the spin-off reached its end. Now that it's over, fans will soon be able to own all of its volumes with Volume 15 being the last one hitting shelves in Japan later this Summer. Illustrator the series Betten Court actually shared the first look at the final volume's cover art that you can check out below: 

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes follows Koichi Haimawari as he starts off becoming a small town hero helping with smaller tasks (like litter and garbage), and eventually turns into some bigger and bigger battles against his own villains. This soon reaches a point by the end of the series where he's coming face to face with beings that fully influenced what came from All For One years later in the main series, and it went to showcase just how important Koichi ultimately means to the main series' story as a whole despite the fact he has yet to show up in it. 

The spin-off series ultimately has some pretty important connections to the main series' events, and with it now over it's the perfect time for fans of the main series to jump in. Volume 15 of the series will be launching in Japan next month, but it will be quite some time before it gets a physical English language release. Until then, you can now find My Hero Academia: Vigilantes' entire run with Viz Media's digital Shonen Jump library.
