How My Hero Academia Ended Up Being Much Longer Than Horikoshi Intended
The immensely popular My Hero Academia was originally planned to be way shorter, but would this have benefitted the series in hindsight?
It's pretty much impossible for any manga author to accurately predict how long their series will go on for once they start writing. It's no secret that being able to publish a series in the Shonen Jump magazine for years on end is an extremely difficult task, especially considering how many series are axed each year for not attracting enough readers. Kohei Horikoshi, the author of My Hero Academia, actually tried to publish two stories before Deku arrived on the scene, so there would undoubtedly have been a lot of pressure on him to hit a home run the third time around.
