Also, I needed to introduce characters that will be present in the last arc of the Boku No Hero Academia story, so I wanted to plan this all out. Horikoshi: I wanted to challenge myself in creating a long arc like that. Interviewer: The longest arc for ONE PIECE probably was more than 10 volumes.

However, series such as ONE PIECE have arcs that keep going and going, right?

Up until now, even the longest arcs for BNHA spanned no more than two volumes. Horikoshi: When I started the internship arc, I was thinking that I wanted to make this the longest arc so far. This is the “Internship Arc,” and it is supposed to be the longest arc within the Boku No Hero Academia story so far, right? At the moment, the most recent volume is Volume 18, and up until now Deku and the others have been interning with pro-heroes and also came into contact with villains along the way. Interviewer: Well then, let’s discuss some of the content for Boku No Hero Academia. Horikoshi: Ahh, it’s been four years already, huh. Interviewer: Boku No Hero Academia will be celebrating its 4th anniversary in July. He discusses many different things, from what is a hero to which arc was the most difficult to draw, how much he was involved with the new movie, and much more! The interview is extremely long but gives great insight into the creative process that he goes through! Enjoy~ I translated the entire interview with Boku No Hero Academia’s Horikoshi Kouhei, published online via Natalie Comics.
