How many copies has My Hero Academia sold?
The headline figure landed at a poetic moment: on 4 April 2024, as the manga entered its final stretch, Shueisha announced that the series had passed 100 million copies in circulation worldwide, spin-off volumes included. It is the circulation metric, copies printed and shipped rather than sold through, and it places the series in the small company of manga that reached nine figures during their own runs.
The commercial record around the number: the manga was a regular presence on the New York Times bestseller list in English, and in 2024 Shueisha ran the franchise’s capstone popularity exercise, the World Best Hero poll, the publisher’s first worldwide character poll for a manga, promoted with an advertisement in the international edition of the New York Times and decided by global vote that December, its winner to be honoured with a bronze statue designed by Horikoshi.
