——The history behind “BnHA”’s serialization

Koike: After his (Kohei Horikoshi) second series ended, the name “Boku no Hero”—a completed one-shot story which remained in Horikoshi’s heart—came up when we were talking about what we should write for his third series. Having a soft spot for this story, Horikoshi felt a strong urge to turn it into a series, and that was our starting line. After some polishing, the story was finally serialized.

“My Hero” was the basis for “BnHA”
