Where To Watch My Hero Academia Season 7 & Read The Manga (2024)

There’s never been a better time to get into My Hero Academia. The superhero shōnen story is currently in very exciting phases on two fronts. The highly anticipated seventh season of the anime promises to overshadow all predecessors with the commencement date of the series’ final war arc. In the manga, the story’s heroes are gearing up to complete the final phase of the very same war. Many longtime fans, and some new ones, are eager to jump back into the adventure and follow Midoriya Izuku on his heroic quest.

There are several options for fans wishing to continue My Hero Academia in either of the story’s formats. Considering how popular the franchise has become over the past decade, it’s no surprise how accessible it is compared to other anime/manga titles. However, choosing the right one can depend on several factors. A fan’s location, preferred streaming service and even the point of the story they have reached can all influence how they choose to watch My Hero Academia.

What is My Hero Academia About?

My Hero Academia is set in an alternate universe where about 80% of the human population has developed metaphysical abilities known as Quirks. The rise of Quirks has created the previously fictional profession of superheroes, who use their Quirks to protect regular citizens from the villains who would cause them harm with their own Quirks. The series’ main character, Midoriya Izuku, is part of the 20% of the population that is Quirkless.

Despite this, he still dreamed of becoming a Pro-Hero and was given the chance to love this dream when he had a chance encounter with the Symbol of Peace, All Might. After he receives the One For All Quirk, My Hero Academia chronicles Deku’s journey towards becoming the greatest hero himself, while exploring the subtleties of the Quirk-based society. The series explores themes like heroism, including what it means to be a true hero, perseverance and features many nuanced moral dilemmas not traditionally associated with battle shōnen. My Hero Academia’s near universal popularity is a testament to Horikoshi Kohei’s strong world building, fascinating character interactions and compelling narrative arcs.

Where To Watch My Hero Academia Season 7

My Hero Academia's Season 7 Is Primarily Available On Crunchyroll

Just like its previous seasons, My Hero Academia Season 7 will enjoy a weekly release schedule with new episodes being released every Saturday at 5:30 am ET or 2:30 am PST. Crunchyroll Premium subscribers will be able to watch the subbed version of new My Hero Academia episodes almost instantly, usually about 30 minutes after the episode finishes airing in Japan. Currently, a Crunchyroll subscription is the only legal option for fans outside of Japan to experience Season 7, but as is custom, it is expected to be licensed to other distributors and streaming services in the future.

• My Hero Academia Season 7 will cover most of the series’ final war arc.
• Season 7 begins adapting from Chapter 329 of the manga and will most likely end around Chapter 340

Fans who wish to watch the shōnen sensation dubbed in English might have a slightly longer wait time for new episodes of My Hero Academia. Since the first episode only began airing on May 18th, each episode dubbed in English will be available on Crunchyroll about 2 months after its Japanese counterpart first begins streaming. The English dub will be similarly serviced to other platforms when its initial run is over. In addition to the 4 part Memories recap, Season 7 of My Hero Academia will have 25 episodes, which has become the standard of every new season. It is expected to finish airing in Winter 2024, and will be the superhero series’ penultimate season, setting the stage for the grand finale.

Where To Watch Earlier Seasons of My Hero Academia

My Hero Academia's Older Episodes Are More Readily Accessible

While My Hero Academia’s earlier seasons were also Crunchyroll and Funimation exclusives when they were first airing, they have since become more widely available. Crunchyroll is naturally the most obvious provider most anime fans will watch My Hero Academia on, as the anime streaming juggernaut offers a limited selection of episodes with its free trial and full access to the entire series with a paid subscription. Hulu has a similar offer, as those subscribed to its free trial are restricted to viewing just the first season of MHA. My Hero Academia’s older seasons can also be viewed on both Apple TV and YouTube TV, but only with paid subscriptions on both platforms.

Hardcore fans of the superhero shōnen series who wish to own physical copies of My Hero Academia also have the option to do so. Various box sets and collections of My Hero Academia DVDs and Blu-rays are available on the Crunchyroll store. Amazon also routinely offers discounts on DVDs of My Hero Academia’s previous six seasons, and has the added benefit of worldwide shipping. Fans can also keep an eye out at local retailers and CD shops as hard copies of My Hero Academia are likely to show up in the wild given the series’ popularity.

Where To Read The My Hero Academia Manga

Some Fans Prefer My Hero Academia In Its Original Medium

With the My Hero Academia manga is fast approaching its conclusion, there’s never been a better time to get into the series’ original source material, especially for fans who are unwilling to or too impatient to wait for the final arcs to be animated. Luckily, My Hero Academia is one of the more widely available manga. Fans can instantly access the manga in its digital format on the Manga Plus app for free, but will be limited to reading each chapter only once unless they acquire a paid subscription.

The Viz app has a similar offering, with additional benefits for paying subscribers that free readers are barred from. Both Viz and Manga Plus offer simulpubs, meaning that new My Hero Academia chapters are available on them at the same time as they are in Japan. Many manga fans prefer to own hard copies of their favorite stories, whether to guarantee they have unrestricted access or for the purposes of completing their collection.

The My Hero Academia manga can be purchased by the volume or in box sets in online retailers such as Barnes and Noble, Amazon and the Crunchyroll shop. Print volumes often include certain extras and corrections that are missing from digital versions, so they are well worth the effort for fans who wish to collect them. My Hero Academia volumes can also be found in many comic book stores and bookstores.

Where To Watch The My Hero Academia Movies

My Hero Academia Has Three Movies Available on Various Platforms

So far, My Hero Academia has had three theatrical movies that tie into the series' main timeline, with the fourth, “You’re Next”, slated for release in August 2024. Like the previous movies, “You’re Next” will enjoy an exclusive run in theaters before being made available to fans at home. The first three movies, Two Heroes, Heroes Rising and World Heroes Mission can be bought on both Amazon Prime and YouTube TV. Hulu also allows fans to watch them with a paid subscription. Unfortunately, the My Hero Academia movies are not available on Crunchyroll, even to subscribers with a Premium subscription.

The My Hero Academia movies can also be streamed on Apple TV or bought individually on iTunes in either their subbed or dubbed versions. Naturally, DVDs and Blu-rays of the first three My Hero Academia movies are also available, and can be purchased from online retailers such as Amazon, eBay or on the Crunchyroll store. They can also be found in brick-and-mortar retailers, but fans might have to invest some time searching for them if they choose to use this route.

Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.
