Fans of My Hero Academia have reason to celebrate as Vigilantes, the beloved spin-off manga series, is finally receiving an anime adaptation set to premiere in 2026.
A New Perspective on Hero Society
Vigilantes follows Koichi Haimawari, who operates as the vigilante hero "The Crawler" in a time before the main My Hero Academia story. The series provides a grittier, street-level view of hero society and explores characters and events that predate Deku's journey.
The spin-off manga, written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, has been praised for its unique tone and compelling character development, particularly its exploration of Aizawa's backstory and the origins of several key characters.
Why It Matters
With the main My Hero Academia series having concluded its final season in 2025, Vigilantes offers fans a chance to stay in the beloved universe while exploring new characters and storylines. The announcement has generated significant excitement among the fandom.
Production Details
While the animation studio hasn't been confirmed, fans are hoping for Bones to continue their involvement with the franchise. More details are expected to be announced in the coming months.
