‘My Hero Academia’ Is the Best-Selling Manga in the U.S. in February, ‘Solo Leveling’ Tops Overall List
The My Hero Academia manga ended recently, and while the anime still has a chunk of the manga to adapt, fans are – naturally – sad that their favorite series is over. But, while no new main series titles are coming out, the manga is still doing great!
As per the most recent numbers, My Hero Academia Vol. 40 is the best-selling manga title in the U.S. in February, and the second-best in the category overall, behind only Solo Leveling Vol. 11.
These numbers shouldn’t really come as a surprise for anyone, as My Hero Academia has been one of the best-selling titles for years now and is one of the most popular series of all time. Part of the “New Big Three,” My Hero Academia effectively combined Western superhero tropes with manga traditions, becoming beloved all over the world.
