Star Wars To Get Collaboration Poster With Manga Series My Hero Academia

This is one of those rare moments where my fandom with Star Wars is set to collide my fandom with manga from across the Pacific.

In a new tweet from Twitter user Yonkou Productions shared a picture from the Japanese serial magazine Weekly Shonen Jump. In it, it reveals the results of a poll, but also (more importantly) states that the manga series My Hero Academia will have a “collaboration poster” with Star Wars.

Sadly, this poster won’t be ready in the next couple weeks, and will instead premiere in a February issue. So don’t expect it to hold you over while you’re waiting for Star Wars: The Last Jedi to hit theaters. Regardless, it’s still a cool idea to see the world of Star Wars interact with the world created by manga author Kohei Horikoshi.

For those unfamiliar, My Hero Academia is a comedy adventure series that follows a boy (Midoriya) born without superpowers (or “quirks” as they’re called). Yet despite that, he has the dream of becoming a superhero in the vein of his childhood idol, All Might. A series of circumstances puts him in a position where All Might agrees to share his abilities with the young kid, and he enrolls him into a high school, where he’ll learn all he needs to be a hero.

The manga series has since been adapted into an anime series, with its second season only wrapping up a couple months back.

It’s not exactly the most predictable move for My Hero Academia to riff off Star Wars, but we’re interested to see what it brings.
