However, the lack of pages and previous sudden breaks are causes for concern. Some fans believe a week isn't enough time for Horikoshi to get back on his feet. Weekly Shonen Jump is a grueling grind for anyone.Note: This article reflects the writer's personal views.My Hero Academia fans have taken to Twitter to express their unease with Horikoshi's failing healthThe recent chapter only has nine pagesThunder Devil@ThunderTheDevil@AsarathaHS 9 pages!? oh god littarly same happen in Black Clover right before Tabata went on break.

I feel bad for Horikoshi https://t.co/c5Dq0cpsnRMy Hero Academia Chapter 376 has already been delayed by a week due to Horikoshi's poor health. It was such a sudden move that Shueisha didn't have time to change the release date on Manga Plus and VIZ. The chapter was slated for release on December 19, before being moved to December 25.Right away, readers knew that something was off when the chapter only contained nine pages. The panels were mostly used to set up the ongoing fight at the Gunga Mountain Ruins. Compared to what readers are used to, it is a meager number of pages. Either way, it's clear that Horikoshi is not feeling well.This will likely be the major talking point of My Hero Academia Chapter 376. Regardless of the content of the chapter, some fans might be too distracted with everything that's going on with Horikoshi. It's not fun knowing their favorite mangaka is not doing well.Twitter users are concerned over Horikoshi's workloadUnsurprisingly, manga readers are starting to worry about what's going on with Horikoshi. It makes it that much harder to read the recent chapter. Needless to say, many would like to see him take a long break and recuperate.Addict@Addict_ETHorikoshi please take a hiatus man, another unexpected mha break with a 9 page chapter, and this is immediately right after he was talking about how we should take care of our health :(13920Horikoshi please take a hiatus man, another unexpected mha break with a 9 page chapter, and this is immediately right after he was talking about how we should take care of our health :(AsarathaHS@AsarathaHSsometimes I think WSJ starts to care a little bit more about it's workers when Jump+ comes out and Gege/Oda/Tabata get big breaks, then they let Horikoshi work himself to the bone for months straight with constant breaks and, one time, an unfinished chapter38111sometimes I think WSJ starts to care a little bit more about it's workers when Jump+ comes out and Gege/Oda/Tabata get big breaks, then they let Horikoshi work himself to the bone for months straight with constant breaks and, one time, an unfinished chapterPotato@MrPotatoHead232@AsarathaHS I feel so bad for him man. I cannot for the life of me make sense of what's going on behind the scenes; even if he is refusing to take a break like some speculate, Akutami did the same thing but they still forced him to stop for his own health.Unbelievably cursed magazine.151@AsarathaHS I feel so bad for him man.

Despite that, he's still been providing us with gorgeous art in form of the manga and side art. As well as writing an amazingly coherent story. Before you criticize him for giving us "short chapters"...1311Not to mention, Horikoshi is struggling with health issues.

He could definitely use a long break after devoting eight years of his life to this series. If he ever plans on doing another spin-off, he should definitely wait a while.The life of a mangaka is never easyRukasu@RukasuMHAHorikoshi's letter from Jump Festa 2023:The days and months go by so fast and now the year is almost over.

Whether it's Gege Akutami or Eiichiro Oda, many popular authors have had to force themselves to take breaks. Drawing manga for a living puts a great strain on a person's body.Over a year ago, Horikoshi said he planned to end the My Hero Academia series within the next 12 months. That clearly isn't the case, since the major villains are still fighting in good shape. Many readers wonder if he needs an extended break to rest and recover.At the very least, readers should take heed to Horikoshi's statement from the Jump Fiesta 2023. A person should always take care of their health.Disclaimer: All external media in this article are the property of their respective owners, and Sportskeeda claims no ownership of the same.
