You may be thinking, “So, we still have 5 more chapters!?” or “Just 5 more chapters left!?“, but in any case, I hope you will enjoy them as much as I have.
5 More chapters to go! With Deku and everyone else! It has been a lot of work, but I was able to draw Deku and his friends for almost 10 Years, Thanks to your continuous support. It was like a dream coming true.
Thank you so much! See you again in Jump!
