In late July 2026, manga creator Kohei Horikoshi announced two upcoming projects. An original anime special titled “I am a hero too” will be produced by Studio BONES and continue the My Hero Academia story after the TV series finale, focusing on an adult Eri and grown‑up Class 1‑A members. He also revealed a 61‑page horror‑romance one‑shot, “Don’t Laugh, Shijima‑san,” scheduled for publication in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump double issue on 10 August 2026. A week later, Horikoshi reiterated the one‑shot’s release, describing it as a boy‑meets‑girl horror tale featuring a perpetually smiling girl named Moku‑San who may hide a terrifying secret. In the same interview, Studio BONES president Masahiko Minami reflected on the decade‑long partnership with Horikoshi, the recent My Hero Academia epilogue, and the studio’s openness to original anime projects, though no new anime special was confirmed beyond the earlier announcement. On 10 August 2026, the one‑shot, titled “Quit Laughing, Shijima” (Warawanaide yo Shijima-san), was officially published in the combined issue 37+38 of Weekly Shonen Jump.
