About this Collection
Volume 19 of Kohei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia collects the School Festival arc, where Class 1-A prepares for their cultural festival performance while Deku and his friends face a new threat from the villain Gentle Criminal. The volume also continues the aftermath of the Overhaul arc and deepens the bond between Deku and Eri as she begins to adjust to life at U.A. High School.
In "The Strange Tale of Aoyama," My Hero Academia #19 delivers a vibrant, character-driven chapter as Ashido pushes the class toward an ambitious performance. With Jiro and Kaminari leading the band, Yaoyorozu, Tokoyami, and Bakugo taking the stage, and the rest of the class handling lights and dance, Midoriya finds unexpected guidance from Toshinori Yagi. Written by Caleb Cook and Kōhei Horikoshi, with art by Horikoshi and inks by a team of seasoned hands, the issue captures the energy of youth and collaboration—perfectly framed by Horikoshi’s dynamic cover.
