My Hero Academia Chapter 414 Delayed Release Date: Explained

My Hero Academia fans were disappointed this week when chapter 414 was unexpectedly delayed. Its scheduled February 12 release date came and went without a new chapter dropping. This surprise delay has left readers wondering what happened and when they can expect the next chapter. This article explains why the upcoming My Hero Academia chapter 414 got a delayed release date.

Reason for the Delay of My Hero Academia Chapter 414 Release Date

According to leaks and official announcements, manga creator Kohei Horikoshi is facing a serious health issue causing the delay of My Hero Academia chapter 414. Unfortunately, Horikoshi has struggled with health concerns related to overwork and stress for some time.

Recent chapters have had shortened page lengths and more breaks as the mangaka deals with demanding deadlines and a creative workload. The delayed chapter 414 seems to stem from these ongoing struggles.

My Hero Academia Chapter 414 New Release Date

After the last-minute announcement for the delay, My Hero Academia chapter 414 now has a confirmed release date of February 19th, 2024 in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and on platforms like Viz Media and MangaPlus.

Fans can expect the highly anticipated next chapter to drop then. It should continue the final climactic battle between "Deku" and Tomura Shigaraki from where Chapter 413 left off.

But with mangaka Horikoshi's health issues causing workflow changes, chapter 414 may end up shorter than usual when it does arrive. Still, My Hero Academia's devoted fanbase excitedly awaits any updates on the series' endgame.
