This is the letter Horikoshi wrote in the extras of Volume 39, it’s quite the interesting read:
«  As many of have already noticed, most chapters have become shorter. This is due to the speed at which I draw decreasing over the years and my schedule being a total mess. Because of that, I've been talking to the higher ups of the editorial department on a regular basis so that we can decide on the number of pages for each chapter in advance, allowing MHA to be included in the magazine. I know it's 100% my fault, but I always find myself thinking "if only I could draw a few more pages...!". I'm really self-centered, ain't I? How awful.
So they told me that chapter 395, "Built Upon The Joys of Others", would be 13 pages long. But, as you can see, it ended up with 15 pages. And that's thanks to Imamura-san, my editor. I made a 13 pages long first draft, but it was evident that I had to hinder the narrative for it to work. If I were a better author, maybe those 13 pages would have been enough... So, I took that first draft and handed it to Imamura-san, who read it and fell silent. After a while, he said: "...what if you added two more pages?"
An editor increasing the page count based on their personal opinion is considered a major taboo. After all, the magazine consists of many series and many chapters. But Imamura-san is a relatively younger editor, so maybe that's why. "Is that even possible?!", I asked, and his eyes lost their sparkle.
"Don't worry, I'm the only one who's going to get scolded. I liked this draft, but I think this chapter has the potential to be even better. So, I'm asking you to draw two more pages within the time limit. If the deadline comes and you haven't done it, it'll be a problem for everyone. What do you say, Horikoshi-san?"
His eyes were as black as a black hole. They were pits without any light. And that's how we managed to publish chapter 395 with 15 pages.
What I'm trying to say is that both Imamura-san and the editorial department are giving their all to make sure that MHA comes out in the best possible way. If it weren't for their efforts, maybe it wouldn't be possible for the serialization to continue. So I want to take this opportunity to thank them. Thank you very much.
And I want to send a message to everyone who's entering adulthood: meet your deadlines and avoid causing trouble for other people. Otherwise, their eyes will be filled with darkness.
(Come to think of it, I never managed to finish my summer vacation homework on time. I should have realized back then that I wasn't fit for life in society)»

Do you have any favorite volume extra sketches? (mha)
Tumblr media
Characters as animals (featuring Raki Raki <3)
Tumblr media
Keigo and Touya with Endeavor
Tumblr media
Keigo and Hawks (same thing with that illustration of Nagant and her child selves, but that's not a volume extra)
Tumblr media
Thirteen's design is so
Tumblr media
The way his expression is drawn here just makes me laugh lol
Tumblr media
I love characters who don't normally interact interacting. Also, I realized recently the scribbles underneath are their bodies. I honestly thought they were like the neck, half drawn shoulders, the beginning of their shirts and then it stopped there, but no. It's tiny scribbles of their bodies. Hori CANNOT draw chibi. And so this makes me laugh too sdnfsdnifks
Tumblr media
I love these Dabi final war arc concept designs AAAA idk they scratch smthg in my brain, I sorta wish there were more
Tumblr media
Nejire, her besties and her gf being cute
Tumblr media
This is just cute to me?? I love Hori's love of background characters
Tumblr media
HIS HAIR HIS MANE LOOK AT HIM POSE
Tumblr media
Heroes and their villains (except Tomura and Izuku)
Tumblr media
OBI SKETCH OF IZUKU SAYING TOMURA'S SMILE IS NICE (technically not an extra but apparently it is something you get with the volume so)
Tumblr media
Again, Hori's love of background characters shining through. For me, it's not so much the info itself as it is the fact that Hori literally dedicated an entire page to explaining News Reporter Backstory
Tumblr media
I remember this being the first sketch of Tomura I saw for a volume extra, so I really like it. The translation for this one is Tomura saying "Hooray." with a serious face lol
Tumblr media
MON CHAN PAWS
Tumblr media
I laugh every time I see this one. The translation coming from the plane is "You forgot your parachute!" and Best Jeanist jumps out saying "Unnecessary!". Hori can be really fucking funny
Tumblr media
BEHOLD. A MAN!! I love him
Tumblr media
This one and the symbolism behind it, since it was in the volume where Bakugou pushes Izuku aside and gets stabbed. I tend to think of it as a less intense version of that one Volume 30 cover concept Hori shared, but with the same symbolism. It still has me head-in-hands anyway and I love the meaning behind it
There's probably more but that's all I have atm

I was severely disappointed with the last volume release not having anything about afo in the volume extras section despite his fight with all might taking place, but with afo's backstory being shown I'm now cautiously hopeful that he will be in the next one

The fact that anytime Izuku is written in a fic as...
Someone who is in the Support Course
Grows up to make Support items for Pro Heroes
Or as a vigilante
... is actually something close to canon, but not for My Hero ACADEMIA.
Ever heard of "My Hero"?
Izuku was once Jack Midoriya, an adult anemic man who was a sales associate for a company that sells Support items to heroes. He actually wants to be a hero and uses his gadgets as a vigilante.
Said story also has Snipe in it!

Okay the cover is underwhelming but it's fine.
Honestly the biggest issue with it is that it's very misleading for what actually happens when he sees Bakugo's dead body 💀
