Ah, the fun of things not going to plan online. While we’re all expecting the ‘big news’ reveal that My Hero Academia will be getting an anime adaptation, as the domain is registered, the spin-off manga is in the works and we’re getting all the signs of the impending announcement, things didn’t go so well officially.
