My Hero Academia: Vigilantes concluded in 2022, a few years before MHA was completed. All 15 volumes have been published in the US by VIZ Media but, unfortunately, the series is not on MANGA Plus, so it's hard to know if this chapter will be available internationally.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is available to stream on Crunchyroll, and the episodes are added with subs and dubs simultaneously with the Japanese schedule. It can be watched in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and many other languages.

The series may also be available with subs in select countries on Netflix — the service typically streams most seasonal anime in many Asian countries.

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes gets new episodes on Mondays, which means that Episode 2 will be released on April 14, 2025, unless there are sudden changes.

As the title suggests, MHA: Vigilantes focuses on Vigilantes, people with Quirks who fight Villains on their own, even though it is illegal.
