What MEN'S NON-NO Announced

The Aug/Sept 2025 special edition of MEN'S NON-NO, set for release on July 9 by Shueisha, will feature an original illustration by My Hero Academia creator Kohei Horikoshi. The artwork shows Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo wearing the MEN'S NON-NO All-Subscriber Bonus Vol. 5 T-shirts. According to Horikoshi, he imagined Midoriya with a middle school American casual style and Bakugo as a local delinquent. The clothing design emphasizes their color palettes and includes oversized silhouettes, aligning with the MEN'S NON-NO aesthetic.

This cover will appear only on the special edition of the issue. The regular edition features actor Takeru Satoh.

Details of Bonus Items Included

The special edition includes two exclusive bonus items: an acrylic stand and an acrylic charm top using the same character illustration. The acrylic stand is approximately 11 cm tall, with a base that allows for reversible character placement and connectivity. The acrylic charm top measures about 7.5 cm and features both characters as seen on the cover. It can be used as a bag charm, keyring, or accessory for a belt loop. Note that the ball chain is not included.

Both the regular and special editions include a B5-size original illustration sticker. In addition to the cover art, the sticker features a scene of Midoriya from the manga wearing the same campaign T-shirt. It has a die-cut design suitable for use in smartphone cases or similar items.
