As anime fans would know, normally, manga creators keep away from the spotlight to stay anonymous. However, in a recent interview, My Hero Academia and Kagurabachi Creators Kohei Horikoshi and Takeru Hokazono together appeared for a special interview where they discussed their work.
During the interview, the two creators shared the origins of their respective series and what helped them reach their position. Amidst this discussion, the Kagurabachi creator revealed the three series he loved to purchase when he was a student.
Kagurabachi Creator Reveals His Three Favorite Manga

Takeru Hokazono’s three favorite manga are My Hero Academia, Naruto, and Jujutsu Kaisen. In a recent interview featuring Kohei Horikoshi and Takeru Hokazono, the Kagurabachi creator was asked what he thought about My Hero Academia when he read it for the first time.
Takeru Hokazono explained that the first time he read My Hero Academia was during his high school years. He was recommended the manga by a friend and remembered telling his friend that it was “interesting.” Hokazono also recollected that the story at the time was about to conclude the U.A. Sports Festival.
With that, Hokazono revealed that, at the time, he wasn’t drawing manga. He simply enjoyed the story and skill of the illustrations. That’s when he revealed that, while he did not read that much manga, he would buy three manga when their volumes came out: My Hero Academia, Naruto, and Jujutsu Kaisen.

While Takeru Hokazono loved My Hero Academia, Kohei Horikoshi refused to believe that. According to him, as Kagurabachi was heavily influenced by Naruto in terms of style, there was no way Hokazono liked his manga.
Apparently, this was an ongoing exchange between the two creators as Horikoshi could never believe that Hokazono liked his series that much. However, as shared by the Kagurabachi creator, he loved My Hero Academia.
