Viz Media to release Hero Academia and Ultraman manga

This week has seen manga publisher Viz Media take to Twitter to announce not one but two new licenses, for a pair of titles which will receive print releases beginning in August 2015. Here's what they had to show off:

Hero Academia - Set in an alternate present day where many people hold superpowers, this Shonen Jump series follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy with no such powers but plenty of dreams regardless. The series has previously been made available via Viz Media's digital editions of Weekly Shonen Jump, but will be enjoying a full print release this summer.

Ultraman - Based on the well-known live-action franchise, this series from the creators of the Linebarrels of Iron manga follows an ordinary teenager with extraordinary powers - powers which allow him to become Ultraman, an all-important weapon in the fight against Kaiju to save humanity.

Are you looking forward to either of these titles? Let us know in the comments.
