Akira Toriyama is not writing Super. The one writing it is "Toyotaro"

It is cool that manga is charting at #1 in the US. Then we have other manga charting strongly as well.

It also means that mainstream outlets will look only at the Bookscan numbers, and try to tap into what they think is anime fandom based only on the fact that MHA is "the current hit best-selling manga!"
(Remember, in Hollywood, anime is still "manga" and sells at Barnes & Noble.)

So, betting pool open for when we get that US live-action MHA project thinking it's a "timely" Marvel superhero spoof.
