My Hero Academia: Vigilantes (Vigilante: Boku no Hero Academia Illegals) is a MHA spin-off manga written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court. It began serialization in Shonen Jump GIGA in August 2016 before moving to the Shonen Jump+ app in October of the same year. The manga ended in 2022. It has a total of 126 chapters compiled into 15 volumes. VIZ Media licensed it in English and describes the plot:

Koichi Haimawari couldn’t make the cut to become an official hero, so he uses his modest Quirk to do good deeds in his spare time. Then one day a fateful encounter with some local thugs leads him to team up with two other unlikely heroes. None of them really know what they’re doing, but they’ve got the courage—or foolishness—to try. But they soon discover fighting evil takes more than just being brave…

The main My Hero Academia manga by Kohei Horikoshi ended last year. The final season of the TV anime by studio Bones is currently in production. Horikoshi provided the concept for the Vigilantes manga.
