Hunter x Hunter fans and readers will be delighted to learn some excellent news. Enough to give hope for the rest of the adventure.
After a long break, Yoshihiro Togashi, the author of Hunter x Hunter, one of the public’s most popular mangas, has announced that he is resuming his pen to continue his work. This news, eagerly awaited by fans, comes after more than a year of hiatus, marked in particular by serious health problems which regularly took Togashi away from his drawing board. A beautiful human adventure.
Hunter x Hunter and the Return of the King
Togashi’s resumption of work was revealed by a post on X (formerly Twitter), where the author often shares updates of his work. In a recent post, he revealed a preparatory sketch and discussed, with characteristic restraint, the chapters he is currently working on. According to his announcement, Togashi would be drawing chapter 405 of Hunter x Hunter, suggesting that up to five new chapters could soon see the light of day.
The Succession Contest arc, currently underway in the manga, saw its last chapter published in 2022, under the title Secrecy. Since then, admirers of the work have remained waiting, hoping for news from their favorite mangaka and the rest of the adventure.
Although the release date of the new chapters remains unknown, this announcement has sparked renewed enthusiasm among the fan community. They, while rejoicing at the return of Hunter x Hunter, remain attentive to the health of Yoshihiro Togashi, wishing to see him continue his work in the best conditions.
Launched in 1998 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, Hunter x Hunter tells the story of Gon Freecss, a young boy who dreams of becoming a Hunter to find his father, also a Hunter and a legendary figure in this world. The manga is notable for its complex plots, well-developed characters, and in-depth exploration of themes like friendship, determination, and moral conflict. In short, a beautiful work.
