Key recommendations
- Togashi's health improves, with new chapters confirmed.
- Fans can expect at least one monthly chapter.
- Hunter x Hunter will release chapters occasionally, not in a regular pattern.
Hunter x Hunter has made his long-awaited return to the Weekly Shonen Jump lineup. The series was absent from the magazine due to Yoshihiro Togashi's health. The author's declining health has prevented him from working freely on the manga, but that seems to be changing.
Earlier, Yoshiro Togashi revealed that the condition of his back has improved significantly. This made it possible for him to sit down and write new chapters. In a recent announcement, Togashi confirmed that he is done working Hunter x Hunter Chapters 406 and 407. It shows that the health of the author is getting better, so Hunter x Hunter will remain in the lineup for several months.

Hunter x Hunter is a timeless classic
Hunter x Hunter is a shonen manga that falls under the action-adventure genre. It has a unique power system that is eloquently explained in the manga, making it easier for readers to understand. In addition, the manga has an engaging story and an even more interesting cast of characters. All these elements contributed to its success.
The Hunter x Hunter manga began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1998. It has released over 30 volumes, and if the manga progresses at a steady pace, more will be available. When it comes to sales, Hunter x Hunter has sold over 80 million copies to date, a remarkable milestone achieved by only a handful of titles.
Hunter x Hunter is one of the few manga series to receive multiple anime adaptations. The first adaptation began airing in 1999 and was a huge hit with audiences. It was produced by Nippon Animation and ran for 62 episodes. The second adaptation was made by Madhouse and ran for over 100 episodes. While both adaptations were well received, the second one that came out in 2011 is generally considered better.
A new Hunter x Hunter video game is currently in the works at Bushiroad Games and Eighting. The game is scheduled for release in 2025.
Hunter x Hunter is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
