This legendary shonen jump manga is finally coming back after a long hiatus

When it comes to popular manga, one of the most common names is Hunter x Hunter. Written by Yoshihiro Togashi, the manga is a classic and universally loved. The popularity of the series is reflected in its sales, and according to the latest figures, it has sold more than 150 million copies, making it the best-selling manga of all time.

For many, their impressive sales demonstrate their quality, making the best-selling manga of all time an easy choice for manga fans.

While the number is certainly impressive, there's no denying that it could have been even higher if the manga hadn't been on so much hiatus. Even now, the Hunter x Hunter manga is on hiatus, but it might end soon.

Togashi has completed several chapters of the Hunter X Hunter manga

  • Togashi has completed the manuscripts from chapters 414 to 418

  • No release date has been shared yet

Recently, Yoshihiro Togashi shared an update on his X (formerly Twitter) account in which he confirmed the completion of the manuscripts for Hunter x Hunter chapters 414-418. But neither Togashi nor Shonen Jump have shared any information about the return of the Hunter X Hunter manga.

Considering that many manuscripts are ready, there is a good chance that the manga will return to Shonen Jump in the coming months. In fact, it could start as early as next month. At the same time, it is possible that fans will have to wait several more months to read new chapters of Hunter x Hunter. Hopefully, Togashi or Shonen Jump will share more news soon to ease fans' fears.

If there's one thing HxH fans deserve credit for, it's their patience. They remained by Togashi's side for years, even when the author was seriously ill. No one wanted to rush Togashi. Instead, they were asking the author to take as much time as he needed. Thankfully, Togashi seems to be feeling better. Otherwise, he would not have worked on any of the manuscripts.

Hunter x Hunter needs a new anime

Hunter x Hunter last received an anime adaptation in 2011, and since then, there haven't been any updates. However, the people involved with the franchise need to start working on producing the new anime. In today's day and age, a solid anime adaptation can significantly boost a series' popularity.

So if Hunter x Hunter releases an anime, it will get a lot of people talking about it. The release of new anime will also boost manga sales.
