Hunter x Hunter Manga Teased for Return with New Chapters

Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of the popular manga series Hunter x Hunter, has once again teased the return of his manga. In a recent tweet, Togashi shared a photo of a manuscript with the number 5 in the corner, indicating that he is currently working on chapter 405. The tweet also included the text “Moon Healing Escalation!” which is a reference to a healing move used by Sailor Moon, a series created by Togashi’s wife, Naoko Takeuchi.

Togashi further updated fans with two more tweets, one featuring a manuscript with the number 6 and another with the number 7. This suggests that progress is being made on chapters 406 and 407 of Hunter x Hunter.

This news comes after Togashi’s previous hint in October of last year, where he shared a photo of a manuscript corner with the words “Start over.” In March 2023, Togashi confirmed that chapter 401 had been completed, but did not provide a specific date for the manga’s return to serialization.

Hunter x Hunter Returns After Hiatus

Hunter x Hunter went on hiatus in January 2023 with chapter 400 due to Togashi’s health issues. At that time, the manga’s publisher, Shueisha, announced that it would no longer follow a weekly serialized format. The editorial department stated that once concrete details about the manga’s return and serialization format are known, they will be shared with fans.

After a nearly four-year hiatus, Hunter x Hunter made its return in October 2022 with the release of the magazine’s 47th issue. The manga had been on hiatus since November 2018.

Yoshihiro Togashi and Hunter x Hunter

Yoshihiro Togashi originally launched Hunter x Hunter in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1998. The series has since inspired two anime adaptations, two films, several original video anime titles, and stage plays. The 37th volume of the manga, the first volume in four years, was published by Shueisha in November 2022. The English version of the 37th volume was released by Viz Media in October 2023.

Fans of Hunter x Hunter can now look forward to the continuation of the series as Togashi works on the upcoming chapters.
