Where have you been Hunter X Hunter? As far as we know, the sensei has been struggling with chronic back pain for years, which fundamentally prevents him from working on the manga without being in severe pain. Strengthened by an ad hoc contract with Weekly Shonen Jump, the author took several breaks in the course of the serialization of the work.

About two months ago, Hunter x Hunter broke a new record Exceeded 800 days without having published a new chapter of the manga. Also a few weeks ago, the series had returned to discuss it after a meeting between the voice actors for Gon and Killua, a phenomenon that had sparked some speculation about the future of the franchise. While it was actually just an escape room, the chances of an announcement had sparked fans’ hopes.

Shueisha has also made a reservation in the corner of the new edition of Weekly shonen jump a section on Hunter x Hunter that predicts News for the next issue of the magazine. However, knowing the history of the franchise, it seems that the announcement in question is not about the return of the manga, let alone news about the animated series, but something that is inherent in merchandising. So we suggest that you don’t have too many expectations for the enigmatic Jump announcement, as the announcement of the return of serialization would have been accompanied by a lot more noise.

In any case, it’s true that Hunter x Hunter has really been returning lately to be talked about and who knows that 2021 can finally reserve a small space for the manga to return. And you, on the other hand, when do you hope to see Yoshihiro Togashi’s comic again? Let us know with a comment below.
