New artwork has been released to commemorate the launch of the Hunter X Hunter anime adaption in 2011.
Shonen Jump News Unofficial shared a fresh image of Gon and Killua using their combined skills to create the number 10. The anime series Hunter X Hunter, which began airing in 2011 and continued for 148 episodes before concluding in 2014, was commemorated with the release of this artwork.
This was the second time Yoshiro Togashi’s long-running shonen manga was adapted into a television series. The first season of the anime ran from 1999 to 2001, adjusting all of the manga’s accessible content before ending.
The Vampire Dies in No Time’s Hiroshi Kojima directed the second series, produced by Madhouse, the animation company behind Death Note and One-Punch Man. It was initially touted as a more faithful adaptation of Togashi’s manga than the previous series, which aired from 2005 to 2007.
In 1998, Weekly Shonen Jump published Hunter X Hunter, a story about a young boy who discovers that his father, who has gone missing, was a member of an organization called the Hunter Association, which employs gifted individuals and gives them a variety of fantastical missions, such as tracking mythological beasts, hunting for lost treasures, exploring unknown regions of the world, and tracking down wanted criminals.
Since learning that his father is still alive, Gon has dedicated himself to becoming a Hunter and finding out what happened to his parents.
With numerous hiatuses since 2006, some years have passed between new chapters in the manga series. However, the storyline is still active right now.
The series has been officially on hiatus since its final new chapter was published in November of last year. Many lengthy interruptions in the series have been attributed to Togashi’s health issues, including a chronic, severe back disease. Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of Sailor Moon, is married to Togashi Togashi.
It’s still one of the most popular shonen manga series globally, despite the series’ periodic, years-long breaks. As of November 2019, approximately 80 million copies of the manga had been printed around the globe.
As a result of health difficulties, both Naruto author Masashi Kishimoto and Jujutsu Kaisen, Gege Akutami, have had to put their manga on hold while working on new projects.
