Shonen Jump News Unofficial shared a fresh image of Gon and Killua using their combined skills to create the number 10. With this image, the 10th anniversary of the Hunter X Hunter anime series was commemorated. The series aired from 2011 to 2014 and had 148 episodes.
This was the second time Yoshiro Togashi’s long-running shonen manga was adapted into a television series. The anime’s first season 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.
This manga tells the story of Gon, a young boy who discovers that his missing father 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 down mythological beasts, hunting for lost treasure, exploring unknown regions of the world, and tracking down criminals.
Hunter X Hunter was first published in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1998. With his father still alive, Gon becomes a Hunter and sets out to discover what happened to his parents.
The manga series is still running strong, even though it has been on a sabbatical since 2006, with years separating new chapters in some instances.
The series has been officially on hiatus with the November 2018 publication of the final new chapter. Because of Togashi’s persistent and debilitating back issue, the series has taken repeated lengthy interruptions. Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of Sailor Moon, is married to Togashi Togashi.
Despite the series’s periodic, years-long breaks, it’s still one of the most popular Korean manga series globally. As of November 2019, approximately 80 million copies of the manga had been sold around the world.
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.
