Hunter x Hunter recently set a new record by going more than 800 days without publishing a new chapter of the manga. This was the 1st time that this had happened in the series’s history. A meeting between the voice actresses of Gon and Killua, which occurred a few weeks ago and sparked some conjecture regarding the future of the franchise, has also re-ignited discussion about the series. Despite the fact that it was only an escape room, the possibility of an announcement had piqued the interest of fans.
In the same way, Shueisha has allocated a spot in Hunter x Hunter for the next issue of Weekly Shonen Jump in the corner of the magazine, which foreshadows news for the following week’s edition of the magazine.
Knowing the franchise’s history, however, it appears that the statement in question will not be about the revival of the manga, much less about any news regarding the animated series, but rather about something related to marketing and licensing. So we advise you not to place too much stock in the enigmatic announcement of Jump because if it had declared the return of serialization, there would have been a far louder uproar in the gaming community.
The fact is that Hunter x Hunter is once again being spoken about at this moment, and who knows, perhaps the year 2021 will finally set aside some time for the manga to make a comeback. And you, on the other side, what is your expectation for the next appearance of Yoshihiro Togashi’s comic?
The sensei has been suffering from chronic back pain for several years, which has essentially prevented him from working on the manga without experiencing excruciating pain. As a result of a one-off agreement with Weekly Shonen Jump, the author was able to take many breaks throughout the duration of the serialization of the work.
