The release schedule for new episodes of Hunter X Hunter will change.
The editorial staff of Shueisha’s weekly shonen jump magazine notified readers of the publication of fresh Hunter X Hunter chapters and the continuation of the series in a message published with the current instalments. Given mangaka Yoshihiro Togashi’s health situation, the message makes it clear that the series will no longer have a weekly serialisation. Yoshihiro Togashi’s health has always been precarious, and it has only become worse as he has struggled to keep up with the rapid pace at which new chapters of the series have been published in Shueisha’s weekly shonen jump magazine.
That’s why, going forward, the story won’t be serialised in the weekly shonen Jump magazine as it has been up until now; instead, it will be released on a more irregular timetable. This might indicate that Hunter X Hunter, like the other shonen comics published by Shueisha, such as Dragon Ball Super and Boruto, would no longer appear in Weekly Shonen Jump and instead be released on a monthly basis, bi-weekly for Spy X Family and weekly for Chainsaw Man and Kaiju no. 8. A remark on the serialisation of Hunter X Hunter in the future will be made in the next issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, as stated in the note. The continuation of the serialisation will likely be announced in one of the January issues.
Speculations for Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401
When Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401 is finally released, the story will most likely continue with the current arc, so readers may look forward to finally seeing Kurapika, the narrative’s second key character. A number of subplots are interwoven throughout the succession arc, including the Troupe’s preparations to battle Hisoka and Kurapika’s quest to reclaim his clan’s eyes. The most recent instalment saw Kurapika working with Tubeppa Hui Guo Rou, the sixth Kakin prince.
It will be fascinating to find out why Kurapika chose to side with the fifth prince instead of going for the fourth Kakin, who is said to be in possession of the eyeballs Kurapika seeks. As soon as we obtain more information on the publication of Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401, we will update this page. Thereafter, you may read the most recent three chapters of Hunter X Hunter for free on Viz Media and Manga Plus.
Concerning Chapter 401
Fans of the popular manga Hunter X Hunter have to wait weeks, if not months, for the release of Chapter 401 before they can be entertained by the latest events in the succession arc. After a four-year break caused by the author’s health, the Hunter X Hunter manga returned to the pages of the monthly Shonen Jump Magazine. Since the beginning of the series, Yoshihiro Togashi’s health has been a major plot point. The author has discussed his health on Twitter, and Shuesia’s editorial staff has noted that the author’s condition has worsened over the past four years, to the point where even basic daily activities, such as getting out of bed, have become impossible due to the extreme pain the author experiences in his back and shoulders.
Nevertheless, in the fall of 2022, the manga returned from its sabbatical, publishing 10 chapters each week without any pauses, much to the delight of Hunter X Hunter’s legion of fans. Since the middle of this year, Yoshihiro Togashi has been hard at work on the chapters, providing fresh content for the fans and revealing the development of the succession arc, which is expected to be the series’ last arc. After serialising Hunter X Hunter chapters 391–400 in Jump, a weekly shonen magazine, beginning in the fall of 2022, the manga is pausing for the time being to put the author’s health first. Because of this, the release of Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401 has been postponed, although the author and the editorial staff at the Shueisha publishing business have issued statements on the series’ future.
