Hunter x Hunter has always been one of the best Shonen manga there is and this comeback is huge.
Fans have been eagerly waiting for this impending comeback. Thanks to Togashi Yoshihiro’s fortunate recovery from his illnesses, we’ll get to see more of Gon and Killua and their future endeavors. This article will cover all the details of the manga’s comeback, so you don’t have to do the research yourself.
When Will Hunter x Hunter Manga Return?
After a 2 year long hiatus, the Hunter x Hunter manga will finally start releasing again in two weeks. So, we can expect chapter 401 of the manga to be released on the 7th of October, 2024, and the subsequent chapters should be released every week, given that the manga doesn’t take another break.
Yoshihiro Togashi has taken several hiatuses previously due to his prolonged health issues, even ones that last more than 2 years. However, he has always been quick to update fans on the same. He shared the following on his social media accounts recently regarding his health issues:
“I got treatment and am feeling much better. It seems my posture I was using when coloring was the source of my back pain. It was only after someone pointed it out that I realized my posture was slightly different from my posture I took when inking my manuscript.”

Where Did The Hunter x Hunter Manga Leave Off?
After the manga entered a hiatus in late December 2022, we got to see 10 chapters of the Succession Contest arc, which were mostly focused on the mafia families aboard the Black Whale, specifically the Xi-Yu, Heil-ly, and Cha-R groups. Fans got to see many members of these families in action, and there will likely be more of them in the upcoming chapters.
Two years ago, the chapters also focused a lot on the Phantom Troupe, giving fans a look at their past. We got to see Chrollo and other members as children in Meteor City, and we learned how their experiences shaped the group and led to the founding of the Troupe. These chapters were some of the best in Hunter x Hunter and were eagerly awaited by fans.

Lastly, in these chapters, the very famous Hisoka finally returned. He hadn’t appeared in a long time, as the Phantom Troupe had been hunting him after he killed two of their members. Fans are now hoping that the next chapters will feature more of these favorite characters and others.
Now that Hisoka is finally in action and the Phantom Troupe has been getting more of the spotlight, we can expect the upcoming chapters to reveal what the other members of the Troupe are up to. There’s also a chance that some of them will finally cross paths with Hisoka, who they’ve been hunting for a while. If they do, it could lead to a deadly battle, especially since Hisoka has grown even stronger after his death and revival in the manga, so the Troupe will need to be cautious.
The story may also dive deeper into Morena Prudo, the leader of the Heil-Ly mafia. She might finally take some action. Fans can also expect to see more of the other mafia families, especially Hinrigh Biganduffno, the underboss of Xi-Yu, who played a key role in the last 10 chapters and will likely continue to be important.
Other significant characters that could return include Kurapika, one of the main protagonists, and Tserriednich Hui Guo Rou, who is being set up as a dangerous antagonist with immense potential. Whatever unfolds in the next chapters, fans can expect the story to only get more intense from here on out.
