Hunter x Hunter fans have been suffering deprivation for a long time now. Every now and then, the author, Yoshihiro Togashi, gives updates on the manga’s progress, keeping fans updated on the release schedule.
Hunter x Hunter went into a long hiatus in November 2018 due to the author’s poor health conditions. The series finally made its anticipated comeback after 4 years, with the last chapter 400 on December 25, 2022.
The uneven schedule has been quite harsh on the longtime fans who have been waiting for its regular comeback. Well, here comes the good news-it is rumored to be returning for good.
Hunter x Hunter’s Fulltime Comeback-Is the Series Returning for Good
If online leaks are to be believed, the beloved manga by Togashi is coming sooner than you think. Shueisha, the famous Japanese publishing company responsible for serializing the manga on the weekly Shōnen Jump, has struck a deal with the author.
Hunter x Hunter manga is set for full-time serialization in one of the Shueisha’s magazines, which will be officially greenlit on August 20, 2024. Whether it will be the same magazine as the previous one is not confirmed yet.
According to a recent online source, the legal documents have already been signed by the president of Shueisha in early 2023, signaling approval. All that is left is waiting for the official announcement now.
