Hunter x Hunter is one of the manga that has a wildly inconsistent publication schedule and has taken many hiatuses over the years due to the health of author Yoshihiro Togashi, but after the recent return of the series, fans can expect to see A steady flow of chapters in Weekly Sean Jump. After many years of patiently waiting, fans can rest easy because there is more to come.
As reported by Oricon, and shared on X by @WSJ_Manga, Hunter x Hunter by Yoshihiro Togashi will be published in a non-weekly format on Weekly Sean Jump Ahead, with an irregular schedule. This is mainly to accommodate the creator’s health and back problems. Shawn Jump Also said that Togashi will continue to write the story, and they will help in any way they can until the manga is completed. This is great news It removes pressure from Togashi and will let him create at his own pace.
Hunter X Hunter will make more appearances than ever
Fans can expect new Chapters to appear more often
Although the manga’s schedule is unknown, chapter #402 is scheduled to be published on October 13, 2024. This makes sense since Togashi has already confirmed on his X account that some chapters have already been completed. Moreover, he completed character work for 20 more chapters and the rest of the work was left to the assistants. He said he aims to complete his share of 10 more chapters before the year ends.
While this news may be recent, it was actually disclosed during the series’ previous hiatus. The publishers have announced that The manga would no longer be released on a weekly basisAnd even after two years, this decision remains unchanged. This is basically a formalization of the fact that Togashi is no longer able to work on a weekly manga schedule. Fans can thus hope that the multiple-year-long hiatuses of Hunter x Hunter are over, even if they can’t expect a new chapter every week.
The demanding nature of a weekly schedule has unfortunately resulted in health issues for several mangakas, including prominent figures such as Eiichiro Oda, Gege Akutami, Tite Kubo and Yuki Tobata. It is great that Togashi and Shawn Jump Have chosen a less gruesome publication plan in consideration of the well-being of the mangaka, who suffers from chronic back problems.
