Hunter x Hunter, one of the crucial well-liked mangas on the planet, has been on hiatus for over 1200 days. However that hiatus is seemingly about to finish, after the creator, Yoshihiro Togashi, appeared to submit work-in-progress of recent chapters on a model new Twitter account.
It is a unusual one. The Twitter account that posted the unique tweet bears all of the hallmarks of a faux account. The title is a seemingly randomised collection of letters and numbers, however Yusuke Murata, an illustrator greatest recognized for his work on the wildly well-liked One-Punch Man has confirmed that the account is professional. Seemingly confirming that new chapters of Hunter x Hunter are incoming.
If the unique tweet is to be trusted, it appears like Togashi is planning to create not less than 4 extra chapters.
That is incredible information for manga followers, who frequently must take care of unfinished masterworks. Berserk suffered a number of delays and can stay unfinished after its creator Kentaro Miura died final 12 months, aged 54. Personally, I have been ready years for Takehiko Inoue’s Vagabond, which hasn’t seen a brand new chapter since 2015. I’ve lengthy given up on Hajime No Ippo, which releases chapters all too sporadically to maintain monitor of.
The problem with virtually each manga that goes on hiatus is the creator’s well being. Creating manga is a labour intensive course of and holding to the strict deadlines required is extremely troublesome. Togashi himself has lengthy suffered from again points, on account of the lengthy hours spent drawing and creating manga.
Hunter x Hunter was first printed in Weekly Shonen Soar all the way in which again in 1998. It is a manga very a lot within the model of Naruto or Dragonball Z and follows Gon, a “hunter” on a long-running journey to seek out his father.
