Hunter X Hunter Manga Creator Yoshihiro Togashi to Limit Work Due to Physical/Mental Health Issues
Togashi's Hunter X Hunter manga went back on hiatus on September 7 after having resumed serialization on June 29. The manga left off in its 420th chapter, and Togashi recently posted an update on September 15 stating that he had finished the manuscript for the 428th chapter. Shueisha published the manga's 39th compiled book volume (image right), its first volume in 22 months, on July 3. The manga has exceeded 100 million copies in circulation (including digital copies).
Shueisha published chapters 401 to 410 of the manga in its Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from issue 45 of 2024 to issue two of 2025. Togashi underwent surgery and announced that he had drafted the storyboard layouts for two more chapters of the manga in December 2024.
The manga went on hiatus in January 2023, citing health issues for the author. Shueisha stated at the time that it consulted with Togashi, and decided that the manga should not follow a weekly serialized format going forward. The editorial department added that once it knew concrete details of the manga's return and how the manga would be serialized going forward, it would reveal the details in the magazine.
Togashi launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1998. The manga inspired two television anime series, two anime films, several original video anime titles, and several stage plays. Viz Media releases the manga and anime in English.
