Hunter x Hunter Creator Says Manga’s Coming Back with New Chapters

The Hunter x Hunter manga is coming back, as the series creator Yoshihiro Togashi joined Twitter and teased new chapters. Nibel noted Yusuke Murata, the One Punch Man mangaka who is also on Twitter, confirmed the authenticity of the announcement. There’s no release window for the new chapters yet. [Thanks, Nibellion!]

Here is Togashi confirming work is being done on the Hunter x Hunter chapters, with a photo of a bottom of a page. This is apparently page six, and chapters tend to be 19 pages long.

The last chapter released by the Hunter x Hunter appeared in November 2018. Chapter 390’s title was Clash: Part 1, suggesting the start of a new situation and storyline in the Succession Contest arc. The last released manga volume is 36. It only covered up to chapter 380. This means not counting these new upcoming chapters, there are 10 known chapters still not collected in a physical form.

Viz Media handles the localization of the Hunter x Hunter manga. The anime adaptation is streaming on Crunchyroll. There’s no release date for the new chapters of the manga yet.
