Hunter X Hunter Manga Set To Continue Non-Weekly Serialization

Key Takeaways

  • Hunter x Hunter manga to continue from Chapter 401 as a non-weekly serialization.
  • Chapter 401 was published on October 7th in Shōnen Jump with color pages.
  • Creator Yoshihiro Togashi will release new chapters at his own pace to maintain quality and avoid burnout.

As a dedicated fan who’s been following Hunter x Hunter since its debut, this latest announcement has sent waves of excitement coursing through me! After what seemed like an eternity, our beloved manga is finally back with new chapters! The non-weekly serialization is a breath of fresh air for creator Yoshihiro Togashi, allowing him to work at his own pace and maintain the top-notch quality we’ve come to expect.


The popular manga titled “Hunter x Hunter” is resuming its publication after an almost two-year break, meaning more chapters will be coming out. This isn’t a reboot of the manga; instead, it will continue to be serialized. New chapters will be released as they are completed and not on a weekly basis, making it a “non-weekly serialization,” starting from Chapter 401.

The news came in English via the Shōnen Jump X (formerly Twitter) news page, which shared a quick post this past Sunday sharing the news along with a link to an article on Oricon with more details in Japanese. The new chapter was published in the October 7th issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump as an official return to the publication. The last chapter of Hunter x Hunter that was published was in December 2022.

This Latest Chapter is 401

In the October 7th edition of Shōnen Jump, Chapter 401 of Hunter x Hunter was released. This chapter featured “center color,” which means some pages were published in full color. Additionally, a page was dedicated to recapping the ongoing story, particularly the struggle for the throne, as a reminder for readers who might not have been up-to-date on the series’ developments over the past two years without a new release.

Since 1998, the manga “Hunter x Hunter” has been making its way into readers’ hearts. According to Oricon, the narrative, as well as the ongoing storyline (which has been translated from Japanese), are captivating.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’d put it this way:

Initially, the first 400 chapters of the manga were released weekly in Shōnen Jump. But starting from now, the weekly serialization within Shōnen Jump will no longer be ongoing. However, Shōnen Jump has promised fans that they will carry on publishing and backing the manga until it’s fully completed. Moreover, Yoshihiro Togashi himself has declared that he plans to keep sharing his work with everyone.

Non-Weekly Serialization, Explained

It’s no secret that Hunter x Hunter carries significant clout in both the manga and anime community, which means fans eagerly anticipate fresh content. Nevertheless, creator Yoshihiro Togashi has a massive task on his hands with 401 chapters under his belt. Historically, mangakas have struggled under the strain of their work, taking lengthy breaks or experiencing health issues due to the constant stress and demand for high-quality output, especially when deadlines are weekly and hours are long.

In the near future of “Hunter x Hunter,” Togashi is relieved from the constant pressure of delivering regular content. Unlike before where he had to submit new chapters for “Shōnen Jump” on a weekly or even monthly basis, Togashi can now focus on completing each chapter at his own pace, with the assurance that they will be published once done. This change allows him more comfort and flexibility in his work process.

While many manga might struggle with this publishing approach, the dedicated fanbase of “Hunter x Hunter” should prevent it from losing readers. Patience will be required as there may be longer gaps between chapters, but when a new one arrives, fans can anticipate an even greater sense of excitement. Here’s hoping that this extended waiting period allows Togashi to avoid another lengthy break and maintain the exceptional quality of “Hunter x Hunter” as it stands now.
