Legendary Shonen Manga Set To Make A Comeback After A 2 Year Hiatus

by

Few manga series are as well-known and loved as Hunter X Hunter, created by Togashi, even though it’s been paused several times. The series has been on break since 2024, but it now seems a new release might be coming soon.

Yoshihiro Togashi recently announced that he’s finished drawing Chapter 419 of Hunter x Hunter. He only has one more chapter to complete before a new set of chapters is ready, suggesting the manga could return in the next few months. Fans are thrilled about the continuation of the Succession War Arc!

Hunter X Hunter Could Be Returning Soon After A Long Hiatus

Togashi Finishes HxH Chapter 419

As a long-time follower of manga, I’ve always been impressed by Yoshihiro Togashi. He’s become a huge name thanks to series like Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter. While Yu Yu Hakusho finished years ago, Hunter X Hunter is still being published, though it’s been a bumpy ride. The biggest issue has been frequent and lengthy breaks in publication. But recently, things are looking up, and it seems like Hunter X Hunter might be returning to Weekly Shonen Jump soon!

Yoshihiro Togashi has been regularly updating fans on his work via his X account (@Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp). Recently, it looks like he’s been diligently working on the next installments of Hunter x Hunter.

Togashi recently announced that he’s finished work on Hunter x Hunter chapter 419, which is great news for fans! He usually releases chapters in groups of ten. The last batch, released two years ago, covered chapters 401 to 410. This next batch is expected to run from chapter 411 to 420, meaning only one more chapter needs to be completed before the series can resume in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Hunter X Hunter Doesn’t Have A Confirmed Return Date Yet

  • Hunter x Hunter is coming back, but Weekly Shonen Jump hasn’t announced an exact return date yet. The author, Togashi, is still finishing the final chapter, and considering his current work speed, it’s likely to take around a month. So, a realistic timeframe for Hunter x Hunter’s return is within the next one to two months. We should have more details once Togashi completes the current set of chapters.

New Hunter X Hunter Chapters Will Continue The Succession War Arc

Togashi Will Highlight Fan Favorites like Chrollo and Hisoka

Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of the Hunter x Hunter manga in 2026. The series is currently in a thrilling story arc called the Succession War, which is shaping up to be as captivating as the popular Chimera Ant arc. This arc sets the stage for the main characters’ journey to the Dark Continent, though that adventure won’t be fully realized for some time.

While traveling on the Black Whale, a fierce competition is underway to determine who will marry the princess of the Kakin Empire. This storyline introduces compelling new characters, including the formidable villain Morena Prudo. Two princes, Tserriednich and Halkenberg, are particularly prominent and are playing key roles in the events unfolding.

The Succession War arc brings back fan-favorite characters like Kurapika, who takes the lead while Gon and Killua are away. We also see a lot of Chrollo and the Phantom Troupe, along with Hisoka. The arc is building to a thrilling climax, and fans are eagerly anticipating the next ten chapters to see what the author has planned.

The next ten chapters of Hunter x Hunter will likely show more of the Princes getting injured or even killed, and the story will probably build towards a major turning point. Given the author’s current speed, it’s doubtful this story arc will finish quickly – it could continue for years.
