Hunter X Hunter Hiatus Announced

The HxH Manga Stops with Chapter 410

Today, it’s been confirmed that the Hunter x Hunter manga is taking a break, implying that chapter 410 will serve as the last instalment for now and be released on December 8, 2024.

It was expected that this break wouldn’t be unexpected, given that many fans thought this latest installment by Togashi would consist of just ten chapters, similar to what happened two years ago when the manga resumed from an extended hiatus. Previously, Togashi released a set of ten chapters, covering chapters 391 to 400. Two years back, after releasing chapter 400, Togashi took another break and didn’t produce any new content for quite some time. However, fans were finally rewarded with fresh material when the next batch was published a few months ago.

This break arrives particularly when the manga’s plot is intensely engaging, brimming with thrilling occurrences. From Heil-Ly and Morena to the Phantom Troupe, the Kakin Princes, and more, the narrative stands at a pivotal juncture. It’s anticipated that Hunter x Hunter chapter 410 will be extraordinary, possibly unveiling a significant revelation or occurrence.

Hunter x Hunter Between 401 and 410

Togashi Dropped an Incredible Batch of Chapters

These recently published chapters by Togashi are arguably among the most extraordinary we’ve witnessed in Hunter x Hunter for quite some time now. Each chapter surpassed expectations, delivering an exceptional reading experience.

In the latest episode of “Hunter x Hunter,” number 401, some mind-blowing disclosures were made, particularly concerning Longhi. She confessed that she is the offspring of Netero Beyond, one of his numerous children. Remarkably, one of their siblings could be a Kakin Prince, a monarch yet to be identified by readers.

402 saw readers learning that a plot was being orchestrated to take down one of the Princes, specifically Prince Luzurus. This revelation was significant, as this scheme had been masterminded by Melody and her associates with the aim of protecting Fugetsu.

In the year 403, spectators witnessed an intriguing prince named Halkenburg unleash his formidable Nen ability known as “The Boy who Shoots the Arrow: Grimmel the Dissonance.” Additionally, readers learned a startling truth about Halkenburg’s lineage. It was revealed that he is actually the son of the first queen, not the second.

19404 marked the revelation of Halkenburg’s full potential, as readers witnessed both his physical demise and the continuation of his consciousness within Might. This episode, cherished by fans, also laid significant groundwork for future encounters between Halkenburg and Benjamin.

In the 405th episode of “Hunter x Hunter,” it was a significant moment for fans of Hisoka. The genuine Hisoka reappeared after a long absence, with the previous character being unmasked as Bonolenov in disguise. Though Hisoka hasn’t shown up since then, his role is expected to be crucial moving forward.

In chapter 406 of HxH, it was a significant moment for fans of Chrollo, as the entire focus shifted towards him. This is when he disclosed his ultimate intentions – to pilfer the National Kakin Treasures and an exceptional Nen ability. With these goals in mind, he intends to finally eliminate Hisoka once and for all. The resolve with which Chrollo aims to kill Hisoka is unparalleled.

In chapter 407 of Hunter x Hunter, an engaging game kicks off as Morena abducts Borsken, a soldier from Tserriednich’s private force. The rules of a captivating card game are then laid out by Morena in this installment.

In this card game, Morena possesses a skill that influences the outcome, and the result ultimately decides whether Borksen can ally with Morena, meet his end, or escape unscathed.

In chapter 408 of Hunter x Hunter, the narrative delved deeper into the storyline, revealing that as the game progressed, fans discovered more about the character Morena, including her true identity – she is not the genuine Morena but a stand-in instead.

In response to a significant national danger, an extraordinary measure called Special Emergency Rule has been declared. This means that all military personnel under the royal command have been authorized to take immediate action against anyone deemed suspicious without prior warning. Their primary duties now include disarming citizens and neutralizing dissidents.

In the last installment available for now, the game between Borksen and Morena reached its end, leaving readers stunned as Borksen unexpectedly chose to side with Morena. She held a card that could offer her an exit from her precarious predicament. The eagerly anticipated Hunter x Hunter chapter 410 is set to drop this Sunday, likely delving into the Martial Law that was previously enforced.

When Will HxH Return?

HxH will Return Sooner than Fans Expect

Previously, when HxH took a break, fans had to endure a two-year wait for the next chapter. But this time around, things could potentially unfold quite differently. Unlike before, Togashi has explicitly stated his intention to continue working up until chapter 430. As of now, he has completed the character inking for chapters up to 424 and is likely to have finished chapters beyond 410 as well. This suggests that Togashi is not currently taking a significant break and is actively working on HxH.

Currently, fans can look forward to the narrative up to Hunter x Hunter chapter 430, since this is Yoshihiro Togashi‘s current plan. Nevertheless, it’s possible that he may require additional time to thoroughly finish these chapters.

It appears to follow the usual trend that when HxH returns, it’ll likely come out in a series of 10 chapters, from chapter 411 to 420. This suggests that we might see the return of HxH relatively soon, possibly within the next two or three months, assuming Togashi maintains his current pace and remains healthy. Regardless, fans can take comfort in knowing this won’t be a prolonged break like last time, and the story will carry on as planned.

As a dedicated Hunter x Hunter fan, I’m thrilled to share that unlike past announcements where they simply said they’d be away and halt production from the next issue, this time around, we were told that the next chapter will be announced once a date has been decided. This is certainly promising news for us fans! Here’s hoping Togashi’s health remains strong, allowing him to continue working on our beloved series at his own pace. Fingers crossed for an early 2025 release of the next Hunter x Hunter chapter!

You can access the popular manga series “Hunter x Hunter” through Viz Media. Fans have the opportunity to read it officially and for free on apps like Shonen Jump and Manga Plus. Mark your calendars as the next chapter, “Hunter x Hunter chapter 410,” is scheduled for release on December 8, 2024.
