Yoshihiro Togashi made an appearance at the 40th anniversary bash for Osamu Akimoto's Kochikame (a long running police manga) and looked pretty healthy from pictures taken at the event. And a lot of HunterxHunter fans are pissed off. (He is the one in the middle btw) So what are your thoughts about this? Are you angry about all the hiatus that HunterxHunter is getting when he looks healthy? |

| So does everyone just expect him to stay cooped up in his house 24/7, im not even a fan of the series, but leave the poor guy alone. |
| Wait, what? Did people think that he's just lying on his death bed or something? |
| just let the guy enjoy a party it is very clear he does not care anymore about hxh and just keeps making it and putting it off because shonen demands it from him |
| Probably busy playing Dragon Quest Builders. |
| He can't leave his house without people showering him with complains, just leave the poor guy alone. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Looking healthy for one event and being healthy are completely different things. |
| He most likely made an effort to go the anniversary despite the back issues, since Osamu Akimoto is a well respected mangaka And not gonna lie that picture looks dope aff |
 |
| I mean it wouldn't be that unthinkable that he just gets stressed over the workload of long running series and takes breaks. In addition he said he had health issues dating way back to Yu Yu Hakusho and now he just doesn't power through it. Which is fine he should be able to take time off if he wants. It would also make sense to appear at an event for a 40 year old series that recently ended. Especially considering that is published in the same magazine Togahi's series have been a part of for almost 30 years. |
| sound like those fan allegedly faking their mental issues |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| isn't this time he not even using health issue as excuse? |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I mean my mom had cancer yet she didn't look like the embodiment of a cancer patient. So him going to a party or whatever doesn't change anything. |
| What's wrong with you people? Its his work and his life just leave him the heck alone. If you're truly a fan then be f*cking thankful that he's healthy and stfu and pray he decides to draw again cause that's ALL you're entitled to do. I'm thankful I got to even read HxH in the first place, and I know every has their own feelings but be a decent human being and let the guy be. It may be a writers block or stress or his back but whatever it is, can't you people just be supportive? |
| Yeah like others have said you are not entitled to anymore of Togashi's work then a pile of rocks on the street. Just because he had to stop making manga because of sick leave doesn't mean he's always sick. Making manga(especially without assistants like Togashi does) is very hard on a person and requires a lot of work. |
| every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake |
| Lol how can anyone claim that he's faking his sickness based on that one picture. He's not THAT sick, he could probably draw a chapter or so every month but I think his issue is that he's unable to sustain it for a longer period of time. I am no expert, but I think back pain doesn't act up all the time, unless you stress it. And to be honest, it is no secret that Togashi is burned out from writing manga, he's sick of it by now. He's usually only back when he's bored or wants some quick cash. ^^ to the user above me (alex), I disagree on saying that fans should leave him alone because it's his life. There are millions of people buying his manga out there and are invested in his story, yet he doesn't want to continue writing it. I would understand if you have never paid for it.. And frankly, it's not all the fans' fault, they thought they were being lied to, because Togashi has been really vague on his supposed illness and reason for his hiatus. I mean, if the guy comes out and says that "Sorry fans, I am tired of writing manga and I needed a break / my back pain is getting really bad and I couldn't continue writing", fans would probably be more tolerant and more understanding, but he hasn't done so. Instead of blaming the fans how about you trying to look from others perspective a little bit? |

| Funny how these so called fans are just thinking that they can tell Togashi what he should do in life. These ppl think that they decide what he should do. IF YOU ARE A TRUE FAN OF HIS WORK THEN JUST LET HIM BE FFS! |
lol but he should respect us as fans too , he doesn't give a crap about us most of time never explain why he go hiatus or when he will comeback like others mangaka that's why we kinda believe in dem stories about him going on net and if this keep going some people i know will die b4 he finish this arc do u have any idea how many chapters we get each year? |
 |
| @ToG25thBaam actually I own 8 volumes of his work. I paid for it out of my pocket money and they are my treasure fo sho. I paid for that artwork and that story arc, but that is all I paid for. I didn't pay for his future or mine nor did I pay for his soul. This is the problem with commodity fetishism. You forget that it is a man's life and blood and sweat. Paying for something doesn't entitle you to anything beyond what you get. Its not simply an object that you demand more of it. |
alexonxanax said: Read ^, we're paying him, he needs to have at least the most basic level of respect for his fans who have supported him through the past 15 years, half of which was spent in hiatus. I am not saying that the fans should be allowed to demand him to write more, all I am saying is that the man needs to give us a reason for his hiatus, and not just disappear all of the sudden. He owes us at least that. (don't take "owe" too literally please) Of course you can have your own opinion on whether authors should or should not care about his/her fans, but you should also understand that there's a reason the fans are displeased. It's like the girlfriend you had you thought you were gonna wed with, and she just bailed on you without even a text, and you found out she has a new boyfriend over facebook or something. Bad analogy but you can guess where I am coming from.@ToG25thBaam actually I own 8 volumes of his work. I paid for it out of my pocket money and they are my treasure fo sho.

| >2016 and people still believing health issues over dragon quest |
 |
| What kind of fake news is this. It was a Dragon Quest fans convention he was attended, nothing like whatever the fraud that news stated. |
 Tobacco Causes Severe Health Problems, Smoke Moderately While Respecting Others. |
| Who cares, he isn't obliged to continue your shitty kid manga, why should he make excuses for that. Being ill doesn't mean lying almost dead |
 |
| He's definitely not doing it for the money cause he is loaded from all the money he has made as royalty for the anime/games and the commission he continues to get from past volume sales. Even if he was, he has every right to quit or delay because that's the nature of his job. In any case clearly you people think you have some right over his actions or feelings so you guys can continue to feel all self important while paradoxically putting Togashi down. Oh well I suppose this is where I say the mundane: let's just agree to disagree. |
| Respect him for what he does in his spare time like you respect his work. To all the HxH Fans out there, he has a life and being ill does not necessary mean that you look ill |
  |
| Complaining has become second nature to western people. I'm sure that'll motivate Togashi to continue drawing for sure ! And at the same time, he must have received so much hate these past years because of HxH fans that it probably doesn't even faze him anymore. Maybe he delays releases out of sadistic pleasure :) I mean, the guy basically ragequit his previous series, did you really expect him to finish this one ? |
| I have some serious chronic health issues and I can look perfectly healthy sometimes. I have good days and bad days. Don't get all upset just because he looked healthy one day. |

| Holy shit, the people on here saying that he should take off as much time as he wants and people shouldn't complain sound fucking stupid. I don't even read the manga or watch the show yet a manage to constantly hear about this guy going on hiatus. For fucks sake, the asshole works less days a year than Santa Claus. I'm going to assume all of the people supporting him and saying he should take as much time as he wants, probably never had a job before. Making manga IS HIS FUCKING JOB. It's what pays his bills. Whether you like your job or not, you do it. Doesn't matter if he's getting tired of the series or is bored of drawing manga. It's his fucking job, and he has an obligation to do it. If he hates it so much, he should just make some rushed bullshit ending, announce his retirement, and go get a normal job. Can you even imagine if all of the people who think its ok for him to just take time off tried the same shit at any other job? "Oh yea, I'm losing interest in doing what I'm supposed to do, so I'm just going to take an undisclosed amount of time off because I feel like it". Pfffffft. Ok. |
Jonesy974 said: The thing is he isn't losing intererest for the series he still cares, that's why he goes constantly on hiatus. Because shonen jump is very pushy with schedules, but since hxh is a good show and they know it sells they choose to suck his dick.Holy shit, the people on here saying that he should take off as much time as he wants and people shouldn't complain sound fucking stupid.

|
| Apparently for some HxH fans, being unable to do a precise job due to health issue means that you must look like a rotting cadaver and smell like one as well. I blame zombie games. |
 |
| People expect him just to lay in bed 24/7 or some shit |
 |
| My thoughts on the matter are "Who?". |

I'm a student so I don't know what you mean by sticking to a job simply because its a job. If I hate a job, why would I do it? To pay the rent? But what if the job pays me so well that the rent for the next 100 years is taken care of? Would I still do it even though I hate it? I'd quit and live a life a luxury. Togashi doesn't do it for the money. He does it cause he likes doing what he does. Back when he was still working on YuYu Hakusho, he said he was so stressed out that his sleep pattern got disturbed and he suffered chest pain. The guy obviously can't handle stress. Ultimately he axed that series. I know what stress does to your health and ultimately I don't want either him or the story to suffer. That's why I and so many other fans DONT mind waiting, cause waiting guarantees that the quality of the story is good. You might be okay with reading mediocre crap but a lot of us aren't. Togashi isn't called a genius storyteller for nothing. As someone who hasn't read HxH I don't think you're qualified to comment on how he should do things. And frankly even if you did, IMHO I don't think you still should. The only problem are the people who are short sighted and impatient that they don't even care about the quality or the health of the mangaka just cause they are getting inconvenienced. |
| you pay $10 for 10 chapters your not buying a subscription, he and no author on earth owes you fucking anything, you get what you pay for to address the Togahi personally if you read the chapters before these hiatuses there is a HUGE jump in quality in terms of art which indicates that during theses hiatuses hes actually drawing these chapters slowly through the year for them to come out on a weekly basis to remain in the publication of weekly shonen jump, this may or not be the case but it makes the most sense to me NOTHING in the material we've gotten (post 2011 anime because thats all anyone cares about these days) indicates a drop in quality to backup the narrative of him just coming back every now and then just for a paycheck most of the time he dosent even release 10 chapters that equates to not enough for a volume = no paycheck he's just a 50 year old man with a terrible back and 2 kids, being a Mangaka isn't for shits and giggles its a hard fucking life without absolutely loving it no one on earth would do it |

OT: I don't really care whether he actually sick or not, it's his life, but I do admit the fans slave mentality is ridiculous. "We're just a pleb who don't deserve anything" "we didn't have any right to ask for more cuz bla bla bla". It's pathethic to be honest. The only reason he can take his time living his life peaceully without any monetary problem despite not doing any job is exactly because the fans bought his manga. He didn't owe the fans anything you said? Heck he owes his own life to the fans who keep buying his work. If he were to pull this kind of indefinite hiatus tendencies from the get go, no one would even bother to bought his manga. |

He didn't owe the fans anything you said? Heck he owes his own life to the fans who keep buying his work. If he were to pull this kind of indefinite hiatus tendencies from the get go, no one would even bother to bought his manga. I never implied anything. I don't really care if he is or not, since I lost more and more interest in this series after the york shin arc like 10 years ago or more, so HxH is so much in the past for me anyway. However, I'm not dumb or naive enough to think you can tell if someone is able to work or not by just looking at him. From several things that happened, I simply draw my own conclusions. And that is that he actually wishes to continue for a long time with his series but that he CAN'T. I would guess that it's something like hand, arm or back problem, stopping him from drawing as he would like. Drawing a manga is a lot of work, and if you have a problem in any of the above mentioned part of your body, this will quickly put strain on it. However, none of those are stopping him from going to a party. Lots of peoples that are not allowed to work anymore in their respective fields looks perfectly healthy when you look at them. Heck, even my best friend, who almost died from cancer and is still getting treatment for that looks fine and is very lively. You can't guess he almost died a few months ago if you don't know about it. My mother had to retire from working in her field earlier than normal due to her back. When you look at her, you wouldn't guess that, she looks perfectly fine. Well, she really has huge and nasty back problems. And so on, I have a lot of different examples like that. I know someone who looks perfectly fine and healthy. Except that even with his glasses he cannot see things well at all, his sight is very very bad. Since he learned to do with it in most situation you won't even notice this at all. I'm mocking peoples who aren't aware that being unable to work, or even being close to death is something that is immediately seen if you're facing the person. That's such a huge bullshit. And thinking that peoples will openly talk about their health problems is stupid as well. Just because he didn't give any explanations doesn't mean he doesn't have a proper health reason to stop. Also, most peoples on those boards don't even pay for reading HxH, they don't even buy the volumes (not all, but tons of them). Thinking that this type of peoples is entitled to get anything from the author is cute. |

| How does he look healthy in that pic? He looks like he barely stands on feet |
| Not much of a reason for him to fake health issues. I mean, there are a lot of better ways to drag out a series than that. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |

 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Meh, the manga has been pretty average lately, I could careless. Though in his defense having a back pain does not mean he should be in bed all day, drawing takes a lot of effort and you need to have a certain posture when drawing, so it's understandable that he is ablw to go to a party than spending 100s of hours making a chapter. Meh, fans are just blowing off steam because of their frustration that their favourite manga is on hiatus. |
| My only problem with the whole Togashi problem is that he doesn't get over his excessive pride. He ought to swallow his unnecessarily strong pride. He should get someone else to do the art as he does the story himself. This method is even common in the manga industry too |
| It's not like he's doing shots with Oda and Toriyama and sniffing cocaine off Akira Amano's chest or something like that. Let the man have some fun. If you want my opinion Hunter x Hunter ran it's course anyway. |

People think that Togashi suddenly became serious those weeks he was releasing and then slacked off the entire year. As if. It's clear there has been so much research that's been put into the story. You can see how he's trying a delicate balance of SO many power struggles in the current arc, it's pretty mindblowing. Anyway, thanks for pointing out that the quality of the manga released this year was hardly of the "weekly" kind. Months? Yes. Somebody said we should treat HxH as a TV series, with one season a year, spanning a few weeks. Just like Game of thrones or something (don't remember who). That's what I do. And to those who think HxH has run its course...LOL. Did you guys even bother checking the latest volume sales? It reigned the charts for months. |
alexonxanaxOct 29, 2016 3:45 PM
| togashits probably dying. he should just power thru with the last arc and kill every singles one of those hxh fucks off in the dark continent. with only Netero Beyond coming back alive. and learning his lesson of not meddling with god level aliens. |
