| I personally believe he's going to keep his word when he said he's going to finish the series. I just hope it doesn't end like Yu Yu Hakusho |
 |
| even if he dies his wife will just continue it and she's just as good |
| He will either die before finishing it or give it a rushed ending. As manga is nowhere near end as he stated he wants to do a couple more arcs, but hes getting old now and his health problems seem to be worsening. I can only see him finishing this current arc at most. |
| It's been almost two years since he dropped his last volume. But I still believe Togashi will complete it but not in the near future. |

| Probably not.. Look.. I am a huge Hunter X Hunter fan. It is probably my favorite anime, but I gotta be real about the situation and Togashi in general.. People are always defending Togashi and saying things like we should be thankful for whatever we get and shit.. and please be understanding of his health issues. I am no longer playing that game. Togashi isn't some god that we need to worship and be thankful for him finishing a series that he has promised on numerous occasions that he would. I've also heard all I'm going to about "muh back" from the Togashi apologists.. No it is not reasonable for him to constantly put out like 10 scraps of a chapters a year because of 'back issues'. He is too stubborn to just outline the future arcs and allow his assistants to draw the panels.. Yes he might have some health issues but those decisions are holding the series in hiatus. That is on him. He also never updates the situation with interviews explaining the status of the series or what is going on. It is very rare he does so.. because truthfully he doesn't give a shit. People also will say well we should be patient.. and you wouldn't like it if he rushed and put out low quality stuff. Yeah.. I don't think it takes an entire year to put out quality chapters. In fact he was chained to his desk and was putting out chapters every week with Yu Yu Hakusho and that series was great.. It's pretty much over for HxH fans. It's sad but true. Might as well take the conversation at the world tree as the ending and move on. |

Might as well take the conversation at the world tree as the ending and move on. You pretty much summed up exactly how I feel about Hunter x Hunter now. This is why I refuse to read or buy the manga at this point. I'm not gonna buy work that will never be finished. The 2011 anime honestly has a perfect stopping point and I would stick to watching that and 1999. It's not worth reading the manga when none of the potential is gonna get utilized. So no, he'll never finish it. Unlike something like Berserk, I can't see an ending anytime soon with HxH. Especially with Togashi's fucking horrible pacing. |
 |
| And the thing is.. I understand Togashi's position. He went through some harsh working conditions with his previous creations and wants to enjoy his life now. He doesn't need the money and doesn't need to work a day in his life. Hunter X Hunter is his creation and he knows many people view it as a masterpiece. He wants to take his time with it and leave behind something truly special when it's all said and done. In his mind this requires that he does majority of the drawings as well. The problem is that he has stated he wants to do multiple future arcs.. At this current rate it will never get done. Nobody would be mad if we got a scheduled single chapter once a month or even every other month. It is true that he doesn't owe anybody anything, but at the same time.. keeping the status in limbo with no updates is a massive middle finger to the fans. |

Might as well take the conversation at the world tree as the ending and move on. Its quite possible that he just has writers block and is ashamed of admitting it. Lets be real no one wants to be in his shoes. The expectations for him to write anything as good as the chimera ant arc are probably crippling him. At the end of the day HXH is his story and he can do whatever he wants with it. |
| He needs to hear some whining from gintoki This was like 11 years ago the situation still hasn't changed lmao. HxH fans are gonna suffer same fate as berserk fans. |
 |
| it's seeming less and less likely... i just wish he swallowed his pride and let his wife take over drawing, i hear she's as good. a guy just wants to seee what the future of the series looks like... |
| No and he should just stop pretending he can write anything good, or pretending he can write at all, or draw... The world is already saturated with garbage. |
| I just reread the succession contest arc, and man, that is some genius-level writing, it's really a shame if he didn't continue them. On the other hand, I'm also with the people who thinks Togashi has lost interest in continuing. If I were him, I wouldn't need to continue any longer since I have all the money till I die. What's making Oda keep working despite all the profit he has is his passion towards the series, which I can't say the same for Togashi. He could've easily write storyboards and let others draw for him. But here's the thing. I, too, am an artist who creates comic every now and then. I get that having other drawing for you is really efficient, but more often than not, the result is less satisfying than our own work. But since he's already unable to work, what choices do he has? It's either having someone help him or just leave the series incomplete. Maybe he's too stubborn for the first option, or maybe he tried but noone can satisfy him. In summary, yes, I've lost all hope for Hunter x Hunter to finish. |
| I heard he's in the hospital, I don't know much about it though. Honestly I don't know but I do know if he releases a second season of the anime it will be the greatest anime of the year. |

| Never ever....... |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |

I can only see him finishing this current arc at most. His 54 not 84. His drawing not digging in mines and there are people digging in mines at 54. |
| Hiatus x Hiatus is never gonna end. A series that isn't finished after 10 years is pretty much hot garbage at this point. I wouldn't waste my time picking the series up to read if the creator himself lost interest. A bad series with an ending is better than an unfinished series. |

Zlyiond said: Me. Berserk doesn't do shit for me nowadays, Miura is writing a story for an RPG rather than a manga ever since the GA arc ended. Who needs Hunter x Hunter when you have Berserk? |

| Gon found his dad so it already ended to me. |
| I think he will but not any time soon |
| Why is age such an issue? I mean, mangakas just draw and write sitting on a chair, if something is stressful to them is the huge amount of time they spend doing it, if he decreases his schedule then he might do it with 70 years, there are some old mangakas, Golgo 13's mangaka comes to mind. I'm not saying it's the same with young mangakas, but I think it's not that different, unless they have some disease. |
| One Piece has a higher chance of getting an ending than Hiatus x Hiatus. |

| Togashi practically gave a punch to the system. He is like, no assistants, no other artist to shorten the procedure, no co-writers. He is totally against the whole "industry" and "production process" of the manga world, much like he mentioned in a previous take on the matter. He has respect for the fans, but has not for the gluttonous ones. He is like "If you are a fan, stick with me, and let me tell you the story in my pace", which reminds me what Miura does with Berserk. As much as I prefer the "week-to-week release", you can see that the demand has become outrageous. Fans demand more and more, but there is a creation process, this is art after all. The only thing I wish he did was move to another magazine in Shueisha, like Jump SQ, or the seasonal SQ.RISE, in order to free the weekly spot for new serializations. |

| One Piece actually is worth a similar discussion, the manga is put on hold almost every week nowadays, and they almost come with 15 pages instead of the standard 20. One reason is that Oda-san is very stressed drawing all those pages, barely getting any sleep, and since he is a huge mangaka, the solution to this is obvious right? Just hire 10 more assistants. But he doesn't want it from what I read so far because he likes doing almost everything himself. I understand that it's his greatest work and he takes a lot of care with it, but I think he's not doing the best decision, both because of his health and his fans who wait a lot for the story to progress. |
| The series is written in such a way where Togashi could just keep writing forever. He could've ended it after the election arc, but he didn't I don't think that he has a master plan for the story. It feels like he just takes things one arc at a time. Gon has completed his goal. Togashi has decided to focus on other characters. He can give Gon a new goal. He can keep going forever. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. He's constructed a fascinating world. I'm writing this as someone who is not started reading the Dark Continent arc. This more or less applies to every Serialized story. It's just that Togashi does not draw chapters consistently enough to explore all his ideas. |
| I just want this series to be continued by his wife.That way he can directly direct her as to how he wants the story to be.I'm not starting this series any soon unless we have any updated news about HxH. |

Its not similar at all. Oda still releases plenty of chapters. Just hiring more assistants won't work, the manga would look a lot different and worse. Oda and Togashi have plenty of assistants, they don't do everything themselves. Plenty of chapters? A normal weekly release is what then? Of course it's nothing like HXH where it goes a lot of weeks unreleased LOL, but if Oda-san can't keep with the weekly release, then it would be good for him to hire more assistants, I do not see where I'm being wrong, he has a lot of money to hire good assistants in order to not downgrade the artstyle. He has 5 assistants in average, I know he doesn't do everything himself, but he doesn't release every week also. |
| He will finish it. |
| I think he most certainlty will try, but whether his health allows him to is another story. |

I disagree Kurapika found the rest of Clans eyes (note I know that tsereidnich has the rest but that wasn't written in the election arc) so his goal was definitely accomplished sure he didn't kill the phantom troupe but still also Killua found his purpose gon met and talked to ging leorio is gonna be a doctor sure theirs a lot more to cover but I always find it weird when series try to delve into every aspect a series could offer sometimes its best to leave stuff unexplained makes the story more interesting I see the dark continent arc as extra bonus stuff that may or may not happen |

| He won't. I've come to accept that I should just be happy with what we've got |

Most of the long series that i've Read/never watched really tied up everything. Or at least it felt like they could keep going. Togashi could've just not introduced the Dark Continent. It would have been less annoying because it seems like he's never going to really write that much about it. Kurupika's Goal was set up before I was born. Watching the 2011 anime I learned about his goal. I was 14-15 when I watched that. Now I'm 21, and I don't care. Togashi doesn't really seem to care about tying up the series. |
